After an embarrassing loss to the Atlanta Hawks, the Jazz slip back into a comatose state in which they fall asleep on defense, can’t hit free-throws, and are determined to give Jazz fans worldwide a heart attack. The Jazz have one of the most explosive teams (offensively) at times this year, but have consistently been bad at defense letting their opponents score with ease too many times. There have been repeated times that Okur, Boozer, Collins, and the like simply let the other team drive straight to the basket only fouling them as they blow past. This has been the case time and time again during their huge losses as of late.
MAKE YOUR FREE THROWS!!!
In the last few minutes of the game, the Jazz were driving to the basket and getting to the Free Throw line. But who cares? The game was on the line – both Boozer and Williams were struggling from the line, only making 1 for 2 time and time again. Had they just made a few more free throws, the game may have had an alternate ending as it came down to the wire.
These are the things I noticed throughout the game, they may not be comprehensive and you might have spotted something different. My predictions are that Jazz win tonight by 10+. Rock On!

Aren’t free throws a fundamental skill in basketball? Especially if it’s not even a high pressure situation…It’s just sad is what it is. Be careful with your predictions, too. I made a prediction that I was so sure about and was utterly embarrassed. I think you realize that now
Maybe predictions are bad luck for the Jazz.
