While the Jazz excel defensively, they certainly have their weaknesses offensively. The Jazz are a plodding team on offense, system oriented, that focuses on finding open shots in the half court.
They have one of the slowest paces in the league and their points per game averages bear that out, averaging just 100 points per game, one of the three worst teams in the league.
Indiana Pacers
The Pacers are a team that has failed to meet expectations this season despite still being in the playoff picture. They made an aggressive trade in the offseason, moving point guard George Hill to the Jazz and acquiring a more offensive oriented Jeff Teague in return, by way of the Atlanta Hawks.
It’s possible that the Pacers simply expected too much too early from their team. Myles Turner, a stretch center, that excels defending the paint while also providing offensive versatility, may be too young to have an impact.
He continues to be a positive player and has made improvements across the board on both sides of the ball. He hasn’t made the leap however that the Pacers expected in a season where they figured to be a top four seed in the Eastern Conference.
