I meant the other team to go a whole season, without two losses in a row.

Here's 2 areas where the Jazz HAVE TO improve.

Off Rtg: 118.1 (2nd of 30)

Def Rtg: 108.3 (3rd of 30)

Net Rtg: +9.9 (1st of 30)

I could even make a case for the latter too, since a 9.9 net rating isn't historic. Other teams have done it.

I'm not impressed with the DRTG at all. Get to 103.

The Jazz had a DRTG of 103 a few years ago.

What are your thoughts on Conley Jr.'s play?
Well, he’s not the person I would have shooting a 22 footer when down by three with 17 seconds to go on a night he was 4-13 prior. Would have been a good story to have him make it but geez. If you are going to shoot a long shot, it better be a three. If it’s a two pointer, it needs to be early. We had the ball down three at 29.5 seconds and shot a 22 footer at 17.6 or something. No two for one (assuming you tie with a three). You shoot early in case you miss you can get a rebound. Or if a two a quick foul to get free throws to get it back.

Today is why I don’t say those words. Warning: overly dramatic. The world is not ending.

Even Stevens. We’ve now lost as many games to teams we “should” beat as we have beaten teams that were at or above our record (at the time of playing them.

You are your record. I get it. Long season. All teams have slumps. It could be worse than 5-6. Still have the best record. Sixers, Lakers, and Clippers lost recently, too. Washington was bound to win. They have good players, too. We’d beat them next time.

But it doesn’t feel like the best record any more. I think we are who we thought we were. Top four of the conference. Top six of the league. But the thing is, during the 22-2 streak, it didn‘t seem like we were over achieving. It felt like we were better than everyone we played in basketball.

I feel we cannot win without Conley unless Bogdanovich plays ok. Too many shit games, box score watching anyway. Maybe he’s played a lot better than the stats. Frustrated that the Jazz look good but not special. I was hoping the end of season winning we’ve been used too came early and that we’d have a second wind.

Plenty of games left, don’t peak too early. But blah, I hate sub .500 ball if it extends into double digit sample sizes.

The defense sucks.

They have the # 1 defensive rating at 109.3. But, the league sucks at defense this year.

3 years ago, they had the # 2 defense, at 103.9. Much better. Not historic great, but at least worthy of being proud of.

A 109.3 rating? And somehow that's the best? It sucks.

The net rating is Net Rtg: +8.5. That's ok. But not historic great. Historic great would be 10 or 11.

What? The Jazz are used to winning early, not late.

They started 12-1 in 2006-2007.

Why would you say it after a feel bad loss? ;)

I don’t say it after a big win because I know well have a bad loss. Not until we win a ring would we not even a good win out with a bad loss.

Also, having 3 - 1 series leads and losing them, as well as 1 - 0 NBA Finals leads, and losing that, is another sign that they know how to win early, but not late.

Basically, while NBA offenses, and the Jazz, are a little better than in years past, I think defenses are a lot worse.

So the Jazz have the worst #1 defense I've seen in a long time.

Avoided another disappointing loss, but I’ll take it:

This would have been a good loss, not a disappointing one.
