Jazz wins over under

It's going to take 50+ to get into the playoffs. This team is hungry and that is the goal.

53 wins.

I think the most games an 8 seed has ever won is 50, so 50 games should be a nearly guarantee for the playoffs. I don't think a team has ever won 50 games and not made it in. From what I see, 48 wins is the highest amount to ever not make the playoffs.

West keeps getting deeper though-- the Suns hit 48 wins and missed them just a season ago. Wouldn't be surprised if 50 didn't cut it this year.
 
That would be 2nd seed in the East, HAHAHA

Which is why I want the top 16 teams (record wise) in the playoffs and seeding is done by record with no preference to division winners.

#1 v. #16
#2 v. #15
and so on. That gives more unique matchups and the elite eastern teams have a playoff schedule on par with the west as far as toughness.
 
I think most on here are being optimistic (as we usually are as fans). Much of the West got better, and there are not many teams that you would argue got worse. Spurs, Clippers, Pelicans, Wolves, Lakers, Houston and Thunder all theoretically should be better next season. I think the Vegas line for us will be .500, but my opinion is that we'll win 44-45 games and get the 8th seed.
 
For those who bet: What number would make you not want to bet on the over? What number would make you want to bet on the under?

If they set it at 47.5, would you bet the over?

If they set it at 50.5, would you be the under?

I'm thinking 48 so I would take the over on the 1st and under on the 2nd, but the 1st bet would make me more nervous.
 
Jazz won 43 games in 2013.

Rudy Gobert > Al Jefferson
Derrick Favors = Millsap on offense, >> on defense.
Gordon Hayward >>>> Gordon Hayward
Alec Burks >>> Randy Foye.
I'm not rating Mo against Dante, but the defense is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Rodney Hood < Marvin Williams. This is the most likely to reverse?

Pretty good starting point IMO if all else were equal.
