Not only is Derrick Favors’ 24 points in this game a season-high, it’s also a higher single-game total than he scored at any point in 2016-17 season. With that fact taken into account, it is fair to call this performance a VINTAGE D-FAVES performance. We haven’t seen him look this unstoppable down low since two…

Joe Ingles 17 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (11/11/2017)
Let me again express wonderment at the fact that Joe Ingles AKA Jingles AKA Jinglin’ Joe AKA Slo-mo Joe AKA Sloppy Joe is not only an NBA player, but a valued contributor getting paid hella stacks. When I look at his flabby body, balding head, and pasty whiteness, it just doesn’t reconcile with what I…
Read MoreDonovan Mitchell 26 Points Full Highlights (11/11/2017)
Somehow, Donovan Mitchell has quickly and decisively established himself as the number one scoring option on the Jazz. That’s probably clue #1 that the Jazz aren’t going to match the lofty expectations they set after their playoff room last season. You could argue that Rodney Hood is the number one scoring option, but I don’t…
Read MoreDonovan Mitchell 25 Points Full Highlights (11/3/2017)
Donovan Mitchell sure has a lot of confidence. Most rookies outside the top five don’t come in and immediately start chucking the basketball at the rim with no remorse. They feel things out for a bit first. Learn the pecking order and their place in it, and as they get better and more confident, add…
Read MoreRicky Rubio 30 Points Full Highlights (11/1/2017)
Ricky Rubio points tonight: 30 Ricky Rubio assists tonight: 1 YES. This is what I want. I used to think I wanted Rubio to pass the ball, but it turns out I don’t. No one does. Why would you want to see him try to get his lame-o teammates involved when he could drop 30…

The Jazz commentators (I think it was Matt Harpring [god i hate him]) mentioned how Donovan Mitchell’s shot selection wasn’t very good to start the season. And I agree with him. It wasn’t very good. And guess what? It STILL isn’t very good. Any improvement in Mitchell’s performances is because he is getting better at…
Read MoreRodney Hood 25 Points Full Highlights (10/30/2017)
When was the last time you even heard anything about Rodney Hood? Utah fans can’t answer this question, I’m sure they hear about him at least once a month. But fans around the league, are you aware that Hood still exists? I can’t remember when I last read an article or even saw a tweet…
Read MoreRicky Rubio 20 Points Full Highlights (10/30/2017)
Ricky Rubio scored 20 points on nothing but jumpers tonight. No lameups, no free throws, no floaters, no dunks. Not too many assists either. He showed a lot of confidence in his midrange shot near the end of his time in Minnesota, but never anything like this. The Mavericks dared him to shoot, and he…
Read MoreRicky Rubio 21 Points Full Highlights (10/28/2017)
At what point during the summer did Ricky Rubio stop looking like a sexy Spanish adonis and start looking like one of the dudes on the covers of your dad’s 70’s vinyl collection? Because he didn’t look like this at the end of last season. I didn’t watch Eurobasket or BallEuro or HoopEuropaEvolved or whatever…
Read MoreDonovan Mitchell 22 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (10/28/2017)
The Utah Jazz may have been totally butt-reamed by Gordon Hayward’s traitorous departure, and yeah, they’re not going to be nearly as good as last year, but hey! Don’t forget about them, because they still have the dynamic duo of… Joe Ingles and Donovan Mitchell attracting attention to the land of Mormons and more Mormons…
