Coming into this season, Utah Jazz fans likely would have viewed a home contest against the Sacramento Kings as an easy victory. After all, the Kings were pegged by many to be a struggling young squad that would find it difficult to earn 30 wins in the Western Conference. Meanwhile, the Jazz, who many projected would be a a top-four team in the West, should be able to easily dispatch such lackluster competition.
Unfortunately, based on what we’ve seen thus far, Jazz fans probably shouldn’t feel too comfortable about the upcoming bout.
Sure, we’re only 17 games in and a lot could very well change.
