Give it Two Months

Here is a little series of number.  22-8, 20-6 , 21-8, 17-8.  That is the record of the Utah Jazz in February and March of the last four seasons.  That’s a combined record of 80-30.  That’s a winning percentage of .727.  If we use apply that percentage to the next two months and use the one loss to round it off we win 18 of the 26 games played through March. 

I know these are just numbers and I know I only went back four seasons because that fifth one back is pretty dismal.  Still you have to acknowledge that the Jazz have bounced back from far worse slumps in their history and they are quite good in this two-month stretch.  Last night’s game was heart-breaking.  The Jazz played extremely well considering the gaps in the squad and I can’t think of much to say that isn’t positive. 

All I’m trying to say in this little post is that there is no reason to throw in the towel.  It’s time to pull together behind the team, let them know we are still excited, and watch the heroics unfold.

   I had something of the same, but for Jan/Feb 71-20 over the past 4 seasons. But obviously this Jan. was a slider, Jazz did have a great Nov and decent Dec to help alleviate the bad Jan.

   I hope the Jazz bounce back with some awesome win streaks!

   Honestly I for one would rather see d-will sit for the next 5 games regardless of the outcome and let that wrist heal. I honestly feel when healthy the Jazz can and will compete with any team in the nba.ANY TEAM! BUT TO DO IT DERON HAS TO BE HEALTHY no chances deron let that wrist heal please! you are far to valuable to our team to rush it.Memo my heart trully goes out to you keep working hard we all know that you are one of the assets of the Jazz and can stretch the floor as good as any player on our team.Andre thanks for all the hard work over the years your stats prove your value! JAZZ GET HEALTHY AND LETS DO SOME DAMAGE! YOUR FANS ARE BEHIND YOU 100% well at least this one is…
