Forth? It's *Forph. Its origin comes from the latin word Phoorph meaning the seed the Jazz will have going into the playoffs. Not to be confused with the word 2ekund, which is the round the Jazz will be exiting the playoffs.

It's third morans. Good for them. Now start winning ****ing home games. None of it means **** if they're still just the 3rd or 4th seed (hell, have we even been that high with Deron?) and get bounced in the first or second round.
Every game matters because seeding matters because home court is freakin' huge. I thought Deron would have realized this after we lost in the WCF in just his second year. But evidently not.

Deron should have learned that?
So many people are just UNBELIEVEABLE. Do you really think being the BEST in the NBA is that easy? If Deron just learned how important homecourt was, then the jazz would win more games and get a top seed?
How long did it take the Stock/Malone jazz to get the top seed? You think it took them that long to learn that they needed homecourt? Do you think they got that top seed in 97 because they finally figured it out?

And probably the 4th worst home record.
It doesn't matter how many games we win on the road as long as we can't even defend our own house.

Jazz have the 13th best home record.
Out of curiosity, which would make you feel more confident about going into the playoffs, a 36-5 home record and a 16-25 road record or a 28-13 home record and a 24-17 road record?

The Jazz remind me of past years' Dallas. Unexpected losses at home because of low energy and complacent attitude ,meanwhile superb, decisive wins on the road, which does not make me comfortable at all. I think winning at home against lesser opponents is as important as winning against elites on the road, in regular season. As long as you do get the win against crappy teams on the road, you will have a 50+ win record, regardless, that way. The chemistry and quality of the team, then, will show itself in tough situations, matchups in road trips.

Can we knock this down to about one or two questions here? I don't even know where to start.

The fact we're asking this question is ultimately the entire problem here. If the Jazz played better at home, this is a team that's contending with San Antonio at the top of the conference.
But since they've struggled at times at home, they're looking more like a 4-5 seed once again.
If that's the case, how is this year any different than the last four?
Utah is 11-6 at home. Had they won just half of those losses, they'd be 26-7 on the season - or .5 back from the second spot.
As is, though, they're tied for fourth and only .5 ahead of OKC for fifth (and worse, 3 behind Dallas).
Our home record will be the difference between a potentially long postseason and what we've come accustom to here at Utah - winning the 4/5 matchup and then getting tossed in the second round.

You didn't add a "not even halfway through the season" thing.
I found this interesting bit on NBA.com
We all know that first quarters have been a problem. In home games being behind by double figures in the 1st half tends to take the crowd out of the game and I think the team presses to hard because they want to keep the fans in the game. On the road its just go out and get it done because no one is cheering for you anyway. Not saying this is the reason but its a thought.

Neither. What matters more is the seeding and how confident the Jazz look going into the playoffs.
Both those records that you have posted indicate weaknesses. The first scenario says the Jazz will have trouble winning on the road which is a problem in the playoffs. The second scenario means they can win some on the road but good teams can also beat them at home. The first scenario is slightly better to have only if you secure homecourt advantage for all rounds
The fact of the matter is this.
Sloan doesn't have the guts or the brains to make any sort of adjustments in the lineup to solve the serious issues this team is having. Just the other week, P. Jackson changed his starting lineup after the lakers lost 3 consecutive games by double digits.
The saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it. But what do you do if the things is completely and utterly ****ed up?
