The 2019 season for the Utah Jazz is going to be an exciting one. All the pieces are there to make a big run. The Jazz filled with talented players that fill all the necessary roles to go far in the modern day. But because the Jazz don’t have one of the top 5 players in the league, the comparison to the 2004 Pistons is one worth looking into.
On this episode of the SLC Punks Podcast we discuss Mychal Lowman’s piece comparing this year’s Utah Jazz to the 2004 Detroit Pistons team who won it all. Are they close? The answer might surprise you.
We also discuss other things like spacing and Rudy Gobert and what the Jazz have that can take them to the next level.
Also, Dante Exum.

The Utah Jazz are at a crossroads this season. They had a fun start that led to one of the more fun stories to start the season, but now they’ve lost 4 in a row including losses to the Spurs and the Kings. They also have a losing record and are trending downward rather than up in the standings. What should they do at, or before, trade deadline?
Lauri Markkanen is also making a big name for himself this season. He’s been putting up incredible numbers with Will Hardy and is looking like an incredible pickup for the Jazz. Can he make the all-star team? We’ve already seen the Jazz have started their campaign. Here’s what they sent to Marc Stein to remind him of what the Jazz are doing this season.

Without Mike Conley the Utah Jazz are now 1-5 this season? They have two lottery picks now and it's clear that they may not be quite the team they were at the beginning of the year when Mike Conley was playing at an all star level. With him out wins have been hard to come by. What can they do to improve? Or is the defense just not good enough for them to make it?
