Rudy Gobert 19 Points/22 Rebounds/4 Blocks Full Highlights (3/12/2015)

Rudy Gobert stepped out of the taxi. He walked up to the familiar entrance of the Wells Fargo Center in Salt Lake City. Instead of entering the building, however, he stood to the side and pressed his face against the edifice of stone and steel. It wasn’t as tall as some of his favorite skyscrapers,…

Derrick Favors 29 Points Full Highlights (3/10/2015)

I’m done screwing around. I still have a bunch of these “Flavors of Favors” cookbooks sitting around. It’s not a question of if or when you guys are going to buy them. I’m just telling you straight up: you guys are going to buy them. Now. I’ve said it before, but I think it bears…

Rodney Hood 17 Points Full Highlights (3/10/2015)

I’m a blank slate when it comes to Rodney Hood. I have no opinion of him either way. In fact, I think I may have exceeded my total opinion quota, rendering it impossible to form new opinions until I have gotten rid of some old ones. Until that happens, we’re going to have to go…

Dante Exum 14 Points/4 Threes Full Highlights (3/8/2015)

Dante “Wrecks ‘Em” Exum is kind of a bust right now. I’m just putting it out there, he could easily be good in a few years. However, at this exact moment in time, the ratio of his usefulness as a basketball player to his draft position equates out to him being a buster. Right now…

Rudy Gobert 15 Points/24 Rebounds Full Highlights (3/3/2015)

For players other than DeAndre Jordan, 24 rebounds is a heck of a lot. 0 blocks, on the other hand, is not very many for anybody except JJ Barea. Rudy Gobert has been building up to performances like this for a while. It took Enes Kanter getting packed up in a shipping crate and sent…

Trey Burke 23 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (2/28/2015)

You probably knew this already, but Trey “Treyburkulosis” Burke is a chucker of the highest order. It didn’t even hit me until just now. Despite being a very poor shooter, he is second on the Jazz in shot attempts. Now I understand why Jazz fans think he’s the worst player in the league. He is…

Elijah Millsap 17 Points Full Highlights (2/25/2015)

Elijah Millsap has begun the long, arduous journey of crawling out from the underneath the shadow of his more successful, higher-paid brother. The darkness which had seemed so impenetrable just a year ago is now brightening to a sort of dusky gray. Somewhere in the far distance, the sun shines, but Elijah has never experienced…

Rudy Gobert 16 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (2/25/2015)

“What do you mean I am no longer the most popular French NBA center!?” Rudy yelled, slamming his fist on the desk in front of him. “I’m sorry, Monsieur Gobert, I’m sorry!” whimpered a small, rat-faced man. “Everybody in France still loves you, sir. Very much, sir,” he placated. “Remi, you will tell me who…

Steve Novak 12 Points/4 Threes Full Highlights (2/9/2015)

I really thought that Steve Novak would play a nice role for the Jazz this year. I’m not even being funny or sarcastic or anything. I honestly thought that the skill that he brings to the table (you should know what it is, if not, refer to the video title) would earn him minutes on…

Trevor Booker 17 Points/2 Threes Full Highlights (1/30/2015)

So the Jazz paid Trevor Booker five million smackers per year to be an undersized hustle-type power forward. Meanwhile, Jeff Adrien, who is the exact same player minus the shaky three-point range, is out of the league. The Jazz must have looked at Chuck Hayes, who is getting nearly six million a year just so…
