Four Missing Elements from the Utah Jazz Season So Far

Although this season has been great for the Utah Jazz, there have been a few missing elements that could make it even better.

The 2016-17 NBA season has been a wild ride for Utah Jazz fans. From the highs of big wins such as at San Antonio for the first time in ten tries or Tuesday’s incredible win over the Cleveland Cavaliers to hand LeBron his sixth straight loss in Salt Lake City, to the lows of countless injuries, it’s been entertaining to say the least.

And luckily, for the most part the ups have been more frequent than the downs. The Jazz currently hold a 24-16 record, good for fifth place in the Western Conference. Given that Utah has failed to make the playoffs in each of the last four seasons, that’s a significant and encouraging improvement in and of itself.

So in all honesty, Jazz fans have little, if anything to complain about. This has been one of the most fun seasons in recent memory with plenty of exciting action and big wins to go around.

Yet, while I don’t by any means intend to complain, there are a few things that have been missing for the Utah Jazz this year that I truly hope to see before year’s end. By no means will these determine Utah’s overall success, but they’re still exciting tidbits that we’ve either experienced in past years or could use to bring some extra excitement in 2017.

So without further ado, here’s my list of the top four elements missing from this Jazz season that hopefully we will see sooner rather than later.
