Sure, but thats probably because Utah hasnt played any truly awful teams yet. They still lost to the Heat and Spurs, both of whom arent playoff teams.

Exactly.
I look forward to picking up some wins against some awful teams. Maybe it even gets the team some confidence and they go on a run.

We actually have the exact same record as we did at this point last year, 13-15. Last year from this point we went on to lose 9 of our next 12 games, I don't see that happening this year. The schedule has been absolutely brutal and continues to be throughout most of December but after that it eases up dramatically. We're going to be fine. It sucks to get off to another slow start but we'll make up for it the second half of the season.

Gobert is playing. He wasn't playing when we sucked last year.

We will get better due to the schedule, but we aren't going to do what we did last year.

Yeah, but the Jazz just played the 2nd worst team in the West and lost. They just played a bad East team and lost. It's not like they have worked over the bad teams they have been able to play to this point.

I think you are wrong.
Gobert was healthy to start the season and we sucked even with him iirc. I think he got hurt right around this time last year.

Agreed. I still think we will win most of the time when we play a team like phoenix and I think our record will get better.
We will see

If you remember, we weren't good with Gobert last year either to start the season. We were just 6-11 with him in the lineup in the first part of the season. By the time he cam back from his injury the schedule eased up and we went on a run. As long as he's still healthy this year when the schedule lightens up I think we can go on another good run the second half of the season. I also don't think we're going to dig ourselves as big of a hole as we did last year, we had to dig ourselves out from being 9 games below .500.

We sucked with Gobert to start last year. Then he went down with his first injury and we played better. It wasn't until his second injury that we really sucked. But that also correlated with the hardest part of our schedule. He came back during the easiest part of our schedule.

There is a lot more than just the Gobert injury last year. Plus add to the fact that Mitchell hasn't been healthy this year.

Yeah, but there is only 1 team in the West like Phoenix and that's Phoenix. The next worst is the Spurs and they just washed us.

Ya I still think playing the suns along with playing at home more often will result in more wins. We will see.

You guys are all making good points about last year vs this year. We did play poorly with Gobert to start the year.

I do have faith that we will be better and earn a winning record. I just don't see a 25-5 run on the horizon. It's just too easy for good defensive teams to defend us. The West doesn't have 4 or 5 doormat teams anymore.
