jazz need to be 4th or 5th to avoid lakers

I would rather face the tough guys up front and do or die. That way if we do get past them, then good things are likely to happen. If we don't then management can't say "well this team got us to the 2nd round/WCF. They just need some time. The improvements will all be internal." and maybe they will do something to help us fight for that championship.

Thats what you thought when the Jazz were finished off quickly by the Lakers in 2009. what happened next? Nothing much. If it is not "internal improvement" it will be "injuries". The FO will find some excuse to sell the BS that this team is of championship caliber. This season they already have several excuses-3 new starters, 2 new players in starting 5 and Memo's delayed comeback. So you have to wait for another 2-3 years and be patient while we "develop".

How about KOC's recent escape line though? "We are just 3 games off of division leader". So reassuring.
 
Barring an blockbuster trade, I'd rather see the Jazz miss the playoffs this year. There's no sense losing early every year. Players need that extra rest to get healthy and work on their games. It would also move them up in the draft, and hopefully, send a good shot of reality to the FO.

I really don't see the point of this thread. If we were playing well then yeah, decent thread. But as it stands, we simply are garbage, and ideally we need to avoid a slew of teams in the West...which is impossible.
 
Why would anyone want us to miss the playoffs? For a #14 draft pick and future roster clogger/bust/pay roll? You always wanna get in there and then at least roll the dice. Going forward.. shouldn't Al get some legit post season experience? What about Hay-slice?

The whole notion that "To be the best, you must beat the best!" sounds like some cliche martial arts flick catch phrase. You look over the years, how many teams have won championships because of lucky breaks in the seeding? Do you think those Chips feel any less "deserving"? Hell no.

Please enlighten us as to who didn't have to beat the best teams to win a championship.
 
Why do fans always talk about avoiding the best teams? If we're a championship calibre team, wouldn't we want to face the best in the league and come out on top? Wouldn't that prove we were the best or at least we could hang with the best?

You want me to go through every year every sport and pick it out for you? It should just be an easy fact to understand. #1 seeds don't make the finals in any sport every year, year in and year out. Teams with matchup issues sometimes get lucky and manage to avoid their achilles heal.
