Jazz blow out losses this year 

Post#1 » by carrottop12 » Sun Jan 25, 2009 8:33 pm

So I have been watching all season, and noticing that the Jazz have obviously lost more games then we want them too, but I could only remember a few times that the Jazz were getting blown out. So I went back and looked at the season and found a whoping 5 losses by more then 10 points through 44 games.

@ Cleveland
@ San Antonio
vs. New Jersey
@ LA Lakers
@ Oklahoma City

What this tells me is the Jazz are a lot closer to be a very good team then they are to being a very bad team. They are just missing a closer right now to go along with Deron. The Jazz just haven't had that go to scorer at the end of close games like they, and it's hurt them mightly down the stretch in games.

I know a team is only as good as it's schedule, but we need to realize that one of the reasons this season has been so tough to watch is because the Jazz have lost so many close games that they had a chance to win.

Yeahbut

How many teams did they blow out themselves?
"Thibs called back and wanted more picks," said Jorge Sedano. "And Pat Riley, literally, I was told, called him a mother-bleeper and hung up the phone."

I don't think the @ Cleveland one was really a blow (even the L.A.) one as we were right there in the last 5 minutes or so only to self-implode..

Yeah, the Jazz were in those games and free-throws made the final gap look bigger then it really was.

Interesting, but a loss by 1pt or 10pts is the same thing....a loss. Lets not try and sugar coat it, the jazz need to get healthy and lets see how they do.

That's exactly what I thought as well when I read that message. So I had a look and it appears that we won 12 times by more than 10 points (and once by 10 precisely) :

11/01 vs Clippers 101-79
11/3 @ Clippers 89-73
11/11 @ Philadelphia 93-80
11/17 vs Phoenix 109-97
11/19 vs Milwaukee 105-94
11/26 vs Memphis 117-100
11/28 vs Sacramento 120-94
12/05 vs Toronto 114-87
12/17 vs New Jersey 103-92
12/29 vs Philadelphia 112-95
01/07 vs New Orleans 116-90
01/10 vs Detroit 99-82

01/16 @ Memphis 101-91

However, as GP says, a lost is a lost... and that's what makes it even more frustrating: we have a slow start, catch up a bit, end up close in the 4th and lose by 5 points. I don't have to heart to count how many time that happened.

Well, we can add one more blowout loss tonight. And it really doesn't matter. I agree that a loss is a loss. Close losses just mean we can't close games.
