Playoff experience is why the Jazz were suppose to lose their past two first round series.
But Jazz were/are nails on defense which translates directly in the postseason.

I agree they'll make it past the 1st round because they are going to face the 7th or 8th seeded team. I have trouble seeing them win 2 games in the 2nd round though. They are soft, and inexperienced and they are not really built for the playoffs.
One a my favorite short term Jazzmen ever.I would say two of the four wins against the Clippers easily don't happen without Joe.
They may not be pushovers but I think the Nuggets at home win those match ups. This is not the Spurs of old. All of the things that made those teams great this Spurs team is missing. Great shooters from 3, Toughness, and Defensive mindsets. This Spurs team is missing that a lot.I mean that seventh or eighth seed team is likely the Clippers or the Spurs. They aren't exactly pushovers. They aren't sweeping Pops in the playoffs.
We had some dudes with playoff experience doe... Hill, Joe Johnson, Jae Crowder... last year we were a second year playoff team except Ricky and DM.
Denver is young and it’s their initial playoff run. The young thing may matter more than playoff experience... Millsap helps with his experience... not sure IT is in the rotation in the post season.
Lack of postseason experience isn’t always an issue but the combo of young and lack of experience could be deadly.
