I know that the Jazz are pretty much a team that is playing crippled and I accepted the loss to the Bulls at the buzzer that happened earlier in the week to the Bulls. But a 105-88 loss to the Nets at home is unacceptable! Lucky for the Jazz, the first month of the regular season featured a relatively weak schedule and opening up with a 11-7 I guess isn't so bad considering the injuries that have been hitting this team, HARD. It could've been worse, especially when looking at some of the line-ups that were played in some games.
But the key for this team, and even through the rest of the season, is protecting the home floor. It is evident that this team will have struggles again on the road just like it did last year. They are known as one of the toughest teams to face on the road for opponents. But dropping games to teams like Chicago at the buzzer or New Jersey by 27 points on your home floor doesn't make you look so tough at home.
But look at the bright side Jazz fans, you have yet to see this team play to its full potential with a healthy line-up. Many writers picked the jazz to finish in the top 3 in West in the beginning of the season. My point is that we have yet to see this team at its best and I hope for it to be a treat when we finally do so.
So take the 11-7 record that our Rocky Mountain Revue team posted for the first month of the season and be happy with it. Good things are to come in the future, we just need to get healthy first. The week ahead looks very manageable with a big one on Saturday in Phoenix against the Suns.
Schedule ahead:
Tues. @ Sacramento
Wed. vs. Miami
Fri. vs. Toronto
Sat. @ Phoenix*
