Called Bank Sports: All Things Utah Jazz Basketball

In this episode, we discuss how Boston pulled out the series against Toronto, and their upcoming matchup with Miami. But first, we discuss whether or not Denver has it in them to come back from another three-one series deficit.

The Utah Jazz have exited the NBA Bubble after a heartbreaking game seven loss to the Denver Nuggets. Join us as we give our thoughts on the game and discuss what is next for the Jazz. There are a lot of big decisions the front office has to be considering right now. Do they think they have enough talent to contend for a championship next season or will they decide to trade in their veterans for players on Donovan Mitchell's timeline so they can contend in two to three years? Our bet is that we'll stick with the same core but there are changes to be considered after a round one exit two years in a row.  Join us for our thoughts on where the organization is headed and tune in next week for our continued playoff coverage. 

Tensions in the bubble this week were high, especially after the Milwaukee Bucks boycott lead to the postponement of all games. We discuss our opinions on the impact the players have had, as well as how the Jazz will fair when they return to the court for game six.

With no homecourt advantage, lower-seeded teams have a better shot than ever before to upset in the first round. Lower seeds have really been taking advantage of this opportunity (at least out west). The Utah Jazz shocked the world with two straight wins against the Denver Nuggets with the second win being one of the largest blowouts in playoff history. Join us for a conversation on what the Jazz need to do to take advantage of the momentum they've built for themselves. We also discussed the NBA draft lottery and how that could cause the Western Conference to be even more competitive next year. The Timberwolves and Warriors got the first and second picks so they will both be in the playoff race next year.

The Jazz will be facing off against the Nuggets in a best of seven series, but before that, the eighth seed in the west must be decided. We delve into all that and more on this weeks episode of Called Bank.

The Utah Jazz had a rough first week in the bubble. But could that work to their advantage? Losing more games could lead to a 6th seed where the Jazz would play the Nuggets in the first round as opposed to the Rockets and potentially the Clippers in the second round instead of the Lakers. Join us for our weekly episode of the Called Bank Podcast as we review the past week for the Jazz and talk about what the future holds both short term and long term. This was a good one so you won't want to miss it.  

The NBA is finally back! The Utah Jazz had the opportunity to play the first game back from the hiatus. Join us for a discussion on the Utah Jazz vs New Orleans Pelicans game. It was a good one where Rudy Gobert sealed the game from the free-throw line. There is a lot the Jazz should be excited about but there is definitely some rust that needs to be worked out.  The Jazz tested out a more perimeter centric offensive gameplan which needs some work but in the end, the Jazz players put up more effort and showed more energy and that is why they ended up with the W.
