I believe greater expectations will equal more wins. Last year the league's analysis of the last two minute of each game showed the jazz received more erroneous calls than any other team. It was not even close. the jazz got jobbed by the refs last year at a historical level. From my perspective, the jazz received terrible calls throughout the entire game not just the last couple of minutes. I suspect the refs simply thought the jazz were supposed to lose so they made bad call after bad call against the jazz.
However, the Jazz are finally receiving some very good press and expectations are sky high. I hope that translates into more respect from the refs and less questionable calls. It would be nice to be on the favorable end of whistle for once, especially after last year.
