You were probably being sarcastic, but I was waiting for someone to mention Corbin. As much as his starting lineup blows, he must have some coaching skills that fans are hesitant to recognize.
I can't think of many.
Supposedly he's doing a beautiful job managing potential player tension (Locke, every day). Maybe he runs awesome practices. I have noticed that when something goes wrong in a game, the team is more prepared for it the next game. For example, I believe it was against Miami that the Jazz were having trouble dribbling up the court against pressure. The next game the point guard had all sorts of screens to help out. Also, no team has been able to so effectively double Al with their point guard since the Houston game. Who knows.DutchJazzer

Unlike every other fan, I believe in Coach Corbin thus no sarcasm in my post.
I didnt read any other previous posts & was shocked that no one even mention Ty!!

We're 22-7 against teams under .500. We're 8-17 against teams above .500.
So, we've played 4 more games against sub .500 teams. We are currently 6 games above .500.
I'll go with a favorable schedule, the first month of the year notwithstanding.

This is it, really.
The lineup that really has seemed dominant to me lately is:
Burks/Carroll/Millsap/Favors/Kanter
Almost every team that gets that lineup against reserves gets absolutely torched.
Great defense most of the time too, with Favors and Carroll along with Kanter out there. What are we rated in terms of overall differential?
I didn't say they dominate offensively, did I? They are an elite defensive group and they use that to outscore the other team pretty significantly
6th it appears. I think we'd easily have the best bench if one or two players get enough minutes to develop offensively.
6th is pretty good. Honestly, for a team that's only 30-24 I'm a little surprised we're quite that high.
We are a win tomorrow from being 6th seed.
If we were in the Eastern Conference we would actually have a feasible shot at the 3rd seed.
Did you consider the no. of road games played in the first 2 months or so?
Homecourt is huge. Jazz or the Nuggets may have the best HC in the league. Elevation is a part of it, but also because both teams get teams coming off of a back to back from the other city a lot, and because both cities are just so geographically isolated from the rest of the league. Plus the DC gets nice and loud too. It was built very well for hoops.

I'll agree with carolinajazz here. The home advantage sure benefits the Jazz as always but in this season, the Jazz are also just a little bit below the pretty decent line as for the road record since they have won 1 of 3.
So two years in a row of over-achieving is luck?
