Does anyone still like this team?

I am always rooting for the Jazz to win. I love the Jazz. I am less or more excited from time to time. Right now my excitement is at a low point for the DM/Gobert era. I am still rooting for them to win, every game. But I have really tempered my expectations for this current iteration. I will be happy if we get to the 2nd round, but tbh, with the way we have been playing in the last, oh 30 games, I do not have a lot of hope of us making any kind of a run this year.

Good thing is that those 30 games or so were meaningless. Or at thats what everyone was saying last season about the regular season. The important thing is resting guys and being healthy for the playoffs…… at least until that is exactly what the jazz do and then suddenly those 30 games matter a ton and we should have been going all out to win every game.

I think we are healthy right now, probably have a chip on our shoulders, are favored to win round 1 and then will an underdog in round two (might be nice to be the underdog and playing with no pressure and nothing to lose).
This is the time to be excited. Forget about those 30 games. They dont matter.

When you have the best record then it doesn't matter what your record is, when you don't have the best record then it matters.
 
I don't think being disappointed in the way the Jazz played during the season or being less confident about their playoff chances makes anybody less of a fan than those who are constantly optimistic or positive. The fact that they don't have homecourt for any round in the playoffs and will have to potentially face the best team in the NBA in the second round instead of the conference finals is because of their poor regular season play, and that's a real bummer. I also think it's okay to be realistic about their title chances or even just their chances of beating the Suns and advancing past the second round for the first time in 15 years. I think just about everyone here is rooting hard for the Jazz to win every game, and every playoff series. Just because we don't always believe they'll win certain games, or a certain playoff series doesn't mean we don't want them to. Everyone can fan however they want.

Yep, no one is knocking down an up-and-coming team.

The thought going into the season was that regular season wasn't important and Jazz should prepare for the playoffs. I don't think most are complaining because Jazz are 5th, it's because Jazz aren't prepared at all. None of the adjustments Quin Snyder tried to implement stuck because we have bunch of limited players and some of them couldn't put aside their egos and sacrifice for the team. There is no point to playing high hedge if you don't put effort recovering to your man or playing switch if you are constantly looking back to switch back.

The team just didn't work hard towards improving their habits so at least they should have been in a more favourable position.

I am all in and one of the few who still likes Quin. That being said, it is a lot more about how they finished than where they finished. Making this an issue of simply being healthy and the regular season not mattering misses the point of how many huge leads this team has blown and the lack of confidence that has been obvious on the floor. I am hopeful that they can leave that behind but not feeling great about it.
