2 wins each against Houston, Dallas, and Denver leaves us sitting pretty. THEN we head into a significant home stand. Yeah, unless we get injuries, the #2 seed would be pretty solid. Denver and Dallas have a rough patch incoming as well. We'd still have the Clippers to deal with, but "load management" is going to lock them out of the 2 seed IMO. You can't go dropping games to Atlanta.

I see what you’re saying, and I’m aware of the possibility that one team performs above expectations and models. And yet, I’ll say what I said before: no team is running away with the 2 seed.

It's going to be interesting to see how Quin handles this. I just don't see how you can split this starting lineup up when they've been so dominant.

If the Jazz keep playing like this I honestly wouldn't be shocked if Mike tells Quin to keep bringing him off the bench.

I know Mike is an all star caliber player in this league. But he legitimately comes off as a guy who is team first and just wants to win. I mean I'm positive he's aware of how well things are clicking right now.

I was actually thinking about this last night. How amazing it is that Mike and Emmanuel are having no issues with these changes so far.

It's great having top notch character players.

Agreed. It's going to be a bloodbath for the top teams in the West all season long

Also, since Mike is older and already paid he might just want to chase a championship in any way he can, including coming off the bench and maybe playing a little less. (That would help with his health too)

Plus his stats could look better going against other teams benches.

I see Mike off the bench until all star break. From there ONeal probably goes to bench and starters will keep the dynamic nature they have had.
 
I have been convinced mc was going to start, but bolerharp were even referring to it like it's in question ling term makes me think it may have more legs..
