And that's why they won the championship and 29 other teams did not.
Tor won the championship because of Kawhi AND their elite management/development of assets/talents. Teams need to match their level if they wanna compete for a championship.
Jazz did well with the Brantley and JWF picks. Those are NBA-caliber players with upside.

Not making any comments about us in specific. Just saying that to truly contend for a championship, good teams need to uphold themselves to a higher standard instead of making those “well, 28 other teams missed that too” type excuses.

I believe he told teams not to draft him in the second round so that he could be a free agent and earn a better contract. Bet on himself and won.
I am not as optimistic as some here regarding the playoffs. I wait and see how the Jazz do against playoff teams right now. They are 0-2 against the Lakers, 0-1 against a undermanned Rockets team, 2-0 against the Thunder. They haven't played the Nuggets. They are 2-1 against the Clips with them not at full strength in two of the games.
The Rocket loss hit me hard because they are the team the Jazz haven't beaten the last two times in the playoffs. I think the Jazz are going to get kill rebounding if other guys don't pitch in and help out. I also think a lack of length/size is a problem. I have doubts about physical toughness. Those are my concerns while there is a lot to be excited about too. Jazz have the ability to shoot the lights out, we have Rudy. On offense we have multiple guys who can create on their own. I just need to see the Jazz rebound for the horrible loss against the Rockets and go on the road and win 2 out of 3.

Ed Davis + 2RP for Markieff Morris
NWG + late 2RP for Glenn Robinson III

That Rockets game was flukey. The way the Rockets defend requires game planning that the Jazz didn't really do. Eric Gordon is unlikely to go off for 50 pts on high efficiency, like he did the other night. If the Jazz hold Gordon to, say, 37 points, they'd have won. The Jazz also looked emotionally sapped in the first quarter after the Kobe tribute. Jazz can beat the Rockets if they prepare adequately.
Not likely.
