After Golden State/San Antonio/Cleveland are there any teams that are clearly better than the Jazz?

1. GSW
2. SAS
3. CLE
4. LAC
5. MEM
6. UTAH
7. BOS
8. ATL
9. TOR
10. PDX

PDX is the airport code for Portland... You must work for an airline.

(I don't think anyone who finished below us last year is a real threat to pass us).

Minny kind of scares me. Towns, Thibbs, and Wiggins in year 3 with Thibbs coaching. And what if Chris Dunn is good? ...

1. Golden State
2. San Antonio
3. Cleveland
4. Clips
5. Toronto
6. Houston
7. Boston
8. Memphis
9. Utah
10. Minnesota/Portland/Phoenix/Heat/Hornets

The Rockets ahead of the Jazz? Come on.

Also can't wait to play the Blazers. Hope we get to see Hill and Exum check Mccullum and Dame. I think they will shut those guys down, relatively speaking.

I don't know but it seems to me the Jazz lacks some toughness. They need someone that leads by example by playing through injuries, take hard fouls, getting under other players skin and try to throw them off their game. A player that's not afraid to get in another players face and stand up for teammates. The Jazz need some fiery attitude and display of emotion to fire up fans and teammates. The Rudy Salute kind of disappeared last year and we lost Bookers toughness. Do we have a tough guy on this team? Do we have a fiery emotional leader? Or do we have a bunch of guys that will nurse injuries and back down to physical contact? Too me that's all were lacking to finish 4th or 5th overall.

Best to worse teams:

GSW
CLE
SAS
LAC
MEM
TOR
UTA
POR
BOS
OKC


Best to Worst as far as record:

GSW
CLE
SAS
TOR
LAC
BOS
MEM
UTA
POR
OKC



Due to the eastern conference being weaker I expect Boston to finish ahead of Utah but think Utah will be the better team.
