Jazz might be ahead of the Pelicans and the Clips.

A beast who is dependent on great lob passes to have any impact offensively. He is going to miss CP3 a lot.
Clippers are still above Dallas, for sure. Chris Paul and Griffin are still nasty and will win a lot of regular season games. I would flip Dallas and Clippers. 6-10 could be anybody.
You know a lot of people thought Jordan was one of the most over-rated defenders in the NBA?
Amin Elhassan said on twitter that if the Clippers sign Koufus, they will be a better defensive team than they were with Jordan.
Oh yeah, and Jordan hits 40% of his FT's so you cant even play him in crunch time.
Durant's foot injury has ended careers. I really hope not but it is still a question mark.
The Jazz are certainly building a smart way... The Spurs and OKC didn't sign a significant free agent or make a starter-level trade until they were at the cusp of the title or a deep playoff run. Utah should go with the team they have built and see how far this team can get before bringing in that big-money piece. Based on the last 1/3 of the season, Utah should get to the playoffs and maybe even a second round appearance. Go Jazz!

I'd say for the playoffs Utah is gonna be fighting for 7-8 seed realistically, maybe the 6th seed.
West is crazy stacked, GS, SA, OKC, Clips, Rockets, Mem should be locks for the playoffs. Dallas, Minny, NO, Utah, Phoenix and maybe even Portland will be fighting for those last two spots.
The key is that Utah will be a top level defensive team, which will win us close games and keep us in the hunt. AND if we make the playoffs we could pose a matchup problem with our stifling defense.
Either way I can't wait for next season, the last half of this season was the most excited I've been over the Jazz in a long time

I'm going to temper expectations on the Mavs for right now. Last year with a lineup of Rondo, Ellis, Parsons, Dirk, and Chandler should have been a top-4 or top-5 team in the West.
