I got to thinking about the Jazz record and decided to look at the competition in their division. After looking at our divisional rivals rosters, I was pretty excited about the future and this season.
I certainly think the Jazz can hold their own with teams in the division. I am not that impressed with Denver and Portland. Jazz are not going to get swept this year by either of these teams and can be very competitive against them.
Recently we haven't played the greatest against T-Wolves except for the last game of the year (Ugh!) but they are just as young as we are. I think the Jazz and T-Wolves will be battle for the division title in a few years.
OKC is still at the top of the division as long as they have KD and Westbrook but their bench isn't as strong as it was and the Jazz have played them pretty tough at times.
Do I think the Jazz can win the division? NO! but I think they can be more competitive and they certainly have a chance to not to finish last. The Western Conference is brutal and getting better so any hope of the playoffs this year is out of the question but I think baby steps will be taken and the Jazz will finish third in the division. Thoughts?
