Remember when the Utah Jazz were the creme de la creme of the Northwest Division and primed to duke it out with the Houston Rockets for the No. 2 spot in the Western Conference? Those were fun times.
The fun times ended, though, once the regular season tipped off.

Needless to say, the first quarter of the season has not played out as expected for the team or the division at large.
