Anyone see what Zach Lowe wrote about the Jazz?

1. The Utah Jazz defense, on a string

Umm, so, Utah has won 20 of 21 -- with 18 (!) of those wins coming by at least 10 points. That is historic (regular-season) dominance.

Most of the adulation has gone to the offense -- a meld of individual brilliance and Quin Snyder's whirring "advantage basketball" system. But you don't win that many games by that many points without being great at everything, and Utah is up to No. 2 in points allowed per possession -- defending with the same synchrony that powers their offense.

(edit by mod - sorry. posting content that is behind a paywall for the majority of the audience is a slippery slope for us.)

Zach is one of the national guys who does his homework and who pays attention to the entire league. Always some insights. Nice to have him writing about the Jazz
 
It doesn't mean Utah will win the title, or even make the conference finals. They don't have great one-on-one defenders around Gobert -- no vice-grip wing. But the Jazz have arrived.
This is the part that has worried me all season.

All that praise and then covers his *** by saying it doesn't mean Utah will win the title, or even make the conference finals. Straight-up heresy.
