I have always thought that every sports league should just put the best teams in the playoffs regardless of division/conference.

A cool side effect of doing it that way would be possibly getting to see some of the biggest rivals in sports meet for a championship game.

Imagine a yankees vs redsox works series.

Chicago bears vs green bay packers in the superbowl.
Steelers vs bengals or ravens superbowl.

The way things are now, those games are impossible

Ya, but you were just screwing around. I legit picked 44

It's gonna happen.

Like gameface said though, Exum is gonna be killing us if he keeps playing like that. Probably gonna have to use a different back up points sometimes.

I'm not saying Exum is going to cost us games, I'm saying this young team isn't going to get a lot of calls going our way. That's what's gonna cost us games.

I'm excited to watch Exum develop. I didn't have a problem with the way he played last night. It's sort of what I think we should all be expecting out of him right now.
 
I love the feel for this Jazz team. It's amazing what a new coach can do. The team is playing so much better. As far as Utah's chances of making the playoffs? *cue up Vince McMahons old theme music* No chance. The west is way too deep. Spurs, OKC, Clippers are all gonna be at the very top. Then you have to consider Portland, Houston, Golden State are all gonna try to improve from last season. Memphis is still a threat and Phoenix is gonna improve. Not to mention New Orleans, Dallas. Even the Lakers are gonna be better.
Jazz will be better than last and will turn some heads. But the West is crazy deep
 
If we end up with more wins than the Lakers I will be happy.

I feel confident that we are better than Sacramento.

I'm not sure if we can get more wins than any other team in the west. Maybe Minnesota, maybe Denver.
 
play offs baby!
INEVITABLE!

Hell I was very happy with exum last night.
The two things I was most worried about were his outside shot and hood stamina.

Both looked good last night imo

I picked the jazz to win 37 games a few months ago.... I'm bumping that up to 41 games.

No playoffs though.

I will be super excited if we are in the playoff hunt come March though

I also picked them to win 37-38 a few months ago, and am holding strong on that prediction. If some things go wrong, it could be low 30's and I'll be disappointed. If some things go right, then I think low 40's and in the playoff hunt could happen... but things would have to fall just right (in terms of player development, etc.).
 
Holy ****


Cue the disappointment. Srs some of you guys are going to need medication by the end of the season. Playoffs? Unless half the WC players contract Ebola it ain't gunna happen.

Before preseason I said 27 or 28(can't remember which). I didn't think quin would be able to implement his system this quickly. I'm really impressed. Having seen preseason I think we could win 32.
 
I love the fact that the play-offs option getting more votes than the cheese option.
 
The jazz have a chance at the eighth seat...but that's about it.

Pacers/Bulls finals in the 90's.
Lakers/Spurs finals. Or even Lakers/Jazz finals back in the 90's.
Miami/Boston finals.

Could be interesting.
 
Sorry but, I'll bump this thread every game the Jazz make me hyped and give me hope.

This one might be a lost game but it sure made me both hyped and hopeful.
 
We can win in the 30s if we keep playing well.

Playoffs are going to need 45-48 wins for the 8th seed this year.

Its not happening.
 
BUMP!

So far, so good.

I think we played well against Houston which I believe a very good team. I watched the Mavs team against good Pelicans before the Jazz game and I think they are even better than the Rockets so I'm not so upset with our loss against them either.

And we absolutely destroyed the Suns tonight with a very good overall team performance. So I'm very happy with our current 1-2 record. We will win a lot of home games this season, if we can add some road victories to that, I believe we really can finish around 40 wins.
