In no way shape or form are the Jazz an elite team. Those who say so have very low standards for the word elite

Is elite a bench mark of performance or a relative term?

So a better question might be do you think we're deserving of #six in the power rankings. Are we the 6th best team?

Pretty much no one predicted #2 seed.4th-5th seed in the west.
Should have been the expectation going in, not 2 seed like most this forum was predicting in the fall.

What the Jazz are lacking now, at least when Hill is not playing, is an elite PG. It seems whenever we play a team with one, like last night, or say Portland, the PGs destroy us. In the old days of the NBA, the dominant position was the center and the ability to rebound. Today with the emphasis on the 3-pt shot and speed, it's the PG and perimeter play. Most of this season we've been playing with below average PGs. The fact that Mack has played better than would be expected has helped boost our record. But with Dante playing way below the average PG, it has really hurt the Jazz. Look at last night, Lowry basically took over the game all by himself. We had no answer for him in the way Lillard has killed us in the past. Other elite teams have Steph, CP3, and Kyrie, plus other amazing perimeter players like KD, Crawford, and LeBron (actually more like an all-purpose PG at the forward position). When Hill gets back and Burks gets healthy we might move into the elite bracket. We shall see. It sure is pretty discouraging, how Dante has been playing. He definitely should go to the D-League to get back his confidence; he has so many weaknesses to overcome. I always think about Corbin when the Jazz should've tanked for Lillard. Imagine if the Jazz had gotten Lillard where they would be now.
Welcome back?
I see you're still exaggerating to make your points.
Yet you just make a post asking the forum to adjust their expectations?
2-3 seed was the consensus in late August September. ESPN was releasing their hype articles on the Jazz and everyone was high.
everyone? wtf are you talking about, exactly?
80% constitutes "everyone"
So you polled one person and .8 responded with #2 seed? By golly, the math checks out.80% constitutes "everyone"
