9) The Jazz Don’t Win on the Road

The Utah Jazz have just 10 road wins this season. T-E-N. That’s two more than the Milwaukee Bucks and the same amount as the Orlando Magic and the New York Knicks. Notice anything? NONE OF THOSE TEAMS ARE CURRENTLY IN THE PLAYOFFS.

Every playoff team in both the Eastern and Western Conference has at least 11 (14 if you exclude the Chicago Bulls). The Jazz’s road record simply isn’t enough to get it done.

If the Jazz want to make the playoffs, they’re going to have to take their show on the road and rack up some more W’s.

As of this writing, the Jazz have 10 road games remaining. If they continue at their current road winning percentage, we’ll be looking at a 3-7 record in those games. The Jazz will need to steal a couple more wins than that if they hope to sneak into the playoffs.

Based on their track record, I wouldn’t be putting any money on their ability to do so.
