SALT LAKE CITY — Fans at holiday parties and on social media have grumbled about the Utah Jazz’s slower-than-expected start, which had them second-to-last in the Western Conference this past week.
Media types, some of whom predicted the team would be the West’s second-best team, have critiqued this and that about their offense and their defense and their sub-par performance at home and their inconsistency and a lack of a second offensive threat next to Donovan Mitchell and so forth and so on.
And at 12-13, the Jazz are currently in position for a lottery pick instead of the playoffs.
