Rudy Gobert Breaks Down In Tears While Talking About His All-Star Snub

Rudy Gobert Flipped Out And Got Ejected Three Minutes Into The Game
There are few things that will drive an NBA big man crazier than picking up two early fouls and being forced to the bench in the first quarter. It is particularly annoying when those two fouls occur in the first three minutes of the damn game, as Jazz center Rudy Gobert demonstrated last night....

How The Hell Did The Jazz Lose By 50 To The Mavericks?
Before the season started, the Utah Jazz were considered a lock to finish top four in the Western Conference, and many prognosticators even thought they could surpass the Rockets and finish second.

Steven Adams Will Respect Your Anime Shoes
There’s probably nobody in the NBA more fun to interview than Steven Adams, who manages to be charming even when he’s quite pissed off, or being outright evasive. He always manages to shine brightest when the conversation turns to one of his favorite topics: anime....

Rudy Gobert Suffers Yet Another Ugly Knee Injury, Will Miss Another Month

Report: Dion Waiters's "Dirty Play" Will Cost Rudy Gobert A Month
Rudy Gobert wasn’t real thrilled about Dion Waiters crashing into his knees Friday night, calling it a “dirty play” and implying that the move was intentional. Well, if it was intentional, it seems to have hit its mark:...

Poor Rudy Gobert

Steph Curry Made Rudy Gobert Look Like A Bewildered Child
You can’t double team Steph Curry on the perimeter. If you go under the screen against him, you are allowing maybe the greatest shooter of all time an open look. You can switch a big guy onto him, but that means Steph gets to go at a larger, slower defender. Maybe it’s not that bad if that big guy i...

Gordon Hayward And The Utah Jazz Are For Real
The Utah Jazz have been out on the fringes of the NBA for most of the decade. They haven’t made the playoffs since the lockout-shortened season of 2011-12 and the last time Utah had an all-star was Deron Williams in 2011. However, both short droughts are probably going to end this season, as the 24-...
