Jazz may be facing GS in the FIRST round. Sure wish we were a young, exciting team like the Nuggets. On the bright side, DL will either be forced to make a trade or acknowledge the rebuild has been a failure. KOC's strategy of retooling would have resulted in a lineup of Hayward, Millsap, Gobert, DMC and Hill or a different vet PG. We would have made the playoffs every year. We would not have Exum. And we wouldn't have been able to trade up for Burke (no extra pick). Jazz would have still been able to get Gobert and Hood with their own picks.

Retool>>>a half-*** rebuild in which you waste all your lottery picks.

Step away from the ledge...
 
So if the Jazz can somehow not **** the bed in the next 2 games again LAC, and they by chance end the regular season tied overall and tie the season series, what determines that tie breaker?

The Jazz effort against Boston and LA has been shameful. They play like that in the playoffs it'll be 4 and out.

After the Atlanta and New Orleans blow out wins I was telling everyone we had arrived. Now I have to lay low until we win again.

I'd take this squad over the Nuggets 15 times out of 10. It is not even comparable.

Also I have when our wasted lottery picks make the all star team.

Division record?
 
And Houston to Miami. With the upcoming schedule we are going to need to play out of our minds, and also some help from other teams vs clips, memphis, and OKC. We would need extreme help to get to 3rd at this point.

I remember this exact kind of talk last year about Portland and how awesome their rebuild was compared to Utah. How's that going for you?

Honestly, Utah very well could end up a first round exit this year, but it's not because they've done a bad job of rebuilding this team. The biggest factor right now is that Favors is just not the same player. If we had borderline all star Favors instead of gimpy Favors, and we had Hill healthy all season, Utah would be right there with SA for 2nd best team in the west, and top 3-4 in the NBA. Injuries have killed us this year, so to throw a hissy fit and start yammering about how some borderline lottery team is better than us is just dumb.

I have to agree. Without a strong Favors we are lacking some strength, and defense inside. He was also giving us 16 steady points a game.
When Hill has been healthy he's looked like a borderline all star. The injury bug has hit him hard this year, and really stopped what could have been a huge breakout season for Hill.
 
Last night was a decent night for Utah.

Jazz won over the Blazers. Grizzlies and Rockets lost.

Thunder, Clippers and Spurs won.

Hello friends. What we see here is called 'overreaction'.

Yes. But hey, we now have a 1-game win streak (against a sub-.500 team). I'm not sure why so many are worrying about who Utah might play in the 2nd round. The Jazz have a horrible record against +.500 teams. They likely will lose in the first round.

As for Denver, they ARE exciting. Jokic is a stud. Hernangomez and Mudiay are promising. Jazz have the better roster now, but that may not be the case in a few years. It might not be the case next year if either Hayward or Hill leave.
