Utah Jazz: Lack of practice time turns Jazz into 'The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight'

After Monday night's dreadful shooting performance in a preseason loss to Portland, Utah Jazz head coach Quin Snyder attributed much of his team's shortcomings on a severe lack of practice time since taking its preseason-opening trip to Hawaii.

“It's not surprising to me that we have hiccups. We were flat (Monday) night; we looked like we were jet-lagged. It's always kind of a delayed reaction going from West to East, with the four-hour time change, two days later. We were off, off, game, off, so in five days, one game, no practice and then (a game) last night.
