Whatever we did, we're sorry!

by Jake Whitacre on Mar 31, 2008 10:57 PM EDT in Recaps

I'd personally like to apologize for anything (anything!) that we might have said or did in the recent weeks and months that might have offended the Utah Jazz, the state of Utah, the USS Utah, Jazzy Jeff, jazz hands, or even Kenny G. We'll do anything! Just stop the violence!

Thankfully, I don't think it can get any worse than this.

Thanks Wiz...

I just got home from the game. I left after the 3rd quarter. It was brutal.

What do you expect. I was more bummed to see Caron and A.D. not in the starting lineup, than I am about the game. I went to the game to support my Wiz!

Anyone know how long Caron is out for? MAN!

Wow

Even worse than I thought.

Just in case they fix the headline

As of when I post this, it says "Jazz 50, Wizards 29"

I don't know about you, but losing by 41 points would be far less deflating than only scoring 29 points in a game.

Look On the Bright Side

Hmmm...

I got nothing.

Um, that game was fun.

What? They don't have TV in the D-League? Don't watch me, watch TV.

Truly Amazing Box Score

This is one of the most amazing box scores I've ever seen. Utah scored 129 points in a slow-paced game -- just 86 possessions per team. This means that Utah had an offensive rating of 151 (pts per possession x 100). League average is about 107. The Jazz had an efg of .685 -- an outlandish number. They had as many offensive rebounds as the Wizards had defensive -- typically the defensive team gets at least 2 defensive boards for every 1 offensive board they allow. A good defensive rebounding team would get 3 defensive boards for every 1 offensive board they allow.

In other words, the Jazz made a ton of shots, and then got back most of the ones they missed. I doubt Utah's ortg is the highest in league history for a single game, but it's the highest I've ever seen.
