'Will this team ever be what the fans want it to be? A contender? A champion?'
The more recent, more understandable losses? The Jazz bricking open looks down the stretch? Yeah, it ultimately killed them.The hard truth is this: Fans do not trust the Jazz.They want to trust them.
Last season’s best record helped them not one bit against the Clippers. In fact, the team with the best winning percentage during the regular season only wins the title about one-third of the time, and more often than expected, that team doesn’t even make the Finals. The same encouragement can be found even in the season’s nadirs — if they are properly utilized for an ongoing education and an opportunity for adjustment and improvement and recovery, mentally and physically.
Mitchell rescues the team down the stretch, and then, when his team needs him, he sometimes tries too hard to go iso, missing what would be effective kick-outs. He’s not the only one to do it, but he’s the best Jazz player to do it. And when he — they — get in that mode, they miss other opportunities, such as hitting Gobert on pin-downs, and such.
Adding to all of that, Joe Ingles has played herky-jerky, like a guy who knows he might get traded. Maybe he will. Maybe he won’t.
