I still want like 15 more games of playing like *** before I feel comfortable. Games 20-40 the schedule gets a little less tank friendly. The final 20 games teams will be panic tanking. Get out to a big lead in the tank race. My sources tell me Lauri's back is sooooooo spasm'd. Rest and rest are the only cures.I'm glad all my "the Jazz tank is going to be fine" arguments came true. Turns out young players suck at winning and veteran depth wins you games. We had perfect examples of this the last two Jazz season btw.
We might not be the very bottom (though it's looking promising)....but I think we can rule out this 8-12 finish that I was arguing with people all summer about. Some of these teams tanking teams will trade the players that are helping them win, but it can't be all of them.I still want like 15 more games of playing like *** before I feel comfortable.

I was eyeballing 5th -6th... but after this start I'm now greedy. Being bottom 4 may require a bit of management.We might not be the very bottom (though it's looking promising)....but I think we can rule out this 8-12 finish that I was arguing with people all summer about.

Need to do whatever we can to ensure we're in the bottom 3Bottom 4 is about right for my hopes. The difference between 1 - 4 as far as lottery odds isn't huge. The main difference between 1 and 4 is if someone jumps us then we are left dropping to 5 - 7 vs 3 - 5. In the last draft that pushed some bottom 4 teams to 6th which would be the suck.
Is it 2021?If you had told me the Jazz would be tied with the Bucks and Sixers, I'd have been disappointed.
