Things Utah Jazz must improve to contend in 2011-2012 NBA Season (Part-2)
Utah Jazz requires a good Point guard:
The Utah Jazz needs a good point guard that will ensure their smooth run in the next season and especially in its conference. Currently they have one particular player Devin Harris that plays at point guard position but he needs
some more playing time on court to become a complete aggressive player. Though, he has played in All- Star game but still some more years will improve his individual game.
The Jazz’s do not have any other player who can help Harris and plays as a backup for that particular position. To include another point guard is very essential for the Jazz to improve their standing in the league. Last season,
the Utah Jazz finished eleventh overall in the Western Conference with a winning percentage of 0.476 and to improve this winning percentage requires a good point guard.
Lack of quick scorers:
The Utah Jazz badly needs some role players who can bring some consistency in their side. The lack of quick scorers is another weak point of their fragile performances for last two seasons. They have been playing with the same
old strategy that has never proved helpful for them. But the upcoming season seems more competitive as every other NBA team is preparing very hard to do well for achieving their desired goals in the upcoming season.
Since Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer have left the Jazz, the Jazz’s management could not find any legitimate replacement for these two particular players. They both had a very good time in the Utah Jazz and won many games for
their team. They were renowned for their down the stretch brilliant performances which have won many games for Utah Jazz. Since their departure, the Jazz’s are still struggling to sustain their place in the Western Conference.
Too many losses on the road:
Winning a home game is relatively an easy task than to win a game on the road. But every top NBA side also tries to win its road games for a better winning record. The Jazz’s has always suffered to win its road games and now to
improve their overall winning percentage, they have to win more road games.
Last season was not proved wonderful for Jazz as they continuously suffered losses in home as well as on the road. The Western Conference is considered a tough conference where San Antonio Spurs including the Los Angeles Lakers,
Dallas Mavericks, Oklahoma City Thunder and the Denver Nuggets are the real contenders and to defeat these teams will not be an easy task for the Utah Jazz.
Poor defence:
Without improving its defence, the Utah Jazz has very less chance to progress in the next season. The Jazz has played very poorly last season and its defence never looked confident. Last season, against every team, they could maintain
the proper defence strategy that gave opposing team open court on many occasions.
However, the Utah Jazz has brought its new head Coach Tyrone Corbin for future seasons. He is not an experienced basketball coach but he will still try his best to improve the Jazz’s defence next season. According to stats, the
Jazz’s defence was rated at the bottom of the league that must be improved in the next season to avoid more humiliation.
