The Utah Jazz postseason ended in sorry fashion yet again. They blew a large series lead in their previous two playoff eliminations and this time got shut out by a Mavericks team without Luka Doncic for half the games. It appears teams have figured out this Jazz squad, how to defend them, and where to attack them. There will be plenty of blame to share and it will be fascinating to see how Utah proceeds.

After failing to qualify for last year’s play-in tournament and a report about Zion Williamson being unhappy in New Orleans, the pressure on the organization shot up dramatically. The combination of a young roster and Zion’s undisclosed foot injury led to a 3-16 start.
