I hate it when people say “it’s a make or miss league.”
It’s not that it isn’t necessarily true, it’s just that it’s so facile. Like, duh, teams that miss a lot of shots usually lose and teams that make a lot of shots usually win. It’s a frustrating and disappointing maxim.
But you know what? Sometimes the truth is similarly frustrating and disappointing. We’ll get into just how the Jazz lost this game in this recap, but before we do, I need you to chew on, swallow, fully digest, and then pass this gross statistic that the Jazz fell on the wrong side of tonight.
