I just realized that our current team has officially finished with a worse record than the 2004 Jazz..

Do the 2004 Jazz get to go to the playoffs then?

That team finished 9th in the west as well.

the point is that, even with injuries, our current team has much more talent than that team, with less to show for it.

That year was enough fun to watch and Kirilenko played the All-Star Game!

What was the average margin of victory/loss?

I'm pretty sure Harpring was out most that year as well with a bad knee.

Average margin of victory/loss for each team?

Many in the media predicted that Jazz team would be among the worst ever in NBA history.

It was a monumental travesty that Sloan did not win Coach of the Year that season.

Average margin of victory/loss for each team?

2003-04 was actually a net negative.

Here's all you need to know. Games decided by 5 points or less:

2003-04 Jazz = 12-4
2015-16 Jazz = 11-16 (this doesn't even include 4 or 5 OT losses where they completely **** the bed after regulation)

Jazz are in way too many close games and they suck at finishing them.

Hate to say it but Coach Sloan is probably the major factor here. Sloan coached rings around the rest of the league while QS is still a novice.

Dementia, Parkinson's and all, I would take him next season in a heartbeat over the moron we have now.
