Just ahead of the Lebron-abandoned Cavaliers (huh?) and just behind the former home of the Jazz, New Orleans.

Utah might be underrated here. Denver in the top 5? Spurs in the top 10? Really?

BR puts Lakers #1 ahead of the Miami LeBrons. ("To be the best, you have to beat the best.")

"The Jazz have already lost their biggest free agent and the best player on their team [NOT!] from a year ago with Carlos Boozer off to Chicago. It looks like Kyle Korver is on his way out as well.

Utah still has Deron Williams, Mehmet Okur, Paul Millsap, and Andrei Kirilenko, as well as some good young pieces in C.J. Miles, Kyrylo Fesenko and now Gordon Hayward though.

That's a better roster than most of the NBA even without the All-Star presense [sic] Boozer brings to the table."

I really do not understand why the media keeps picking NO over the Jazz. We own them.

Yet he ranks us ahead of only 14 teams which is less than half....yawn, bleacherreport, where even modern day math is disregarded.
 
I wouldn't put NO ahead of Utah, but somewhere in the 12-16 range is where the Jazz belong at this point. We'll probably be fighting for a 6th-8th seed right up to the trade deadline.
And that's o.k. - as long as the Jazz do something to improve the team at teh deadline. I don't see the Jazz using their TPE's or trading AK iuntil then. No one is desperate right now. But some GM's from non-contenders will get mandates from their owners to cut salary at the deadline. That's when the Jazz can move in. Keep payroll light right now, then start a bidding war between 3-4 teams for the rights to send us a good vet + picks for AK's expiring or Harp's TPE or Boozer's. Of course, we dumped Harp early on, so we need to use that up before the deadline.

I can understand the displaced and agitated ewok in your signature image, but who's the kid ?
