So with the Jazz starting off 8-4 (likely NO ONE thought we would play as well as we are), what are your adjusted win totals for this season?
 
33-33 - Sticking with my prediction. Still think that Feb/March will be rough and things will even out.

Remember the unreal road trip last year? Things can change at anytime.

It is almost like a womans menstral cycle - things are going great and BAM - for 1 week it sucks and you want to kill yourself as a spouse... then the next week things are great again!
 
By the way... I realize I screwed up the pole a little bit... my bad.

Thanks for the responses so far.

I agree... things will even out. But if we can learn to win on the road consistently, I might be pushed to an over .500 record prediction.
 
All I know is that after the first two games I was hoping they could win one sometime. I was thinking I needed to crash the Zions BB center and do a demo on street ball. The other guy has the ball? Go get it. You have the ball? take it home. well, to the hoop. What's this standing speechless while the opponent moseys by to their basket, or while they steal you blind. . . . or throwing the ball away whenver you do get it?

OK. So now I'm saying someone else gave them the demo.

40+.
 
I predicted 40 wins before the season due to the depth of talent. With the tight schedule a lot of teams are going to have 5-6 game slumps when one guy goes down, and the lack of conditioning makes it especially tough on guys that are a little older.

The fact that AJ worked on his body the way he clearly did is paying off big time. Sap of course always works like a dog all summer but is still surprising. Corbin is doing a superb job with rotations and especially improving the team defense. Josh Howard and Enes Kanter are both playing better than almost anybody thought they would.

I would think it's pretty reasonbable to expect this team to improve over the season, yet still struggle on the road a little. I still see 40 wins.
 
I said 27-39 and I must admit so far they have done way better then I expected. I still do not think they will end up above .500 but 30-33 wins looks very possible.
 
Less than 30. Enjoy January, come February, real basketball will begin. The Jazz have a TON of time off right now, and are playing most of their games at home. I think in February the Jazz play like 13 of 17 on the road. Before you gloat, I would wait and see what happens there.

This team is a three game losing streak from imploding. There are still too many players playing, players worried about minutes, etc. That all gets swept under the rug when you win. If Utah has a four game losing streak, you will start to hear about who is getting too many/not enough minutes etc.
