Looking at the 6 teams the jazz have played so far, just how good are the jazz really?

Per Sagarin:

5th toughest schedule in the NBA.

5th best team in the NBA, behind Warriors, Raptors, Bucks and Nuggets.

Feels about right.
 
Funny fact. Jazz are the only team in the West unbeaten on the road ( only other team in all NBA is Bucks) . There are also only two teams in the West without a single win at home - Jazz and Rockets .

I was making that comment last week that the Jazz might be the last team to get a home win for the season (last year they were the last team to get a win on the road is why it was on my mind) and looked it up today and the 1 other team is in the East, WAS is also 0-2 at home.

HOU is 0-4 at home so that means they've had a home heavy schedule and as such are about to go on a road trip so they won't have a home game before the Jazz. WAS has one on Friday against OKC and another against NYK, so I would guess they get 1 of those 2. So it delights my heart to say HOU might be the last team to win a road game, although if the Jazz don't win Friday against MEM their next home game is TOR and that won't be easy and the next home game after that is DAL, which would be their easiest home game (also their easiest game overall of the season thus far IMO since HOU was on the road).

Which speaks to the Jazz' strength of the schedule so far.
 
After 7 games we know that we have not beat a good team at full strength and we have two horrible losses - the kind that kill you at the end of the season when each game matters. Getting beat by the Pups without Butler and JT as well as getting worked by Memphis at home is inexcusable.

The memphis game was a pretty bad loss and the jazz played like crap. They are actually playing pretty well this year though and are not as bad a team as most people thought they were.
The timberwolves game was on the road and they were just on fire and we barely lost. I dont think that loss was all that bad.
 
I still have faith in this team. However, we can't be a scared little wannabe and not make a risky trade. If we just let Burks, Rubio and Favors expire and not get aggressive with our picks, we deserve mediocrity.

Every single contender has a roster who has benefited by an aggrssive trade. Every one.

Just as bad as the Memphis loss in my book. How do you get beat with Butler and JT out?
 
It's going to be a long season if people are already starting to doubt this team. The win against Sacramento is looking better every day, I think that could be a 40ish win team, we just finished a 3-1 road trip, and y'all are worried? You'd think people would have learned something from last year...
