You heard it here first!

This Jazz team will lose 30+ road games and lose 10+ home games which means they will play about .500 ball and possibly sneak into the 8th seed and get there butts handed to them in the first round again. Your thoughts?

My thoughts are that right now the Jazz have played 4 games, 3 of them against teams that finished above them last year record wise. 2 of them on the road. I'm not going to judge this team right now after 4 games. esp with the schedule they have to start the season

I'll just bookmark this thread and refer back to it if you're totally wrong.

...the chances of me being totally wrong on this are about as great as someone breaking Stockton's assist and steals career totals!

I don't think it's as ridiculous as others here, for sure .. but I do think you're hating a bit strongly.

...we have lost to two chump teams and have played poorly in 3 of the 4 games. We still can't shoot, we turn the ball over way too much and our assist totals are pathetically low. This is a .500 team at best.

Well in all fairness its sort of a new team. It has new parts and a new strategy. It does take time to gel. Especially for a group of guys that arent superstars, and rely on rehearsed team play. Even new teams with stars coming aboard take time. Take a look at the Lakers this year and the Heat their first year. Its also a relatively young team. Young teams dont fair well on the road.

We have started off bad, but I think we will find our groove as soon as we hit a home stretch and we gain some confidence as a team. I think we will be better than last year too. But we will have times like this during the season. It can be frustrating with big Al too, because I think he just gets in the way. There is hope still we make a move.

So you're saying either the Spurs or Grizzlies are a chump team? Wrong.
