The second halfs of the 2021-22 NBA regular season began on Thursday.

To celebrate going into the final stretch of the regular season, we feel it’s time to give out some awards — both league-wide and Utah Jazz centric — as well as grade some players and teams.

On the latest episode of The Tribune’s “How ‘Bout This Jazz” podcast, host/moderator Xoel Cardenas and Tribune Jazz beat reporter Eric Walden give out the HBTJ “Two-thirds of the way 2021-22 NBA and Utah Jazz season” awards.

Some of the categories include: “Who is the NBA Rookie of the Year?,” “Bigger disappointment: Lakers or Nets?,” “Most Valuable Jazz Player this season: Donovan Mitchell or Rudy Gobert?,” and “What grade do we give the Jazz for the season thus far?”
