Are the Jazz Not Bad?

[cctrackstar]

'we should tank and get good draft picks'
'we got six picks in two years and they all look really good'
'we should play the young players to tank'
'O CRAP, THE PLAYERS THAT WERE GOOD ARE GOOD, OH NO, WE WON'T SUCK ENOUGH TO GET ANOTHER GOOD PLAYER WHO IS YOUNG'
S-C-R-E-W-T-H-E-T-A-N-K

we aren't stuck in mediocrity, we have several very young but talented players that have years to grow and develop into their prime, and very few bad contracts. i know some of you are worshipping the coming draft, but i'd rather have players that develop in a good culture team than a bunch of players who develop thinking that it's ok to lose. we've played our hand, let's see how it turns out. (oh, and many future picks as well. imagine being one of those mid teams that spent all their picks to get talent that doesn't work out and they have nothing and no future)

How should I put this…

You’re like the dude that keeps going all in on King High expecting to win the pot.

They went Lauri, plus overdose of youth, plus Clarkson because of his culture impact and the magic he still brings. Then add locker room presences. We'll it looks still with all of that, the Jazz will not. Be a bottom 5 team and the pick to OzKC has a chance to convey. If the youth level up quickly then maybe collectively they are better than a Cooper Flagg. I suspect the will try to tear it down but I think Lauri expressed his frustration what they did with Tech and that is why we signed Svi who will not be traded this year to honor Luatis extension signing

I agree it would be fine if the Jazz won. But it would be nice to have one last super talented player

Jazz have the best record and best point differential in the pre-season

This means nothing but Im gonna post it here anyways:

In 2017 the cleveland browns were undefeated in the pre season.
Their regular season record? 0-16.

Pre season isn't always a great indicator of how the regular season will go.

I would say 90% of the posters dont care about wins/losses/points in the preseason.

Its the eyeball test that worries some. Our 2nd year guys all look improved, and the rooks dont look nearly as Stars-bound as TH&Brice did last year.

If everyone plays better than expected then the record should also turn out better than expected.

I care about pre-season wins just because it's the only time I'm going to be actively excited for wins.

Pre-season inferences to regular season success smack of inductivism. No sir. Such habits of thought defy sound epistemology.

 

[HermanG]

Agreed
I bet those browns fans eyeball test had them thinking their team would be pretty good too.

If everyone plays better than expected in the pre season then I think that has little to do with what the regular season record will be due to the huge difference between pre season and regular season.

That makes no sense. Why would the Jazz players specifically look better in the preseason at the cost of their opponents who are also playing in a preseason game?

 

[HermanG]

For what its worth, I think the whole team coming togther in SLC so early may be the reason why we have looked good so far.

I have no idea where The Jazz will pick next year. What I do know is we will get the worst lottery pick we can and if any coin flips are involved we will lose those. It's a Jazz tradition.

We might convey to OKC.
