Not as bad as we thought?

Utah still hasn't proven anything. All 4 wins have been at home, in which 3 of those wins were against teams with injured star players.

Still haven't won anything on the road, or even been had any reason to be excited about road play yet. Even if we win tonight, it'll be against yet another team with an injured star.

Don't get me wrong though, the Utah Jazz of the first 3 games has been a completely different team than the Utah Jazz of the last 3 games. We've improved in every aspect of the game, and our young guys have me more excited than ever.

I just think we still have plenty of time for a bad season. The March Meltdown will be hard to watch.

But who knows-- we still have a chance at a good run. I just hope we don't get to the playoffs based on pure luck (playing injured teams) and getting clobbered in the first round, and losing our draft pick because of it.

I think this beating teams without their stars thing is getting kind of overblown at this point. The players they have been missing have been stars, so-to-speak, but none have been in the super-star echelon. Basically, akin to teams playing us without Al Jefferson. It's not like we were playing Lakers without Kobe, OKC without Durant, Miami without Lebron/Wade...

It could be overblown, but it's still there. Its hard to ignore.
