On a scale of 1-10, how excited are you for this season?

Yeah, like I assumed anyone who post on JFC would be at a 10. I mean, we post on a jazz forum in the off-season.

For some people, like me, using 10 on a scale of 1-10 is dumb.

So you wouldn't get more excited if tomorrow they announced Durrant was joining the team? Obviously you couldn't get more excited, you're already as excited as anyone could ever possibly be, you rated you excitement level at 10.

I'd say in this context 5 would be the average excitement level of the average person on Jazzfanz. Most years most of us have an excitement level of 5. A 6 would be above average excitement, a 7 would be very above average excitement, 8 would be extremely excited (like once in a decade level), 9 would be anticipation of the greatest Jazz season in a generation. A 10 would mean that you expect the Jazz to be the best team in the history of basketball and to take the NBA by storm.

Anyway, go ahead and use the scale like so many do, 90% of the time you're gonna pick the number 9, 10 or 1.

Yeah. I'm basically equally excited every year, even when we sucked.

7-8. Live out of state and work evenings, so I don't get to see to many games, otherwise it would probably be a 9. I haven't been at a 10 for any sports besides college football since I was in my 20's (5 years or so).
 
I am a ten every year but that number can go down to 3 o4 depending how the team does. Right now I am excited for summer league to start. I want to see the new picks and I want to see if Lyles has improved.'

My excitement might go beyond a ten once I see if Dante is healthy and playing aggressively.

Now if we sign a few free agents that can help this team compete in the playoffs I might need to go to the hospital.
 
I worried about our expectations last year. Everyone raved about Gobert, our defense, blah, bla, blah. Seemed like we were being hyped too much for a team who had proven nothing. It's tough as players not to let that get to your head.

Now fast forward one year. There is not that same public lovefest. But for me, Gobert wasn't right last year and I presume will be this season. We get Exum back at what I expect to be 100% and am thrilled after how he looked in one SL game a year ago. We get Burks back. We add a legit vet and stabalizing presence in George Hill. Hopefully Favors plays a whole season. I like Bolomboy's upside a lot. FA is still looming.

Seriously, I'm at an 11 and would legit bet 25K on this team to win more than 43.0 wins which is what I think Vegas will put us at.

Yep, kind of reminds me of this xkcd comic:
