The Jazz Weekly Run

On this episode of the Weekly Run, hosts Andy Larsen and Eric Walden discuss what we've learned after a couple of games of preseason. It’s time to report what we’ve learned from speaking to the players and coaches about the Jazz’s strategic goals for the season; and the roster guys being given a chance in the second half of games so far.

On this episode of the Weekly Run, Eric Walden and Andy Larsen talk about what happened on the first night of free agency, with Jordan Clarkson and Derrick Favors both returning to Utah. We also discuss the Jazz's draft night, adding Udoka Azubuike and Elijah Hughes.

On this episode of the Weekly Run, hosts Andy Larsen and Eric Walden try out their at-home podcast mics for the first time to bring you some breakdown and analysis of the prospects that might be considered by the Jazz at the No. 23 pick.

On this episode of the Weekly Run, Eric Walden and Andy Larsen are back to talk about the Jazz. We open the show by talking about the controversial Quin Snyder/Burgess Owens article. Then, we dig into what happened this season, how the Jazz fell short of expectations, and how to improve the team moving forward.

On this week's episode of the Weekly Run, we talk about the Jazz rebounding with a winning streak, before losing to the Toronto Raptors. How much of the streak was opponent strength? What is the state of the Jazz's offense and defense? Finally, we talk about Jazz fans in relation to their NBA counterparts.

On this week's Weekly Run, hosts Andy Larsen and Eric Walden discuss the nightmare three losses from the Jazz, and who or what is to blame. We go through the six top players on the roster, the coaching staff, the front office, everything. Depressing? Maybe. Cathartic? Also maybe.

The Jazz have lost five straight, putting pessimism and gloomy attitudes in the souls of Salt Lake Tribune Jazz beat writers Andy Larsen and Eric Walden. We begin by discussing that the Jazz didn’t make any trades, and explain why. (Spoiler alert: they couldn’t, really.) We talk about some of the other trades around the league that might have impacted the Jazz, and see if they could have slithered their way into those discussions. (Spoiler alert: Again, not really.) Finally, we talk about the causes of the 5-game losing streak, and whether a bad stretch now portends doom later.

On this episode of the Weekly Run, hosts Andy Larsen and Eric Walden look at three topics. First, we talk about Kobe Bryant’s death, his impact, his legacy, and how to mourn. Then, we talk about the Jazz’s loss to the Houston Rockets. What happened, and is it indicative of larger issues? Finally, Andy worries that the Jazz won’t get adequate All-Star representation, while Eric reassures Andy that Rudy Gobert and probably Donovan Mitchell will make the All-Star game.

On this week's episode, hosts Andy Larsen and Eric Walden open by talking about Eric's love for bad rock-and-roll jackets. Then, we talk about the still-hot Jazz. Mike Conley has returned and looked good, what's happening with the rotation? We talk about Royce O'Neale's new deal. Finally, we minimize expectations for the trade deadline... a deal could be done, but it's unlikely to be a big one.

With Andy B. Larsen finishing up his road trip in New Orleans, co-host Eric Walden enlists the help of former ESPN700 host/producer and now UtahJazz.com employee JP Chunga to fill in. JP talks about how he and the Jazz's social media team have helped to bring the team's biggest moments to the masses this season, and how they're pushing Donovan and Rudy's All-Star campaigns.

Sweet success. That’s what the Jazz have tasted over the last 13 games, having won 12 of those including the last seven straight. But what does that say about the team? And what will happen when Mike Conley comes back? Hosts Andy Larsen and Eric Walden discuss whether or not there’s enough national attention on small market teams to open the podcast, before discussing, you know, the local small market team.

The Jazz are on a roll. Sure, it’s been against mostly sub-.500 teams, but winning eight of their last nine games is nothing to scoff at, either. How real is this trend, and how can they make sure it continues when the schedule does turn — albeit not for a couple more weeks? We talk about three players that have been at the forefront of the good play: Jordan Clarkson, Donovan Mitchell, and Joe Ingles. Why have they helped so much so recently?

On this week's episode, hosts Andy Larsen and Eric Walden break down the Jazz's two surprising personnel moves. What will Jordan Clarkson bring? Why does it help the Jazz to move on from Dante Exum? Why was Jeff Green waived among all of the available options. How good is Rayjon Tucker? Finally, who of the Jazz's bench guys 11-17 will make the biggest impact? We talk about all that and more on this week's show!

On this week's Weekly Run, former TribJazz and current The Athletic Jazz beat writer Tony Jones joins the show.

Then, a discussion of what Mike Conley's return will mean for the Jazz.

On this week's edition of the Weekly Run, hosts Andy Larsen and Eric Walden talk about a 4-0 Jazz stretch. We introduce the idea that you can tell how likely the Jazz are to win a game by counting how many of Mike Conley, Donovan Mitchell, Bojan Bogdanovic, and Rudy Gobert are having a good game. We also talk about Eric's Kurtis Blow interview, the bench, and much more.
