Jazz Notes:
The Utah Jazz and NBA by Ross Siler and Steve Luhm

 

Friday, April 27, 2007

Ten reasons ...
Ten reasons why I'm a little surprised the Jazz aren't down 3-0 in their series with the Rockets:

1. They are 7-for-41 on three-point shots.

2. Andrei Kirilenko has scored four points in 59 minutes.

3. They have been outrebounded in each of the first three games.

4. Memo Okur is averaging one field goal every 18 minutes.

5. They have shot 52 free throws, or 13 more than Yao Ming.

6. They have led at halftime of all three games, but average only 15 points in the third quarter.

7. They haven't scored over 90 points yet and average 82 points a game -- 19 less than their regular-season average.

8. Since halftime of Game 1, Deron Williams is 14-of-42 from the field.

9. Tracy McGrady's 4-for-4 start in Game 3, which should have propelled him toward a Kobe-like performance and the Rockets toward victory.

10. They are shooting 39.9 percent as a team, which happens when a team settles for too many jump shots.
