The suns should be able to play .500 ball easily. dont bet against cp3 in these types of things.
Jazz over/under opens at 43 - 4th in WC.
- Thread starter candrew
- Start date
That's fair for the Jazz. I'd probably say a couple more wins, but you never know with injuries. To be within 5 games of the Lakers is actually kind of a compliment. I think the Nuggets might slip a little, but the Blazers might be right on our tail. I could see the Jazz finishing 3rd or 4th in the WC.

This short offseason, abbreviated camp, relatively no preseason. Which team is most professional? Which team is best organized?
I have my doubts about the Clippers. New coach, whiny players who always need rest, etc.
I have no doubts about the Lakers (of course if AD signs and is healthy).
I think we are professional and focused enough to start strong. Bojan should be ready to shine after having all the time off. Everybody else should have a chip on their shoulder considering how we collapsed down the stretch vs Denver.

The Portland defense?
With RoCo and Nurk back?

I'll give you Roco, but is Nurk anything to write home about on D? Replacing Whiteside with Kanter hurts on that side of the ball. Roco is the only guy on that team that can lock down on Defense, right?
The Portland O will be pretty good though with treats at every level.
My first reaction as well, lol.
Fair. Its been awhile since I saw Nurk obvs but dont they drop him and its given us fits with Donovan in the past?

I think the Jazz can punish that better now that they don't have Gobert, Rubio, and Mitchel trying to get to the rim. Mitchel is just soooo much better than he was 2 years ago.
Easy over on the Jazz. Not sure I trust us to be world beaters in the regular season because I still don't trust our overall depth. But the equivalent of 49 wins in an 82 game season is such a low mark for this team. We won the equivalent of 50 last season with damn near everything possible going wrong AND not accounting for the fact we tanked the bubble.
