Our Team Is On The Floor
According to Jake Fischer, the Utah Jazz are “determined to retain … Walker Kessler.” From Fischer, who was talking about the Indiana Pacers and their recent deal to trade for Ivica Zubac: Trading for Zubac likely cements the Pacers’ return to title contention in 2026-27 once Tyrese Haliburton is back from his crushing Achilles’ tear […]
The Jazz win a massive tank battle! The Jazz lost a game against the Grizzlies that they led and controlled most of the first half, but fizzled out in the second half—losing the third and fourth quarters by a combined 21 points. It was actually a very important game. Before the game started, the Jazz […]
The Jazz snatched defeat from the jaws of victory and lost 114-123. Depending on who you ask this was either a masterclass in tanking, or an embarrassing implosion. This game also featured many familiar faces for both teams, (Hello Kyle Anderson, and Taylor Hendricks) as well as an emotional homecoming for Jaren Jackson Jr. Ace […]
The Utah Jazz and Memphis Grizzlies will have a tank-off their first game post all-star break and it will be mostly a competition of young guys in this one. The flattened odds that Adam Silver set up are to blame for this game and situation. The Grizzlies would likely not care about losing games if […]
There’s a plague passing through the National Basketball Association, and it’s not tanking. Sure, the act of deliberately putting your team at a disadvantage in the hopes of improving draft odds is detrimental to the spirit of competition — when one of the teams doesn’t care to win, why should the fans? But the NBA […]
The latest news in the Tank Wars comes from the Sacramento Kings, the cute little participant in the latest tank discussion. Today, in some moves that may not even change the outcome of games, the Kings announced that Domantas Sabonis will be out the rest of the season for left knee surgery. There’s no doubt […]
One of the new regular articles I’m wanting to do is a Utah Jazz Question of the Day. I’ll do these as often as I can with questions I hope our community would like to discuss. If you have any questions you want to go over, let me know in the comments. For today’s question, […]
A letter written by the hand of General William Culvahouse Hardy, dated Wednesday, February 18, 2026, C.E. This war is not what it used to be. The times have changed faster than anyone could have predicted, and suddenly, nothing feels familiar. I now hardly remember the taste of defeat. The comfort of pre-emptively waving the […]
With the unfair and unprecedented fines against the Utah Jazz and Indiana Pacers last week, there has been a tipping point of frustration for fans and media over how poorly things have gone for the NBA under the leadership of Adam Silver. Adam Silver has done one thing right in his time as Commissioner: he […]
In our latest NBA Reacts poll, I wanted to see how good Jazz fans think the Jazz will be next season. With the addition of Jaren Jackson Jr. last week, the Utah Jazz became the center of NBA attention, but not for the right reasons. Adam Silver, in typical form, fined the Jazz for resting […]
According to Tony Jones, who was on local Utah Radio, Sam Presti is the cause behind all of the problems and scrutiny of the Utah Jazz in hopes of getting the Thunder the Jazz’s top-8 protected pick. The frustrating part is that it did work in a few ways. The NBA has already fined the Utah […]
After a feisty and generally entertaining 48 minutes of basketball, the Utah Jazz ultimately fell to the Portland Trailblazers, 119-135. But hey! This loss with zero minutes of Lauri Markkanen will allow us to dodge the $500,000 anti-tank hammer viciously swung down on the… win with 25 minutes of Lauri Markkanen. Adds up. Brice Sensabaugh […]
The Jazz lose a sloppy game 135-119 to the Portland Trail Blazers. Svi kept it close in the 4th quarter for a while, but Portland proved to be too good, and cruised to a comfortable win. Ace Bailey – B Bailey had a ridiculous dunk tonight, where he faked a shot, lobbed it off the […]
Adam Silver fined the Utah Jazz $500,000 today for decisions prioritizing draft position over winning. Adam Silver’s full statement states, “Overt behavior like this that prioritizes draft position over winning undermines the foundation of NBA competition, and we will respond accordingly to any further actions that compromise the integrity of our games.” It’s interesting that […]
The NBA announced that Ace Bailey will be added to the Rising Stars game over All-Star Weekend. Bailey has been selected to replace Cooper Flagg who is out with a foot sprain. It’s a big honor for Bailey, who deserved a right to be on the team before the injury to Flagg. For the season, […]
According to Chris Haynes, Jaren Jackson Jr. is likely to miss the remainder of the season to have surgery on his left knee. Haynes mentions that he is having the surgery to ensure his longterm health after a localized PVNS growth was discovered post trade. So what’s a PVNS growth? It sounds like it’s a […]
That was the sort of outrage posted to social media after the Jazz…*checks notes*…won their second game in a row over three matches? No, of course not the lineup — or concept of one — the Sacramento Kings threw into the fire in Utah’s 121-93 victory last night in the Delta Center. But there’s still […]
The Sacramento Kings are bad at basketball. Like really, really bad. Lose to the infamously tanking Jazz by nearly 30 points bad. Empty Delta Center bad. So bad that the official dictionary of basketball is this close to changing the definition of “bad” to simply: an organization that used to be a professional basketball team, […]
If you didn’t notice, the Utah Jazz have become a point of interest for the entire NBA this week because of how they decided to rest their players. Considering the Jazz are the last thing the NBA and media outlets worry about, it’s a little surprising. Utah has done nothing different than the other tanking […]
It’s the battle of the tanks as the Western Conference’s worst team, the Sacramento Kings, travel to Salt Lake City to take on the No. 13 team out West, the Utah Jazz. Utah (17-37) and Sacramento (12-43) split their previous two meetings earlier in the regular season, and this game is vital in the tanking […]
Since trading for Jaren Jackson Jr., the Utah Jazz have been an exciting team to watch. Since February 7th, when Jackson joined the team, the Jazz have had a top ten defense. Offensively, it’s not been as good, but that has not included having Keyonte George (who injured his ankle in Jackson’s debut) and Walker […]
“What the Utah Jazz are doing is messing around with the integrity of the game.” Bobby Marks took to national television to reiterate the discourse that has been poisoning recent NBA discussion — the Utah Jazz are dismantling the sanctity of competition. They’re shredding the fabric of competition; defiling the tapestry of professional basketball. How […]
The Utah Jazz, despite their best efforts, beat the Miami Heat with a final score of 115-111. Utah’s tanking tactic of pulling Lauri Markkanen, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Jusuf Nurkic after the third quarter in favor of the youth could not snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Through the first three quarters, the Jazz […]
After a wonderful debut to the Jaren Jackson Jr. era of Jazz basketball, Utah continues its east-coast roadtrip against the Miami Heat tonight. Jackson Jr., who impressed with 22 points and three steals, did not play in the fourth quarter after the Jazz led by 15 points in the third quarter against the Orlando Magic. […]
It was a sight to behold. Jaren Jackson Jr. in a beautiful purple jersey with”Utah” written out diagonally over a gradient mountain on his chest with a baby blue trim on the edges. Quadruple J — Jazz Jaren Jackson Jr. — had finally arrived. For days, fans across the NBA anxiously awaited to see how […]
