jazz are number 14:

Utah (8-4)
Pace: 93.9 (17), Off: 100.3 (14), Def: 99.6 (13)
Considering how awful the Jazz were at the end of last season and how weak (and home-heavy) their early schedule was, it was easy to be skeptical about their 7-4 start. But Sunday's win in Denver was pretty convincing. The home-heaviness continues with seven of their next eight at EnergySolutions Arena.

Yeah I saw those this morning and expected a higher jump, but looking at the teams ahead of them it'd be tough to vault over any of them.

Comments seem about right to me.

Favorable early schedule or not, no one had this Jazz winning seven of eight in any stretch this season ... or getting this much out of Big Al and Millsap. But that's what they've done in 2012. As Raja Bell says: "8-4 is 8-4. You can't argue with that."
