Well… We can only go up from here right? The Utah Jazz suffered yet another road loss Sunday night at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves, without Anthony Edwards. Now 1-9, the Jazz tonight matched the 2013-14 Utah Jazz for the worst 10-game start to the season since the team has been in Utah. As you will recall, that 2013-14 squad included a rookie Rudy Gobert and head coach Ty Corbin… So, that is definitely not great at all!

Even under ideal circumstances, you are just not going to win a lot of basketball games when your bench unit is as poor as the Jazz’ bench was tonight, and honestly, really all year. Tonight, the Jazz bench scored only 2o points. Not only were they not scoring points, but they were bleeding points on the other end with extremely porous defense. With three of the Jazz’ most important players already not in uniform, and Keyonte George clearly hampered by illness, you just need bench guys to come in and at least hold the line by making some shots or getting stops on defense. None of those things happened.
