My assessment of the Jazz after 30 games.
The Jazz have finished 30 games putting their record at 15-15 on the season so far. Let's take a look back at these last 10 games and see how they fared.
- @Golden State L 119-101
- L.A. Lakers W 96-87
- @New York L 99-88
- @Indiana L 104-99
- Oklahoma City L 101-87
- @Memphis W 98-88
- @New Orleans L 86-80
- @Oklahoma City L 111-85
- Washington W 114-100
- @Houston L 101-85
It was a rough 10 games with a couple of good wins (Lakers, @Memphis) but some horrible losses too (@New Orleans, @Golden State) The Jazz lost to the Knicks at the beginning of Linsanity without Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire. Two losses to Oklahoma City were kinda expected.
To put it bluntly the Jazz finally hit a lot of road games and couldn't handle it. Whether it's the youth on the team, the scheme from Coach Corbin, or some kind of issue with the player's attitude... this problem needs to get fixed and fast if the Jazz stand any chance to make the playoffs at all. I myself still have hope for the playoffs, however my lofty expectations have dropped for where in the playoffs the Jazz could end up. I have them now only being able to reach the 7th spot in the Western Conference. Looking at the standings, i still think the Jazz can beat out the likes of Denver, Houston, Memphis, and maybe even Portland to sneak into the playoffs but the team is going to need to perform better on the road to accomplish this, and the Jazz have 7 of their next 10 games on the road.. so we will get to see in short order how they play. Good Luck... and Go Jazz!
