Jazz are coasting and have been for awhile. It's hard to concentrate on regular season when they know it doesn't matter, they have to prove themselves in the playoffs. Good for them staying focused enough to keep the #1 seed though and I hope they can through the rest.
But, they are going to play a lot better when the playoffs roll around. Effort will be much higher. The defense, the rebounding, the shot selection, and many other aspects will be much improved from what we are seeing lately. My only concern is them getting cold and panicking. Other than that the only thing that can beat us is a player or two like LeBron going next level and taking completely over a series. But even then, I think Mitchell and even possibly Gobert might be able to match some of that and our depth and multiple options can overcome that.
