  (Photo by Juan Ocampo/NBAE via Getty Images) | NBAE via Getty Images I distinctly remember the 2022-23 Utah Jazz, the first season for current Head Coach Will Hardy, starting out the season 10-3, with Lauri Markkanen and Jordan Clarkson leading the recently blown-up roster that, for the first time in half a decade, did not feature Donovan Mitchell or Rudy Gobert.

The Spurs found themselves down 20 against Chicago in the first half, allowing the Bulls to shoot 66% from the field. But San Antonio completely flipped the script in the second half, outscoring the Bulls 68-49. The Spurs couldn’t get much of anything going offensively in the first half. De’Aaron Fox and Victor Wembanyama were the lone bright spots, carrying the offensive load. .@swipathefox in attack

  Okay, now I’m worried. The Wizards went to Indiana and got thumped by a Tyrese Haliburton-less Pacers team. It’s Washington’s fifth straight loss — and four of the five have been by 10 points or more.If you want to stick to the “it’s early” and “they’re finding their way and they’ll improve as the season goes on” talking points, you’ll probably want to skip a few paragraphs. Because I did some looking up and some numbers crunching, and…well…it’s not as early as you
