How do you think they'd stack up vs the Eastern Conference teams?

[Game6Conley]

Try and keep the western conference playoff talk to a minimum, there will be plenty of threads on that.

Essentially the question is; can they take out the following teams in the finals?

-Celtics
-Cavs
-Raptors
-Wizards
-Hawks
-Bucks
-Pacers
-Bulls/Heat?

*Also try and be optimistic and say that Favors is back at ~87% of what he's capable of.


I think they can beat them all except for the Cavs, I don't think Cleveland could dispatch of Utah easily tho, there'd be epic confrontations at the rim between LeBron and Rudy.

The Raptors and Celtics could prove to be tough. I feel like Exum would actually need to be pretty good vs Boston. Raptors with Lowry and DeRozan and Valanciunas, and Ibaka going could definitely take out Utah too.

I think the Jazz could beat any of them in a 7 game series. Raptors and Cavs have the edge, Celtics a tie. Jazz have an edge over the rest.

I agree with the OP. However, I would add one thing, if this Jazz team played in the eastern conference this year, they would have been the 1 seed and that might give them a slight edge to make it to the finals over most of the teams, or at least pull even with everyone but the Cavs.

Anyone but the Celtics. They own us. Best team that can play 5-out in the NBA.
