Remember the Jazz After Stockton and Malone Retired?

Basically that team was a bunch of ragamuffins but Sloan willed that team within a game of the playoffs if memory serves. This Jazz team has as much or more talent as that one did and that is what makes this year so frustrating.

The Western conference was not nearly as deep as it is right now.

Really? Is it? Portland was a force, the Lakers had kobe, malone, payton, and shaq, Dallas had a young Dirk, same with San Antonio, Phoenix with Nash and Amare', Seattle was a force with a young Ray Allen and Rashad Lewis, Minnesota had Garnett... I would argue that the west back in 01-02 was better than it is now.

That Seattle team was never very good. The Minny one either really. Had one very strong year when Garnett was MVP...outside of that, nothing special.
 
Since 2000, there have been a couple of times when every playoff team in the Western Conference had at least 50 wins: 2007/'08 and again in 2009/'10. Almost happened again last season (Dallas was the 8th seed at 49-33).

In both '07/'08 and again last season, a team finished with 48 wins and missed the playoffs. I think there's a very good chance 50 wins will be needed to make the playoffs in the WC this year.

Like Kris Humphries for instance?

You know and I know this is destined to happen. Crazy to think he is in his 12th year in the league. Needs to come home and anchor our bench. He would be a much better option than Novak, and he has been Kardashian free for over 3 years.

Quin is a rookie coach and is coaching a young team.

You want wins (not addressing you in particular Tony)? Too ****ing bad. **** is gonna hurt. Losing is ugly. Adversity separates the wheat from the chaff.
