"Jazz are NOT the team to beat in the West" Doc Rivers

Rivers is an underachieving loser, but he is right.

We are good, but not THE team to beat right now. I think we get exposed in the playoffs. Our lack of defense, and athleticism will be exploited.
Would love to be wrong, but it seems to clear right now.

Maybe that will force DL to make some offseason moves.

On the flip side: The X factor could be Bogey. If he is able to turn it on, and have an amazing playoffs we could make the run. I keep holding out hope, but it's
been frustrating watching him so far.
 
He would go in to talk about how Joel is MVP, Ben is DPOY, shake is 6th man, Seth Curry is most improved and he is coach of the year.

Keep our team and players out ya mouf!
 
Not sure why he cares. He won’t be playing any West teams in the playoffs.

Though this pales in comparison to the patheticness of them just constantly begging for Simmons to get DPOY when there is no argument for it whatsoever. Pretty sad.

Some saying his statement is true are correct. The west is different... so many good teams there is no one team to beat. His statement is like someone saying “hey this is a nice house you have here... it’s not as good as the Smith’s or Thomas’... I’m just being honest”. Yeah well go to hell cuz no one asked you.

This guy ain’t even a real doctor... GTFOH

It's weird especially one can still make some argument on which team is the one beat in the West, whereas Nets is CLEARLY the team to beat in the East right now.
 
People talked this way about Denver in the past when they were the #1 seed, and vindicated when the Nuggets lost in the playoffs. Maybe the naysayers are equating the Jazz as a similarly surprising team.

Only one way to prove otherwise...
 
People don't say stuff like that except to try to amuse or shock the audience. When everyone knows #1 has more wins than #2.

So the league is getting good about the math. When you get over 40% on 3s you beat teams that do less than 60% on 2s.

Until AD and Lebron have been ruled out for the playoffs the Lakers are still the team to beat.

I think you meant the Hawks

He is lobbying for post-season awards for his guys. He knows we have the front-runner for both DPOY and 6th man. So he's trying to build the narrative that we really aren't that good so our guys shouldn't be taken seriously for those awards.
