Is This Team Good?

[Siro]

I figure in about 2 years we will be one of a handful (4 or 5) of teams with a legit shot at a title. Warriors should look a bit different by then but will probably still be the favorites. Lebron should be finally declining by then. We should be nearing our peak. Cant wait.
Nice to have jingles, mitchell, gobert, Royce oneal all signed up to that point. Good looking core and all should continue to improve through 2019 and then you add the fact that we should have lots of money to spend around that time as well and dudes gonna be chomping at the bit to play with mitchell/gobert and for coach snyder.

That's an eternity. No way to know what will happen in 5 years. We had DWill about that long ago.

Notice how no matter who is out, DM45.... Gobert.... Rubio.... we don't skip a beat. Everyone take a moment to praise to our coaching!

The players. They have bought in.

We really did struggle when Gobert was out. This current winning streak began just after he got back.

That is true... but there were also those saying look how good Favors is playing at the 5 - trade Gobert

I said 2 years rather than 5, but its still a ways off. Nice to know that 4 of our best players right now will still be under contract though.

Not better then Denver. Denver has Injuries To one of their best Players so You think A Zhealthy Jazz team better tThen A Healthy Nuggets Team? Utah Has ONE Legit Star. Mitchell. Gobert Pppleassse. 10years Ago he would of bern a star But he hAs No Offense amd Is a shotblocker on a league That Hoist up jumpers at A crazy rate.

Dude
Anyone can get torched by a team on fire from deep.

But you better be able to do that all the time.

Teams still try to make hay in the paint. (The ideal shot dispersal is three or dunk.) With the stifle tower in the lane, our perimeter defenders can be aggressive. You better hit the contested 3, or you are going home with the L. Since Rudy 's return, we have been dominant because we are crushing souls. Look at the game tape from some of the games over the streak. What you see are heads hanging, shoulders slumped, and post game news conferences that offer some version of this, "well we gave it our all, but they kicked our cans. There was nothing more we could have done. Thanks for listening, now you'll have to excuse me I'm going to go, a. to the bar, b. home to momma, c. back to the drawing board. "

DL and QS have put together a team of very good defenders. There is not a single player I can think of who is average or below average which is really amazing. It comes natural to them individually, and as a group it's only going to get better.

Burks says hi! He's gotten better on defense, but he's still far below average.

CBS Sports has us at #4 in its power rankings. That's pretty cool.

ESPN has us at 15 jumping a whopping 2 spots since last week.

Smh

Burks played okay last night but I am guessing when Exum gets back he will get a lot of DNPs unless its a blowout or guys are out for the game.

There was a really important series of possessions when Utah was down 11, Burks came in and hit a three and another field goal, for a little 5-0 run.

He also didn't play the 2nd half iirc.

 

[NAOS]

Yeah, I know you are in the doubters club.

Wrong. I'm just not lined up to tug him off like some of you.

It's so weird to me that paying attention to plain facts is so offensive to some. Always has.

I think it's something like 21 of the last 26 games on the schedule the Jazz are the favorites.

If this is true we will be competing for the 4 seed and have a legit shot of competing for the 3 seed. The table below shows how many wins the Jazz need to overtake each team if those teams continue winning at their current win percentages. The second column is the maximum number of losses the Jazz could have the rest of the way. The last column is the winning percentage the Jazz would need to overtake each rival:

Team Wins needed max loss % needed
Warriors 35 -9 134.62%
Rockets 35 -9 134.62%
Spurs 23 3 88.46%
Wolves 21 5 80.77%
Thunder 19 7 73.08%
Trail Blazers 17 9 65.38%
Nuggets 17 9 65.38%
Pelicans 16 10 61.54%
Clippers 16 10 61.54%

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for 134.62% winning the rest of the way.

I expect absolutely nothing from Exum until I see different during an actual live regular season basketball game.

I expect him to get minutes because of defense

 

[NUMBERICA]

I expect him to get minutes because of defense

Over who?

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

Over who?

I think he will dip into a few players mins. The jazz will want to develop him and figure out his value as it's a contract year

Over who?

He'll get minutes from Neto, Burks, Ingles a little bit, Rubio maybe a little bit. I don't think either Burks or Neto will play if Exum is healthy.

 

[NUMBERICA]

My guess is Exum will not play as well as Neto, and he's not taking one bit of Ingles' minutes. This isn't 2014.

I hope he plays well.
