Could we be in the title race this year?

If everything is clicking do we have a chance? Jingles, Bogey and Niang draining three's. Rudy crushing souls. Donovan dominating. JFC exploding vs. 2nd units. Conley finding a way to mesh and play at a high level.

It seems unlikely we could take on Lebron, AD and the Lakers in prime form or Kahwi, PG and the Clippers cast in prime form on the biggest stage, but could we?

Could we be? We are!
 
IDK, I still have a hard time picking against the Clips if Kawhi and PG are healthy. Thats a tough, deep team. Don't 100% believe in the Lakers with such a poor supporting cast. But I'd put Utah above Denver, Dallas and on par with Harden.
 
In my opinion we are. I think we are one of, if not the deepest team in the league. Even with Bojan not playing well for the past couple weeks, we always seem to have someone who steps up. I think a lot of people are underrating us. We could beat any team in this league in a 7 game series.
 
Can’t worry about playoff matchups at this point. The biggest thing is seeding and home court. So just win. Other teams in the West want to load manage into the playoffs. We need to take advantage.
 
I think at this point it’s going to require an injury in Lakerland of either Davis or LeBron to have a shot at that top seed in the West. We also are going to have to show something against Houston. The other West teams don’t really worry me too much. That load management crap is already breaking down the Clips chemistry.

The importance of “supporting cast” fades in the playoffs, it doesn’t increase.
 
Could.

The Jazz NEED a big, and/or Conley needs to come back and prove he can both be productive AND mesh. I say “or” because trading Conley could net you a starting caliber, past-prime star to fill that big need rather than scouring for a strict-backup. I’m not necessarily promoting that, but for some reason I am having dreams of Kevin Love. The offense and rebounding would be absurd (perhaps what you lose on defense could be made up for in improved defensive rebounding).

Anyway, yeah. Could, with more roster/rotation changes.
 
Yes. No question about it. We still have flaws but so do the other contenders. It's gonna come down to the matchups. Who plays who in the playoffs.
 
The nba title is wide open this year and the Jazz should really capitalize on it. Next year, the Warriors will be back to full strength. Conley really needs to get it together with the injuries and gameplay. Jazz really need him to step up bigtime. We're still a 2nd round team at best, but if Conley, Clarkson and another addition all click together with rest of the team, we gold.
