What's new

Jazz wins over under

47 but I'm hoping 50+. It'll all hinge on Gobert and Exum improvement and how well Burks gels with the rest of the team.
 
While we played well against good competition over the last half of the season, part of our emergence was due to the fact that we also had the easiest schedule in the NBA post all-star break. That and the fact that it's going to be harder to sneak up on teams now has me thinking we improve but not as much as people believe.

I say we end up with 43 wins.

Pretty sure we were putting up those stats vs playoff teams. Not just the east either.

Post All star break the Jazz played:

Portland x 3
Memphis x 2
San Antonio
Milwuakee
Houston x 2
Washington
Golden State
Dallas

The Jazz went 7-5 in those games, all playoff teams. So was our schedule easier? Yes, but the Jazz were still bringing it against the elite teams in the NBA.
 
Jazz win 6 of their last 8 games to push a 42 win season.

Injuries and a big mid season trade shake everything up.
 
I think it's 47 or 48 wins, enough to make the playoffs. The difference is Exum and Gobert's steps forward. People will start to realize that these guys can't really be guarded, even if their offense is still a bit raw. Lyles will be a solid rotation player sooner than people expect, and people will ask themselves why they ever doubted Alec Burks. Meanwhile, the Jazz's defense is top 3 all season.

Exum - Hood - Hayward - Lyles - Gobert might be the best passing line-up in the entire league
 
I won't believe it is possible for the Jazz to lose a game until it actually happens, and even then, I'll need further evidence. . .
