4% LOL.
Lol on one side of the extreme end, I see a thread arguing to get rid of Exum, our only shot at even having a chance at a championship run. And that's if he pans out which is now very unlikely given how many minutes he plays under Snyder.
And now on the other side of the extreme, I see this thread lol. We probably won't even be able to retain Hayward, let alone be a championship contender. But yeah, I guess it's better to dream about this to rationalize wasting time watching so many Jazz games.
Any team could, but it would take some serious luck. In all reality we would need to have someone else beat the warriors and then matchup with the spurs/clippers in the WCF, and even GETTING to WCF is going to be tough.
For the Jazz to have a legit shot it would take the following
1 - Fully healthy team, as mentioned by the OP
2 - Warriors losing in the second round.
3 - Getting lucky with an injury or two on the opposing teams in the second round and WCF
4 - Cavs either get upset or seriously banged up in their playoff run, highly unlikely.
I would love to see it but I doubt it will happen. Fun to think about though
if goldenstate and the warrior both lose 90% of their team due to injuries then yes. I'd say...there's a chance...
No. This season is about going thru the motions, not actually competing.
Even in the unlikely event they get thru the west they aren't stopping the Cavs in the finals.
You think 4% is too high?
You do realize "fan" is part of fanatic. If you are a fan you have to believe you have a shot. If not then why even care?
A few story lines
Exum - realizes his potential, starts knocking down outside shots and becomes lick down defender. This would drive Curry crazy
Favors - developed a goto low post game and becomes unstoppable. Only the clips have a low post team capable of competing with the jazz.
Rudy - goes all world and no one can score with in 5' of the basket allowing the jazz to become more aggressive on the perimeter. Disrupting passing and shooting
Hayward - his scoring is Jordanesqe. Put the ball in his hands and he will find a way to score
Hood - goes off from outside and is listed among the great 3 point shooters.
Johnson - finds the fountain of youth and comes off the bench scoring like he use to.
Lyles - gets it. Both offense and defense and no one can stop him. He is a mismatch no mayer where he is.
Hill - quietly becomes the second greatest point guard ever to Don a jazz jersey.
