Does Dennis Lindsey get canned if this season is botched?

I love this post and feel the same exact way. If we can get back that fire that we had on defense two years ago, and Lyles can improve a little bit on defense, and Exum has improved some from two years ago, I literally think we can win 52-54 games.

If we can recapture the health and defense from the latter half of the 2014-15 season, and then add Hill and Deng to that group, we could honestly be looking at the #1 defense in over a decade. Seriously, a historic defense.

Also, a Hill-Hood-Hayward combo (Triple H) on offense will be great. They should be able to identify mismatches quickly and exploit them. And there will be plenty of mismatches. Our offense is already better. If Lyles takes a step forward and Rudy gets a move...... ****, excited, we could definitely be looking at a 52-55 win team.

I honestly think if Lyles can improve from a D to a C+ on defense, and Exum is light years ahead of his rookie year and looks more like he did in that one SL game from last year, and we are relatively pretty damn healthy, and we get Deng, we could maybe even win 55-58 games.

BWahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

You can't be serious. 55 wins? You mean the third best team in the West?

Come on man.

Right now, we are a 42-45 win team. If we add a piece or two, we may be able to flirt with 50 wins, which would put us 5th in the West.

The goal should be the playoffs, which will be around 43-45 wins. Anything above that will be exceptional.

55 wins...lol. Come on now.

So basically the jazz are marginally better than the injury decimated team from last year?

Nah, not buying it. The Jazz are much stronger based on health alone. Then they added Hill.

So, you honestly think Utah can win 55 games next year?

Yes I think they can. I think they are better than 42-45 wins. They were that good last year and only failed to reach it due to games lost due to injury.

Aside from your sarcasm and humor you have yet to make any solid statements as to why they cannot.

The case has been made, in depth as to why people think they can.

Either way a lot of people are going to be eating crow at the end of this upcoming season. Lot's of strong stances.

Not only that, but Memphis was injured last year as well. KAT will be a lot better his second year. Oh, and he has Wiggins and a real coach now. If Howard leaves Houston, they may be better as well. NO was injury riddled as well. They should be expected to improve. FA hasn't started yet, I'd bet LAL, PDX to get better as well. Oh, and OKC should be a lot better next year.

To think that Utah can jump from 9th to 3rd, which means they would be as good as, if not better than OKC...

Come on now.

Utah won 40 games last year. I think 45-50 games is realistic. That would put them fifth in the West. That is realistic. I'd bet Vegas puts Utah's over/under around 42-43 wins. I think Utah will be around 45 45-48 wins. They should be 5-6 in the West.

55 wins? You think Utah is on OKC's level? The Clipper's level? The same Clippers that wasted us without any starters in a do or die game?

So all this over the fact that my best case scenario is 5 games better than yours? hahahahaha

Also, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA at using 1 game as evidence. Are you Tyrone Corbin?

Hill's win totals in the East:

45 wins
38 wins
56 wins
42 wins

What makes you think he will take a 40 win team and help them jump up 15 wins?

He is a very, very, very good role player. Not a superstar.
