What's new

Utah is now a top 15 team according to Hollinger's power rankings

What's Utahs record the last 25% of their games with a +5.0 scoring margin?

Not sure this is how ESPN does it but I totled up the Jazz record to date (23+35=58) and divided by 4 = 14.5 so I took the last 15 games.

The Jazz record over that time is 8-7

Wins against the Bucks, Nuggets, Spurs, Blazers, Pelicans, Kings, Warriors and Nets.

Loses against the Lakers, Mavs, Suns, Grizzlies, Blazers, Clips and Celtics.

Jazz are 6-4 in the last 10.
 
If we take the season in 15 game chunks, we have been:

5-10
5-10
6-9
7-6

Not too bad. I'm so pumped for the rest of the season. It's been before Al got here that I've been this excited for Jazz basketball.
 
The progress made this season is way way beyond my expectations. I expected improvement but modest and with a similar record. QS: what a coach. What defense. And unlike the Jazz of all these years, including Sloan, they are doing it without fouling. Exum showing signs of life, oh my. Add a good piece and next year they WILL make the playoffs, and could be above 8 seed.

With an improved Dante and a healthy Burks this team will be even more formidable!

And that's just it. It won't be only then that come back improved. Good, Gobert, Burke...hell even Favors and Hayward are still young to very young and improving.

So high on this team.

Me too! At this time last year though I was honestly just depressed about the team. They finished the season so badly.
 
Not since the finals runs has this team been more exciting to follow. So pumped for the future of this team. Imo if you are not pumped for this team right now you'll never will be or are not a Jazz fan.

The future is bright in JazzLand! :D
 
the NBA should just let Hollinger's power rankings at the end of the season determine who goes to the playoffs and the seeds. I wonder if the league could push that through between now and April.

ha!

In all seriousness though...if the league goes to the top 16 teams make the playoffs then that dramatically increases the Jazz odds of making the playoffs.
