The Jazz Can't Escape Their Biggest Problem

Jefferson is in all of his 'bad defense example' videos.

Shocking.

Not really. In the Fournier's backdoor cut, that was on Mo and Favors. Al played pretty good defense (by his standards at least). He was in the video, but the example wasn't about his faults.

The young Favors also got badly schooled by the savy veteran play of Faried. Favors over reacted (or moved to soon) to a potential PnR and Faried slipped it for an easy bucket.

I didn't say that Jefferson played defense badly in each of the vids, I just said he was in all of them.

I love reading Zac Lowe. great basketball in site in every read.

Is there any particular reason he gives so much attention to the Jazz? I couldn't imagine anyone being able to analyze and write an article of this length/detail for 29 other teams as well.

Probably because the Jazz are a weird organization.

Going along with Lowe's piece:

Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin said points in the paint is the most telling stat when it comes to evaluating his team's defensive performance.

Jody Genessy ‏@DJJazzyJody 11m
The Jazz were outscored 58-38 in the paint by the Nuggets in the blowout loss last night. Denver also shot 56.2 percent from the field.

This season, the Jazz are 27-7 when they outscore opponents in the paint. Utah is 10-28 when it's outscored in the paint.

He same could be said about 100 percent of teams at any level. Teams that score in the paint and don't let their opponents score in the paint usually win.

The jazz prefer to chuck up jumpers.
