Did We Just Jump OKC?
- Thread starter JazzyFresh
- Start date
OKC was cursed when they traded Harden. Its been a slow death from there. Sure they are one of the Wests best but with three all stars they should
have been counting the rings.
Now with Durant and Ibaka gone they are beatable. Still a good team, but we must taste the blood in the water. The Jazz have to man up and pass teams like Dallas, Memphis, and OKC.
GSW are already out of our league. This is about seasoning our team in the playoffs, and moving up the ranks. Then in two/three years maybe Durant is gone, maybe the Warriors arent quite as good as they are today. Great news for us moving forward.

OKC lost both Ibaka and KD, sorry I don't think they are improved. Memphis have two stars coming off serious injuries and Parsons knee could go at any time. Randolph is old. Will the be tough to be sure but I don't fear Memphis. I think we can beat them in a series.
The two teams are SA and GS and now that gap is wider.
We have a chance. The Thunder will still be good though. Westbrook is a star and will carry them. Oladipo, Adams, Kanter, Roberson, Sabonis, they are still a deep group. It's a battle between the us and them for first and second, Blazers third, Nuggets and Wolves a close fourth and fifth.
Yeah. Westbrook might average very close to a triple double for the season.
Westbrook is amazing. But as a team I'll take the Jazz. Durant and Ibaka are gone.

Never mind, finally figured out that there was a stipulation that the pick couldn't be conveyed until 2 years after PHI received the pick owed to them.

Russ also missed a lot of time that year
They have improved roster since then
Ibaka never been a guy that's going push teams over the edge. He is a very good role player.
Just wait I bet OKC if they keep Russ are better then your pathetic Jazz this year

Oh, I didn't know about the 2 yr stipulation. Damn, call it the Kanter curse. We're getting 2nds as RW will leave and OKC will rebuild.

Jazz are still fighting to make the playoffs. They can make the playoffs but some of yu are inbreeds and just assume Jazz now have a plyoff spot.. Teams like the Rockets who made it last year are fighting for that spot and they have a superstar, Utah doesn't
Minny is clearly a team who have 2 players better then anyone the Jazz have. Spurs just gained Gasol so they are a playoff team, OKC has a better coach then the Jazz and a superstar the Jazz do not.
Clippers are the clippers
Portland is going be better. I said it last year, was laughed at and proven tright at the end of the year.
Dallas is still going compete for a playoff berth.GSW,Spurs,Clippers,OKC, Minny, Blazers....that leaves 2 spots open and the Jazz are one of the two teams fighting for it but guess what other teams improve too. Denver is going fight for it, Houston, Dallas, Memphis who has a better starting core then the Jazz...
I am going laugh at all of you when the Jazz dotn make the playoffs agaion.. Adding George Hill and Joe Johnson is scaring off the rest of the nba I tell you
