This team is too good from top to bottom to finish less then third maybe second. Big jumps from Gobert hood and Exum. Then add the three new guys
ESPN predicts Jazz finish 5th.
- Thread starter MrMojoRisin
- Start date
Just make the ****ing playoffs.

Really? I feel like the only good players they have are AD and Jrue Holiday. (both of whom struggle with injuries)

I'm not saying they'll be great. But, if they're moderately healthy, they should be in the playoff hunt. IMO.

Agreed. That's probably how I have it too
I don't get how Portland is there. After their poor-man's version of the splash brothers and good management, what's there?
Scratch that, they also have EVAN MOTHER****ING TURNER!!! Look out. So they're spending $20 mil a year on a guy that will be creating a logjam unless they play him as a three, which would make both of their wings undersized.

Seems fair... everything depends on injuries and some of the teams like Dallas and Memphis are more susceptible to injuries because of lack of depth and age. I think 4-6 is likely for the Jazz... below that is slightly disappointing... above that is amazeballs.

They have depth and a couple flame throwers... they also have a good mix of guys that can alternate between positions. They also have a great coach. They are legit, but I see their range as 46-54 wins.

Are you saying that after all of your drama you are once again a Jazz fan? Shocker.
I warned before hand and plenty of times in the middle that that was all satire. That you all ran with it so long is smdh.

I missed your warnings. Seems like pointless satire, but whatever floats your boat.
They have a pretty good team. I think they handicapped their future ceiling with bad contracts but they should be pretty good this year.

I'm actually not even trashing their backcourt, but besides them, who are these "flame-throwers"?
Meyers Leonard looks like a giant toddler and/or male stripper.....
That's all I got.
Well he said couple, so I think he was just talking about the same two you are.
Crabbe and Aminu can throw some flames from deep though.

I think overall Portland overachieved last year and I expect a fall off of some sort but that is probably unfair speculation.

They have 2 good guards (Lillard, McCollum) 2 overpaid backup wings (Turner, Crabbe) 2 hustle guys who are hit and miss shooters (Harkless, Aminu) and 3 backup post defenders (Ezeli, Plumlee, Davis) and a 7 footer who is worse than Kanter at defense, rebounding and offense but can shoot 3's (Leonard). They have a team good enough to make the playoffs, but not make any real noise, and they have completely hamstrung themselves with contracts of 70 million per year between 4 players with only 3 being backups/borderline starters.
