The Jazz are like a doughnut.

OK on the outside, nothing in the middle.

Not enough bigs to compensate for injuries. Outrebounded. Gave up points in the paint. Gave up too many second possessions.

Tonight’s first game I’ve seen where absence of inside depth caused a loss.

This is the good stuff in the @CHoltSports reporting.

Some Jazz fans thought the team was farther along in its journey, and Smith seems to be managing expectations about playoff aspirations in 26-27.

Also giving the team a lot of rope while JJJ and Nurkic are out.

"Now, we need to start turning it up, and we're going to. It'll be very different once we get a couple of these guys back from a consistency standpoint.

We're not happy with the start by any means. But there's only so many levers you can pull given where you're at in the season. We're definitely looking at this as a 2-3-4 year (journey), and our goal is to win a championship."

Gordie Chiesa on the Jazz's shooting woes:
1. Poor ball movement; ball's not popping around the perimeter
2. Lack of high-velocity cutting
In other words, individuals are trying to create their own shots; offense isn't creating high-percentage shots.
