On this week’s edition of the Weekly Run, Andy Larsen and Eric Walden open by talking about the hilarious failure of the 2018-19 Lakers. Then, we look at Rudy Gobert’s case for Defensive Player of the Year — and whether or not we think he’ll actually receive the votes to win it. It also depends on this: how many wins will the Jazz get? All that and more on this Weekly Run!
While the episode was recorded before the Jazz banned fan Shane Keisel for life, Eric Walden and Andy Larsen discuss (for a set maximum of 10 minutes) the Russell Westbrook vs. fan interaction, and what it means for the Jazz. Then, we get into basketball: what have we learned form the Jazz's disappointing 1-3 stretch? Finally, Dennis Lindsey was a guest on Adrian Wojnarowski's podcast, Eric shares what he learned.
On this week's episode, hosts Andy Larsen and Eric Walden eventually talk about basketball, after Eric makes fun of Andy for his old-man tendencies. But then: talk on Grayson Allen, Tyler Cavanaugh and the Stars; the pace of the Utah Jazz; the fate of Igor Kokoskov in Phoenix; Jingles' Ripken streak; Donovan Mitchell scoring 30 PPG for the rest of the season; and the Jazz in the clutch.
On this week's episode of the Weekly Run, Eric Walden and Andy Larsen talk about what's going on with the Jazz during the All-Star break.

On this week's episode of the Weekly Run, Andy Larsen and Eric Walden break down three topics of the All-Star break Jazz. First, we look at why deals didn't get done, and how hard it is to make deals in the NBA with various franchises. Then, we play who wins the Jazz version of All-Star Saturday? You know who would win the dunk contest, but who is the worst dunker? Then, we look at the remaining 25 games and what we expect from the Jazz.
On this week's episode of the Weekly Run, hosts Eric Walden and Andy Larsen talk about the Jazz's trade deadline efforts to acquire more talent. The Mike Conley situation is throughly discussed, as are some of the other possibilities: Otto Porter, Niko Mirotic, and others.
Rudy Gobert wasn't named as an All-Star reserve, and Andy Larsen is very surprised about this. We talk about how that happened. Then, it's been a crazy day in the league for trades, and the deadline is still a week away. How did the Kristaps deal go down? What are some of the possibilities for the Jazz to trade for, and how are those conversations going?
On this week's episode of the Weekly Run, hosts Andy Larsen and Eric Walden dive into the Donovan Mitchell at point guard experiment, whether the Jazz's 6-game winning streak is real or illusion, whether Rudy Gobert is a lock for the All-Star game, and tattoos.
On this week's episode of the Weekly Run, Lakers beat writer — and former Jazz Tribune beat writer — Kyle Goon joins Andy Larsen and Eric Walden. We talk about the Lakers without LeBron, Jazz without any point guards, how he handles a Laker beat with 70+ media members at every home game, whether Donovan Mitchell is actually a unique star, and Goon's favorite moment on the Jazz beat.
On this edition of the Weekly Run podcast, Eric Walden and Andy Larsen talk about the situation in the locker room that led to Ben Simmons' pregame quotes about Donovan Mitchell and the rookie of the year race, and, really, what Simmons wants from us. Then, we talk about Mitchell's second season, and whether or not Eric is ready to buy stock on Exum island yet.
On this week's episode of the Weekly Run, former SLTrib beat writer and current Athletic beat writer Tony Jones joins Andy Larsen and Eric Walden to break down what's happening with the Jazz lately. In particular, what has the Jazz defense (especially Rudy Gobert) done right recently? That, plus discussion of Donovan Mitchell's 5-26 performance, good and bad.
On this week's episode of the Weekly Run, Andy Larsen and Eric Walden talk about what's going on around the Utah Jazz.

That, plus the general state of the team, on this week's version of the Weekly Run!
On this week's episode, hosts Andy Larsen and Eric Walden talk about three things: 1) is the recent 3-wins-in-4-games a reflection that the Jazz are back? 2) What do we think about the Kyle Korver trade? 3) How about that bunched-up Western Conference? It also weirdly ends up being a Queen-themed episode. IDK why.
On this week's episode, we examine Gordon Hayward's return to Utah: what fans have to say about how they feel about Hayward, and how they'll react during the game.
On this week's episode of the Weekly Run, Eric Walden is back from the Jazz's 4-game road trip, and has takes. What went well during the 3 wins?
