ESPN predicts Jazz finish 5th.

Do you people realize the Blazers have one thing the Jazz do not? A Bonafied star.. Stars win in the NBA and the Jazz have ZERO stars, Packed full of role players and I admit this but no stars. So thinking they are top 4 team is Homerism to its finest.
 
Blazers finish better then the Jazz, Just like I predicted last year. Whats funny is so many of you use injuries as an excuse but Memphis was injured also and still made playoffs. Yet you think Jazz are going leap frog them? Jazz finish from 6th to 9th in Western. Book it. I was right last year and ill be right this year. With a healthy Russ OKC is the better team...

Memphis literally limped into the playoffs. They went 5-13 in the last month. If the season was 85 games, they wouldn't have made the playoffs. If they were healthy, they would have been the 3 or 4 seed.

Thinking they are a top 4 team, when most experts expect them to finish in the top 5, yep thats just total homerism... And the Blazers Bonafied star, didn't make the all-star game (I admit he should have) but he is not a top 10 player, maybe the 5th best player at his positions. Sacramento has a "bonafied star" in Cousins and missed the playoffs. NO has a "Banafied star" in Davis and missed the playoffs. Houston has a "bonified star" in Harden, and almost missed the playoffs. 1 player who is an all-star doesn't make them better than a team who has more talent at every other position, and more depth. They might be better than the Jazz next year, but its not total homerism to thing that the more talented team top to bottom will be better.
 
The Jazz were a better team than the Blazers last year. The Blazers were just lucky enough to avoid the injury bug for the most part while we weren't.

Look at the depth charts

Jazz
C- Rudy Gobert/Boris Diaw/Jeff Withey/Tibor Pleiss
PF- Derrick Favors/Trey Lyles
SF- Gordon Hayward/Joe Johnson/Joe Ingles
SG- Rodney Hood/Alec Burks
PG- George Hill/Dante Exum/Shelvin Mack/Raul Neto

Blazers
C- Mason Plumlee/Meyers Leonard/Festus Ezeli
PF- Al Farouq Aminu/Ed Davis/Noah Vonleh
SF- Evan Turner/Moe Harkless/Luis Montero/Jake Layman
SG- CJ McCollum/Allen Crabbe/Pat Connaughton
PG- Damian Lillard/Shabazz Napier

We have better balance, more depth, more versatility, and more growth potential in our roster. Nobody should be thinking the Blazers finish ahead of the Jazz next year.
Good post and I agree.
They do have a star player though.

Still, I definitely think we are better than them. Easily

You are so dumb though

Like so, so dumb.

And let's not forget, nocoloradojazz gets it wrong 90% of the time but likes to talk about the 1 out of 10 times he's right all the time.

False you clown. I get it right 90 percent and wrong 10 percent... Go back and look at the history. Like it or not I am right most of the time. Jazz a 3 or 4 seed like some around here think is justy laughable. Who last team to not make playoffs and then jump to a 4 or higher seed without a talent like Lebron,, Face it you have ZERO stars just like you yourself have ZERO bball brains cells.... Stars win in this league period.
 
Dude you have a picture of someone who looks handicapped and you are calling me dumb.. LOL
Ya, I call you dumb because you are dumb. Not because of what your avatar is.

I guess you're right since the Jazz got rid of Trey Burke. They no longer have a certain star on the team. Amirite?
