Brilliant.
 
I think the Lakers are very beatable. I don't think there are any teams the Jazz simply cannot beat, but I'd like to avoid the Spurs until the WCF.
 
Seriously? Why are we even discussing this? It's not even halfway through the season and you want to discuss possible playoff implications and matchups? No.

No.
 
According to acronymfinder, here are a couple of possible interpretations of the acronym "WFC". I'm not yet deep enough into my analysis to have deducted which of the following actually have 2 rounds.

Weed Free Check (Possibly appropriate given the content and posters in this thread)
Winter Fluorine Conference (Everyone bought their tickets for this yet? Or are you holding out for the Summer Calcium Symposium?)
World Furniture Congress (Imagine the wild times)
Women For Change (I believe Katie belongs to this club -- not entirely sure)
Worcester Fencing Club (Sounds kind of messy. I stick to A1.)
Waluigi Fan Club (More of a Bowser fan myself)
Working for Change (I believe this is a fast food workers union)
Washington Flanders Club (Stupid Flanders)
Wings for Christ (This should dispel any notion that He's a vegetarian)
Washington Flute Circle (Rumor has it that they also do other shapes)
World Freak Center (official website: jazzfanz.com)
Wild Fish Carvings (Not clear if it's the fish that are wild or the carvings)
Waters Fraction Collector (Understand it collects denominators only. Extra charge for numerators)
Women Fuelwood Carriers (I'll handle my own wood, thanks.)
White Fish Collection (Racists)
Who the Fish Cares (Indeed. WFC?)

However, I think for the Jazz to become serious contenders to go all the way, they need some sort of major improvement. I am very impressed with a 4th place record so far, but 4th place seeds don't often win it all. You can't count on signing players like Gasol or Amare. The best chance of becoming a true contender is if they get amazing skills development out of some of the young players during the season. Guys like Hayward , Price , Miles, Fesenko, Watson, Evans. I am impressed with the bench contribution so far. I am impressed with how the Jazz have developed some players like Millsap and Matthews in the past. They need to see tranformative improvement from not just one, but about 3 of the young guys this year, and continued contribution from the vets. Against the odds, but not impossible.

Good points, but I just don't think there is enough potential there to make the Jazz true contenders. Or rather, the probability of 3 or 4 things happening is very, very slim. How long have we been hoping AK plays with passion - for a long stretch of games; that Fes becomes a defensive stopper; that CJ becomes a consistent shooter? Or maybe Bell regains his form from a few years ago? Okur comes back at 100%? Hayward looks promising. It only took him 30 games to have a few good ones, but let's hope he can keep it up.

The only real hope the Jazz have for contending is for KOC to get a starting wing or a solid 6th man. But I'm not holding my breath. I doubt the Millers want to trade AK and get back all or part of his salry in another long-term contract(s). Financially, it might make better sense just to let his contract expire. Or worse, give up other assets in order to save some luxury tax this season.
