After a four-game homestand, the Utah Jazz is going on the longest road trip of ita 2021-22 NBA regular season.
Quin Snyder and his team will be away from Utah for 10 days, as a six-game road trip is on the agenda. And the road trip has its share of tough matchups. After a game against the Knicks, the Jazz will take the L train to Brooklyn to take on Kevin Durant and the Nets.
A few nights later, the Jazz will be in Boston to take on a Celtics team that has risen in stock these past few weeks. Later on the trip, there will be a matchup with the Mavericks — a possible first-round playoff preview. The trip will end in Los Angeles to battle the Clippers.
So if the Jazz come away 3-3 from the road trip, is that considered a success or failure?
In the latest episode of The Tribune’s “How ‘Bout This Jazz” podcast, host/moderator Xoel Cardenas and Tribune Jazz beat reporters Andy Larsen and Eric Walden preview the Utah Jazz’s upcoming six-game coast-to-coast road trip.
The guys also give their thoughts on whether Nickeil Alexander-Walker — who’s had a nice stretch of games played and scored 16 points in a Jazz win over the Bulls — could become more of a contributor to the team.
Lastly, the guys talk about the art that is packing a carry-on bag for a long road trip.
