Could we win the championship this year?

About... 4% chance according to fivethirtyeight.

Theoretically, yes. We're good enough offensively and elite defensively. We could win it this year. But things would have to go perfectly for us. We'd have to be at our best during the playoffs and maybe catch a few breaks with playoff matchups/Injuries on other teams. Realistically, probably not our time yet.
We have a really good complete roster right now.
We are just misses some bad ***. We aren't nasty enough for a ring run.
Lyles is soft as butter and has to go.

I think we lack an elite scorer and that is what holds us back from being able to win a title right now.

At one point not long ago the Jazz were 65:1 to win the Chip. According to Sportsbook.ag they're now 100:1...
Would love to see someone in here try to deconstruct how that came to pass.
they do seem like a damn good team for 100:1 tho... no doubt about it.

Winning a division has nothing to do with winning a championship, as the Spurs have shown a few times.
More important, it match-ups in the playoffs, health, etc. We got to the WC Finals with DWill and Booz due to some lucky matchups. Anything could happen. I think we have the pieces, they just aren't fully developed. We need Dante to learn to draw contact, we need the team to be healthy to jell, we need Rudy to keep developing, etc. And most importantly, Quin needs to learn to coach better.
I think the negativity is kind of silly- whomever is going to win the Championship, if they come from the West, they are going to have to pass through a serious gauntlet, though the #1 seed (Spurs/GS) will have a relative breather the 1st round (unless Nurkic continues to blow up.)
If Durant comes back fully healthy then they are the hefty favorites- If he doesn't then its wide open with the Jazz having a great shot. We match up well with all the other teams in the league, able to go big or small and have a good/great defense built for the playoffs. We are a grind it out team and have found our footing in close games- with Rudy's indefatigable will to win being the driving force.
100/1 is a stupid #- 25/1 or so would be the top # I think is realistic and that would be more like 12/1 if Durant doesn't come back for the playoffs or is still seriously hobbled.

I don't know who made that list but they are out of touch. I give us a much better chance than the Grizzlies or Clippers because of our elite defense. I don't think we'll win it this year looking at it realistically. It's most likely going to be the Warriors,Spurs or Cavs. But if somehow none of those three win it, it's probably us or the Rockets who do. Maybe the Raptors if healthy.

LOL - wrap your mind around this. If you took my best year % wise and divided it by 100 you'd be left with a # much higher than 19....
In my early days my bottom-line was 15% a month and I did with ease.
