Quote: | But for every winner, there must also be a loser, and this case is no exception. So today, I will present the case of one of the biggest losers from the rules changes: the Utah Jazz.
The Jazz are mired at 14-28, the third worst record in the West, after finishing a respectable 42-40 a year ago. The main difference is at the defensive end. Last season Utah gave up 101.2 points per 100 opponent possessions, which put them right around the league average. This year that's up to a putrid 108.7 -- far and away the worst figure in the NBA. |
