The Utah bench walk onto the floor during a timeout as the Utah Jazz and the Houston Rockets play in game 2 of the NBA Western Conference playoffs at the Toyota Center in Houston Texas on Wednesday, April 17, 2019. The Rockets won 118-98, to take a 2-0 lead.
SALT LAKE CITY — Utah Jazz general manager Dennis Lindsey didn’t mince words at the team’s exit interviews last Thursday in assessing where his team stood in its quest to win an NBA championship.
“We have a very good team, but while we have a very good team, the results show that we don’t have a great team,” he said roughly 12 hours after the Jazz were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the Houston Rockets after a 50-win regular season.
