After Golden State/San Antonio/Cleveland are there any teams that are clearly better than the Jazz?

OP asks a legit question. Let's just hope the pieces fit well.

Show you mine if you show me yours.

I've been trying all morning to get a pic, but the girth and length are just too large. Maybe I'll go buy a selfie stick later.

Minessota, Philadelphia and Milwaukee are the ones I would watch out for. Maybe not this season but next season or the one after that, but still.

And remember kids, if you ever use Jazzfanz App, use it safe.

I agree with this mostly. Well done. I probably have Toronto up a little higher (maybe tired with the jazz)
I think we have a shot at being better than the clippers and grizz but don't think it's likely.
That group of clipps, grizz, jazz, Toronto, Boston, atl, and porty are all somewhat interchangeable imo.

In before ncoloradojazz comes in here and calls us all homers and says the jazz suck and that most of the league is better than the jazz..... Basically trolls the hell out of this thread.
While the mods look the other way.

Exactly. Bring in Larry Johnson for a month long boot camp in August.

Maybe it's time for a Malone/Stockton boot camp.

My tier's:

Championship level (The only teams with a real shot):

Golden State
Cleveland

Borderline Championship level (These teams don't really have a shot to win it all, but will have a ton of regular season wins):
Toronto
San Antonio

Wrongly still think they are elite (Teams that can win 50 games but not contend for a title):

Los Angeles Clippers (Although I do think the Clippers probably fall back into the lower level)

The upper playoff teams (seeds 3-6. The good teams, but the not title teams. These are the 46-50 win teams):

Heat
Hawks
Celtics
Jazz
Memphis

Other potential playoff teams (Your 40-45 win teams):

Charlotte
Pacers
Blazers
Houston
Minnesota
New Orleans
Dallas
New York Knicks
Washington Wizards

The "can sneak into the borderline playoff teams with Westbrook"

Lakers - I don't see how he ends up anywhere else. Who would choose Boston over LA? That's crazy.

Then the rest are the crap.

Defence:
Hill
Exum
Hayward
Favors
Gobert

honestly, on paper, that group has a pretty fair chance at being the best defensive group in the league.

The problem is offense. Who scores in that group? Hayward isn't the best one on one guy. Hill is a very good role player. Favors and Gobert can't pass. Gobert has zero offensive game. Exum has zero offensive game (hopefully that changes). That lineup would get you to a 10-9 quarter.
