Early prediction for me is 33-49, which won't be last in the west. Jazz will still be good at home. 22-19.

Wow.. that's pretty optimistic..

Jazz were 18-23 at home the year they went 26-56. They're a better team than that one, provided a healthy season. Five more home wins and two more road wins than that team really doesn't seem optimistic to me.

Maybe. I'm just saying orange is the first person to agree that there's a reasonable chance that we're worse than Phoenix.

I don't see us below Phoenix. But honestly, if we wound up with Wiggins, I wouldn't care if GS won a championship and gave us the #30 pick.

I see our situation as fairly comparable to Portland last year. We won't have a dynamic ROY like Liillard, but we also won't have a major weakness at the 5. Benches are similar: very weak. Portland won 33 games last season. I could see the Jazz winning 20-22 games at home and 11-13 on the road. I'm hoping for worse so we end up with a top-7 pick and not in the 9-12 range.
I don't think we can say we're a better team straight off the bat.
- I remembered Al bailing us out numerous times at the end of several games last season??
- When Al's shots weren't falling, Millsap was bailing us out too...
- This year we'll be relying solely on Favors & Kanter who are unknown quantity at this stage against legit starting bigs in the West...
- Burke at the point is also very shaky IMO... Mo bailed us out many times last season plus it took Kemba 2 seasons before he became a legit starter..
==============================
In conclusions, while we'll learning how to jog, other teams would already be running...

If we're not going to be the 15th team in the West, we will be the 14th team.

It would be poetic justice.
And Harrison Barnes got sick of playing behind Iggy & Thompson and asked for trade..... LOL
No way we are worst than the Suns or Kings.
The Kings have quietly put together a nice / balanced roster:
- Signed Landry, he alone should add 5 more wins to the total from last year.
- Vasguez running the point is gonna give them some stability and togetherness
- McLemore is no slouch.. I think add at least 2-3 games to the win total
- Losing Tyreke, I don't think he was a big factor last year anyway...
They still have a hanging cloud of dysfunction that is Cousins though.

We are going to be this years Trailblazers
Vasquez should really help with this IMO. He's gonna be feeding him plenty of easy shots down low to keep him happy... no more hero ball from Tyreke/Cousins/Thomas and Co.

11th seems to be about right to me, just easily.
But despite the tank, do not UNDERESTIMATE the dynamic duo of Favors/Kanter
add to the mix a PG, a young one yeah, who has the talent to feed them.
Corbin may fail this year.
This he does by setting the priorities of this team right this time, and BAM; "say hi to play-offs!"
I still believe Jazz are good than advertised, even in the Chinese year of the Tank!
