I've been on the Jazz a few times this season but no more so let me give you some concrete.

Jazz can't stop dribble penetration when George Hill is out. Their backup Shane Mack is a turnstile and they give up easy baskets and big runs because they're constantly being broken down. Dante Exum doesn't really belong in the league either so they have no answer when he spells him. You'd think they'd have a better scheme with Gobert behind them but no not.

A few weeks ago, Miami came in there on the 2nd night of a back to back and broke their guards down and lit them up and beat them.

They've got talented wings but nobody with the Alpha gene to take over in crunch time. So the excuses that they've just been hurt don't really add up when they crumble so often in the 4th.

Stay off them until Hill returns and understand that they will struggle down the stretch. They really don't have good excuses. Hayward and Hood are vets. And Favors is back. Just a flawed team that has to prove things before you side with them
