The Utah Jazz have their second game in a row against the Dallas Mavericks. Last time they played, Lauri Markkanen and Jusuf Nurkic rested, and the Jazz lost by a lot. What was lost in all the talk about the Jazz was that it was the back end of a back-to-back for the Jazz as […]

On the latest Kevin O’Connor show, O’Connor mentioned that the Utah Jazz “are going to be a team with big interest” in Austin Reaves.

The Utah Jazz couldn’t get it done against the Bulls in Chicago. And to make matters worse, I’m here to announce that school is back in session.

THE ECHOES OF RACING FOOTSTEPS awaken the ancient tunnels. Miles of dizzying paths weave the hallways of the catacombs, stretching from the vanishing point ahead and releasing, soaring rearward. Torches adorning the stone brick walls shoot out of view like lamp posts on the highway. Spots of perspiration soak into the uneven cobblestone floor, tracing […]
