Ok, I can understand the frustration. This whole year has been effed up, in that every time we get a chance to gain ground on teams, we either suffer another injury, or just go through a rough stretch where we don't play our best. Having said that, I think it's good to stop and put things into perspective.
Despite all the setbacks we've had with injuries, Utah just moved into the 4th spot in the west with a record of 32-19. The Cavs are leading the east with a record of 34-15. And it's not just games that players have missed that have hurt us. One of our biggest setbacks is the fact that Favors has never played like himself yet this year. At this point, if we had borderline all-star Favors instead of half-Favors for the time he's been healthy, along with a healthy Hill, I believe Utah is the 2nd best team in the west with a better record than any team in the east. At the very least, we would be fighting for 2nd with the spurs.
So no, the negative nancies have not been right all along. Regardless of how frustrating this season has been, DL has managed to put together a pretty damn good team.
GO JAZZ!!!!
