It may be hard to admit, but the Utah Jazz’s mediocre play so far this season has revealed some hard truths about the team.

There’s no way around it. The 2018-19 Utah Jazz season hasn’t gone the way that anyone expected, neither fans nor media members alike. Though we knew their early schedule would be difficult, I don’t think anyone foresaw the Jazz being at a mere 18-20 at this point of the season, especially with some of the disappointing duds they’ve dropped thus far.

Nevertheless, here we are. And while Utah may very well turn some things around and get back in the playoff picture at some point, after nearly reaching the halfway point of the season, there are certainly some indisputable things we’ve learned about them. Some are positives, such as Rudy Gobert remaining a defensive monster, but others are not so much.

Unfortunately, I’m here to focus on the negative. After 38 games of play, the following are three hard truths about the Utah Jazz that have become all too clear at this point of the season. While some may be tough pills for fans to swallow, it doesn’t make them any less real.
