There always will be the talk about "winning and aiming at playoffs or tanking and positioning for lottery" -the latter is disgusting for the game and for the fans in my opinion-.
The Jazz should play to win ballgames, play hard and grind it out, and regardless of the results, the attention should still be on developing as a team, not on whether the team can make the playoffs or not. This is the best way to keep a young team focused, responsible, to offer quality -not garbage- PT for development and to get rookies, sophomores to earn PT, to play competitive basketball, to adjust to the next level, to the basketball culture that the Jazz want to sustain.
I'm not that concerned about our playoff chances, yet. Let's see where our team will be at the end of March. Making it to the playoffs would be a huge experience for this young squad. The schedule has been good to us, and will only get tougher and tougher.
I just want the Jazz to build on positives, learn from faults, losses, and take every game seriously in order for youngsters to play competitive basketball.
