Andy Larsen 1. Jazz avoid ignominy, first 10 game losing streak in 33 years. Had the Jazz lost tonight, it would have been the team’s first double-digit losing streak since the 1981-82 season. However, the 9 game streak is only their...

David J Smith 1. Sacramento’s Rudy G proved a lot Monday. Rudy Gay is stepping up in a major way. His reputation has been well known around the NBA: an inefficient gunner who will put points on the board while offering very little...

Andy Larsen 1. Bad Jazz defense despite slow pace. In a game where both teams score under 100 points, it’s tempting to say that the real culprit in a loss was the offense. After all, 93 points doesn’t look like a particularly...

Andy Larsen 1. Jazz defense was under-aggressive under an elite Raptors offense. This is by now somewhat of a broken record: the Jazz’s interestingly poor defense cost them another game. In this one, the Raptors shot 57% from the...

Andy Larsen 1. It wasn’t a “WAKE UP” yell, but Snyder finally got through to his players. Probably most of the stories will tell this game as a tale of two halves: the Nuggets performance in the 1st half was just good...

Andy Larsen 1. Jazz are really struggling at all phases right now. This is relatively obvious: they’ve lost 5 games in a row. But they’re doing so in really discouraging ways. Consider, over the last 5 games, the following two...

Clint Johnson 1. The Jazz were bullied by a less talented team. Going into the night, Oklahoma City had won only 3 of 13 games, including dropping six straight – ample time to learn how little chance they have of out-talenting other NBA...

Andy Larsen 1. Shot luck hurt the Jazz tonight in the final minute. It’s funny: the Jazz have had 3 buzzer-beating opportunities this far in the season, and the best look of the three was probably tonight’s Hayward 3 point shot....

Andy Larsen 1. The Jazz continue to be blasted in the possession battle. Tonight, the Jazz had 22 fewer shots than the Pelicans, so despite holding the Pelicans to a lower shooting percentage than their own, they got beaten pretty easily in...

Dan Clayton 1. There’s no D in “One-night trip to the Bay Area.” No, really, there’s not. The Jazz never held a lead in this one, and never had a tie after 0-0. In fact, the Warriors lead was in double figures for...
