Let's take a look at this. The average NBA team wins 41.6% of their road games and wins 58.4% of their home games (duh). That means that the average team goes 24-17 at home and 17 and 24 on the road for a 41-41 record. NOW, how many games will Corbin cost us due to coaching mistakes? I can think of three games each of the past two years (and it is probably higher, but I don't want to spend a lot of time on this). That drops Utah's record down to 38-44. Now, you figure there will be 5 games on the road that a rookie pg in Burke will outright blow, due to turnovers, poor clock management, etc (hey, he is a rookie). That drops Utah down to 33-49.
Now, Favors has had a lot of foul trouble. Let's say he outright fouls out of 5 games, and Utah loses 2 of those. 31-49.
Utah has no "go-to" guy. Utah has 10 games where there are buzzer beaters. They lose 2 of those. 29-51.
Utah has a horrible bench. Costs us two more games. 27-53.
Can you see where this is going? This is a young team, with no leadership (hopefully that will come this year), no go to guy, they haven't been able to show they will stay out of foul trouble, they don't have late game experience, they don't have a bench, etc.
This will be a fun team to watch, but they will lose a lot at first. Hopefully by the end of the year, they start to win some games.
