After getting off to a 7-4 start, which included one huge win over the San Antonio Spurs, the Utah Jazz have hit a bit of a rough patch. The Jazz have lost four games in a row, including one particularly bad loss to the Nuggets.

With all respect to Denver, that isn’t a game that Utah should be losing. In fairness, bad nights are had. And that’s OK. Thing is, this isn’t something that the Jazz should fall into routine with.

Many expected the Jazz to win close to 50 wins this season. I’m not sure losing four games in a row is something 50 win teams should be doing.
