SLC Punks is an NBA podcast brought to you by SLC Dunk the Utah Jazz affiliate of SB Nation. Every week Mychal Lowman and James Hansen discuss features from SLC Dunk and also discuss the different headlines around the NBA.

On this episode of the SLC Punks podcast we commiserate over the current state of the Utah Jazz. Having lost 5 of their last 6 and performing much worse than expected, the Jazz have been a disappointment so far this season. So what exactly is going wrong? Is this just a difficult schedule or something more?

In what ways can Donovan Mitchell and the rest of the team improve? Is this a Quin Snyder problem, the team, a combination of both? We take a look at the Jazz rankings in multiple areas like shot selection, defensive rating, offensive rating and, long story short, it’s not good right now.

But is everything going downhill? Listen to find out!
