Serious question: Why are people rooting for the Jazz to win this year?

Ben10 said:
To the original question in the thread. I root for the Jazz to win every game every year because thats the way I am wired. I am a fan. Not a conditional fan on them doing it the way I think it should be done. But a fan of the team that I root for. I well alway cheer for them to win no matter what the situation.

Your reasoning is is what will keep you from ever being #1. The Jazz do not have the talent to win it all. It will be impossible for them to get that talent unless they lose.

Your/the Jazz's thinking will do nothing but keep them in the 7-11 range.

You HAVE to lose to win in the NBA.

You completely missed the point of my post.

Lets see if I can make it more clear. I might think that the Jazz need to do things differently and that they have made mistakes and that I would rather they took more chances and get a different coach and play the young guys more. All of those are things that I think should happen or should have happened.

But once the game starts my heart wont let me not root for my team to win. I cheer and get nervous every game like its game 7 of the finals. Like I said, thats the way I am wired. It isn't reasoning or thinking it's fandom.

I was just trying to answer your question as to why I am still cheering in an honest fashion.

Fair enough.

Take a step back and think about it. We have a solid core: Favors, Kanter, Burks, and Hayward. There are a lot of good, solid players there, and maybe one or two future all stars if we get lucky. That's the problem. Favors may be a fantastic player, but he isn't a sure thing (although he looks very promising). Same can be said for the other three. Why not root for Utah to get a top 3 pick and GS's pick this year? It's a shortened season, they look awful, but young, and I don't know if this team has THAT guy; a Kobe, Durant, Rose, etc, who can put the team on his back and take them to a title. Why not suffer through 66 games, root for losses, BUT hope that one of the young four looks fantastic every night (continued improvement) and then have an excellent pick or two to get our wing All-Pro?

Then our whole starting five may very well be all top 10 draft picks. This team would be chocked full of talent, with pieces to trade (Jefferson), and cap room (Okur).

This is our most realistic way to win a title; one more year of bad basketball.

Awwww. ****. Imagine Lillard and Barnes on this team right now:

Lillard
Hayward
Barnes
Favors
Gobert

****, I hate it when I'm right.
 
How could the Jazz have gotten both Lillard and Barnes when they were drafted before the protection of Golden State's pick had been been extinguished?

And besides, since that lineup isn't championship caliber, you'd be calling to tear it down again.

Wrong. I've said you can't win a title without a star. Lillard is a star. I'd be calling for Utah to build around Lillard.

Also, wasn't the year that GS's pick was top 7 protected? Didn't GS draft #7? So, the assumption would be that if Utah tanked that year, they would have ended up in the top 7, pushing GS down to 8 or lower, thereby surrendering the pick to Utah.
 
Lol at being able to build a championship squad around Dame Lillard. He's a good player, but he plays zero defense. You ain't winning with him as your centerpiece.
