Both things can be true at the same time
Absolutely agree.
In other news, we also beat the absolute best half court team.
Stats can be funny.

Sure they can. And knowing you, you truly think/believe we are in fact the worst team in the nba. We aren't though and when we play portland, houston, memphis, atlanta, toronto, detroit, orlando, washington, charlotte, san antonio, etc we will almost certainly look much better than when we play the nuggets, kings, suns, and clippers.
Man, you are extremely weird. The Jazz have played some of the best teams in the NBA. Why anyone is looking at advanced stats 4 games in is crazy.
Stats after 4 games aren't funny. They are useless. Let everyone at least play the majority of NBA teams once before we start doing this nonsense.

They're not useless... they're stats. You can use them any way you like. Or ignore them. This stat happens to put in a nutshell our first 4 games – we've played good teams, our half court defense has been bad, our half court offense slightly less so. And in light of these games, we look like one of the worst teams in the league (you CAN lose to good teams while still looking very competent, you know).
None of this was a surprise, or controversial. It is what it is. Doesn't have to mean much of anything, but it's interesting to get statistical proof for the results of your eye test.

More stats after 4 games.
For the record, Collins being that bad does NOT really corroborate with the eye test, but... I'll keep bowing to the altar of statistics. It's the honest approach.

It's hard to imagine a more useless stat than individual +/- in a tiny sample size.
The bolded bit is now bookmarked and I expect you to live by it.

This.
We started the season off against some of the best teams in the nba and played more games than most teams (little rest/practice) and were integrating a rookie into an unfinished and ever changing rotation and also trying to figure out what to do with collins, KO, and kessler.
Now we play some worse teams and chemistry and coaching are starting to come together. I have maintained that i think the jazz are a playoff team (though barely) all along and nothing has changed.

I think so, Memphis at the very least. Jazz weren't supposed to win tonight. Would have been nice if they were more competitive though.

Battle of the bads coming up against Memphis. A game worth watching to see who really is the worst team in the west

Memphis will be bad until Ja come back ( if he not carry a gun
).
Jazz can beat Chicago and Memphis again.

I think I like your chances Amigo!
Mr. Hopeless Optimist here thinking we might replicate our start of last season. At least I was smart enough not to bet the over on the Season Win Total again this season.
