Stephen A. isn't sold on the Jazz being a real threat to the Lakers | First Take

We need to turn the ball over less for sure. I don't care at all about the opponent turnovers though. If our defense is good it's good. No reason to gamble on turnovers more if we play good team defense.

Playing positional defense and running people off the three point line will not generally generate a lot of turnovers. It does, however, generate a lot of bad shots which work almost as well.
 
It's obvious why everyone's not sold about the Jazz not being the best in the west. They just haven't proved themselves in the playoffs yet. I too am not sold. The regular season and the playoffs are two separate things. The Fakers proved themselves and are currently the nba champs while the Jazz, well I just hope they're not pretenders again this year. At least make it to the western finals for god damn sake! It irritates and frustrates me that the Nuggets and Trailblazers accomplish this recently and the Pretenders, I mean Jazz haven't got near that.
 
I'm not sold on Stephen A being a legit journalist or analyst.

Guy's a total hack. His opinions are baseless hot takes based on 1-2 little nuggets that he Googles before going on-air and it takes him 15 minutes to say what others can say in 15 seconds.

That said, I'm not sold on the Jazz as title contenders/favorites either. Lol.

I have a Lakers friend who loves to hate on the Jazz. Beat Bucks without Holiday. Beat 76ers without Embiid. Will play Clips without Kawhi. After he watched a few Jazz games (probably to give him research to hate more) he said he did not know the Jazz were so fun to watch.
All I know is the Jazz are beating all the teams we are supposed to beat even if Spida is concussed. Or Conley is hammy. The team is deep and built for the modern NBA. This team reminds you of the GSW before KD came. Sure Mitchell is not Curry but we are far deeper than them.

It is an interesting comparison, though I don’t think it is true that this team is far deeper than them. That GS team had:
Curry, Thompson, Green, Barnes, Bogut
Iguodala, Barbosa, D. Lee, and Livingston.

So do you drive an STi?
 
The playoffs are where we will be tested. Defenses will lock in on Rudy and Bojan. Will they be able to adjust? Time will tell , I certainly hope so.
