The Utah Jazz out of Balance

Whats up with the Jazz? They have lost 10 out of their last 14 games and 3 straight. Simply they are out of balance. They only played with 9 players the last 2 games and Deron Williams is still struggling with a nagging wrist injury that is effecting his play. Mentally they have not focused well lately. Way to many turnovers and defensive breakdowns. Emotionally it has been a roller coaster from losing there head coach of 23 years   Jerry Sloan to losing way more than they are used to. And spiritually they are being challenged with a change of philosophy with new head coach Tyrone Corbin. Maybe the All-Star break is the answer. To rest weary bodies and refocus their efforts. Only time will tell but it is critical to re balance themselves. They need to get healthy and play to solid basketball that they've played for two-thirds of the season. All of the players have to contribute from Williams to Fesenko. All 12 members of the team must contribute for the team to re balance itself.They might not win the NBA championship this year but they are setting up a foundation for future seasons. Or are they going backwards towards mediocrity? The players will decide they always do. One thing is for sure they will not succeed without being balanced.
