Could we win the championship this year?

[str8line]

If we were to somehow miraculously get 100% healthy by all-star break could we beat the Warriors/Spurs/Clips/Cavaliers in a series?

 

[Game6Conley]

No. This season is about going thru the motions, not actually competing.


Even in the unlikely event they get thru the west they aren't stopping the Cavs in the finals.

About... 4% chance according to fivethirtyeight.

 

[Game6Conley]

4% LOL.

If you believe that I have a bridge in brooklyn I can sell you for just 50 grand cash. You can set up tolls and make your money back in no time.

Yes, we could. But don't conflate that with we're going to win the championship.

If the Warriors get hurt and we miraculously get everybody back, sure.

But it'd take one hell of a playoff run to get past GSW (even if injured), San Antonio, Clippers, and Houston, and then beating LeBron in the Finals.

I'm gonna say no. But I think we get put on that radar next season if we can retain everybody.

Lol on one side of the extreme end, I see a thread arguing to get rid of Exum, our only shot at even having a chance at a championship run. And that's if he pans out which is now very unlikely given how many minutes he plays under Snyder.

And now on the other side of the extreme, I see this thread lol. We probably won't even be able to retain Hayward, let alone be a championship contender. But yeah, I guess it's better to dream about this to rationalize wasting time watching so many Jazz games.

4% LOL.

You think 4% is too high?

Any team could, but it would take some serious luck. In all reality we would need to have someone else beat the warriors and then matchup with the spurs/clippers in the WCF, and even GETTING to WCF is going to be tough.

For the Jazz to have a legit shot it would take the following
1 - Fully healthy team, as mentioned by the OP
2 - Warriors losing in the second round.
3 - Getting lucky with an injury or two on the opposing teams in the second round and WCF
4 - Cavs either get upset or seriously banged up in their playoff run, highly unlikely.

I would love to see it but I doubt it will happen. Fun to think about though

Short answer, Yes. Long answer, nope.

This is the real answer. If the jazz got 100% healthy and stayed 100% healthy all year and curry, durant, and lebron got injured then i think we would have a decent shot.
