The Utah Jazz allowed the 6th best offensive performance of the season last night to the New Orleans Pelicans. The Jazz simply didn't play hard enough according to head coach Will Hardy. How does this happen? David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA Insider, goes back to his favorite major league baseball player Kirby Puckett and without a Kirby Puckett nights like last night can happen.

Keyonte George is going through the ups and down of a rookie year, but if you look at the 20 game increments you can see progress from the 20 year old rookie out of Baylor. Locke breaks the season into 4 20 game stretches and thinks the 1st and the 3rd will be the toughest.

The Utah Jazz offense continues to be outstanding as the 5th best offensive in the NBA over the last 15 games. How are they doing it? It is not with great three point shooting. It is a bit old school getting to the line and finishing at hte rim.
