Called Bank Sports: All Things Utah Jazz Basketball

With the Utah Jazz having the best record in the league you'd have to think that they have a shot at getting multiple all-stars selections this year. Mike Conley said that he is chasing his first all-star appearance this year and he thinks the Jazz could see four players selected plus Quin Snyder.   In this episode, we talk about how likely it is that the Jazz have four all-stars on their team this year as well as talk about the likelihood of an all-star game even happening.   

Make sure to vote every day for all-stars to make sure the Jazz get as many players in as we can. You can vote once a day by clicking this link: https://vote.nba.com/en?cid=nba:allstar21:institutional:nbacom:homehero:vote:global

Donovan Mitchell recently became the fastest player to hit 600 career three-pointers. This is amazing especially since three-pointers aren't Mitchell's best offensive skill. We also talk about Utah's winning streak and how long we think that will last and we give a preview for the next four games on the Utah Jazz schedule vs the Warriors, Knicks, and the Mavericks twice.   We also talk about what this winning streak means for the Jazz long term and if they will be able to keep the same level of play against other elite teams in the NBA. The schedule has been relatively easy for the Jazz recently but starting in early February it's going to be getting a lot harder. Are the Jazz winning just because they are playing bad teams or are they really that good?   Leave a comment below to let us know how long you think the winning streak will last.

Thanks for all of the support and all of the new subscribers! The Utah Jazz are on a four-game winning now and it may go a lot longer after looking at their schedule. The Jazz have been fixing some of their major problems at a fast rate and are starting to look like the team we expected them to be before the season began.   

All of the Jazz players have been stepping up recently especially Donovan Mitchell and Jordan Clarkson. We are waiting for Bojan to get back into rhythm but Mike Conley seems to be filling his role on offense for the time being.   

At the end of the episode, we give our thoughts on the James Harden trade to the Nets.

The Utah Jazz have had a fairly disappointing first five games of the season after dropping two games that were in their reach. They have had their high points as well especially beating a healthy Clippers team. Mike Conley has been performing really well and Rudy Gobert is showing that he earned his contract extension. Joe Ingles has looked a little out of it while Donovan Mitchell has been putting up good numbers on poor efficiency. There is a lot of room for improvement for the Jazz but they have shown flashes of how good they can be down the stretch.   Comment down below if these first five games have changed your predictions for the outcome of the Utah Jazz season.

Join us for our conversation about what we can take away from the 20-point Utah Jazz victory over the Portland Trailblazers.  Comment down below what your takeaways from the game were.  The much-awaited season opener for the Jazz was last night! The Jazz beat the Portland Trailblazers 120-100 while holding Damian Lillard to only 9 points! Utah had seven players in double figures for scoring and the team shot 50 three-pointers hitting on 38% of them. There is a lot to be excited about from this season opener and it shows what the Jazz are capable of becoming this season. Will they be fighting for the second seed in the western conference this year? There are reasons to be skeptical of this first win since the Blazers don't have the best defense and Dame Lillard may have just had an off night. But there is a bright future for this Jazz team if they can stay focused and healthy.

The Utah Jazz have finished their three preseason games and now are preparing for their season opener against the Portland Trailblazers. This NBA preseason was unique because teams didn't get a full training camp before the preseason, so starters and stars got more minutes than a typical NBA preseason so we can get a lot more out of this preseason. The Utah Jazz played the Phoenix Suns twice and the Clippers once. This can give us a lot of insight into how the Jazz will start their season since they play both of those teams in their first 10 games. 

  Bojan Bogdanovic and Jordan Clarkson were two stand out performers for the Jazz this preseason. Both players had at least one 20+ point game so far which gives us high hopes for the Jazz offense especially with the upgrades in defense which will allow the Jazz to have more offensive possessions. Jordan Clarkson may be a front runner for 6th man of the year and Bogey could be a borderline all-star this season.

The Utah Jazz are set to make a deep run in the playoffs, but could we see a cinderella run from this Jazz squad? We think the NBA is underrating this Jazz team and we think they could go further than most people give them credit for. Join us for the Jazz season preview to find out where we think the Jazz will end up this season. We have been hyped about how the Jazz look prepped for a deep run into the playoffs this season. With a healthy starting five and a deep bench, how good are the Jazz going to be? Join us for the 2020-21 season preview for the Utah Jazz. We go over how tough the Utah Jazz schedule for the first half of the season and how the Jazz match up in their first few games. There are some excellent games to start out with so make sure you're tuned in for their first game against the Trailblazers. We also discuss different lineups the Quin Snyder could use during the season in particular a pretty deadly bench lineup that could include Jordan Clarkson, Joe Ingles,  Derrick Favors, and even Mike Conley on some nights. That second unit is probably the best in the NBA this season. Oh and we almost forgot we took a little bit of time to trash talk the Nuggets after letting some key pieces walk this offseason.  This is our first Jazz season preview episode since we started the podcast in the middle of last season. So let us know what you liked and what you wish we covered and we'll definitely take time to go over it in the coming episodes.

The first half of the NBA schedule was released and it looks a little different than a typical NBA schedule. There are much longer home stands and road stretches. It is also much more common to play the same team twice in a row in the same arena. The Utah Jazz will open the season on the 23rd against the Portland Trailblazers.   We also go over the John Wall for Russell Westbrook trade and talk about Russell Westbrook's future in the league. Did the Houston Rockets win the trade? Will James Harden request a trade? Should the Rockets have traded James Harden instead of Chris Paul? The trade left a lot of question marks but it sure makes for good NBA drama. We finish up by going over how different championships impact a player's legacy.  Does Dwight Howard's ring not matter as much just because he was a role player? Do Kevin Durant's rings matter as much even though he was the best player on the team?

Last week, the Jazz resigned Jordan Clarkson as well as welcoming Derrick Favors back to Utah with open arms. This week fans have even more to cheer about as Donovan Mitchell agreed to a four-year extension with a player option at the end. With the Jazz's increased depth, we discuss some of the challenges that they might face in splitting the rotation minutes effectively. 

Also, with all that these players give to us, what can we give them? Since it has been announced that Vivint will only allow 1,500 fans in to start the season, we discuss other ways that we can show our support for this great Jazz team.
