What are the minimal accomplishments needed this season to satisfy you?

1) Not playing the Warriors in the first round

2) Lose a 6 or 7 games series in the first round (or go further, obviously)

3) The Warriors don't win the finals
 
1) 46 wins.

2) Second round of PO, with one or two wins, depending of opponent.

3) See Exum fully recover, showing confidence and star potential (at least on the defensive end). I also want to see progress by Lyles and Rodney (potential go to scorer). Lyles has already raised my expectations with his play in summer league

Making the playoffs and not getting swept in the first round, tbh. That'll be mega deflating and Gordon will be as good as gone.

If we stay relatively healthy and end up getting swept in the first round then maybe Hayward isn't that great and we shouldn't be paying him the max anyway.

I mean everyone talks about this year being a big year for the jazz to convince hayward to stay.

But isn't it also a big year for Hayward to convince the jazz that they should want to keep/max him?

If the jazz stay healthy and we get swept in the first round then wouldn't that probably mean Hayward isn't good enough to be a max player and the face of the team/franchise? Isn't hill, exum, mack, hood, burks, joe johnson, ingles, favors, lyles, gobert, diaw, withey a good enough supporting cast around Hayward to get to the second round?
If we stay healthy and get swept in round one then why should we think Hayward can lead us to a championship or near championship.

This is a big year for Hayward imo. He has a lot to prove. Show me that you are an all star. Show me that you can take the jazz deep in they playoffs. Shoot better than 35% from 3 and 43% from the field. Earn that max contract.

That's a great way to look at it.
 
Minimum Expectation:

Play good, watchable basketball. We have shored up our PG spot, and added veterans who can score. It is time to run better sets instead of screen and roll at the top of the key with everyone standing around.

For someone who is thee eternal optimist about anything and everything on Jazzfanz (that's a compliment btw), I am disappointed in you. Just getting to the playoffs and losing in 6 or 7 games? We should've made it last year despite a zillion injuries and no bench. We're going to be healthy, have an insanely good bench, vets to keep us poised in big games, and can't be any ****tier in close games this year as we were last.

65 wins or bust bitches!!!

Hop aboard.

Choo Choo!!!

This is basement expectations, y'know.


The homer in me doesn't see any team as a threat other than the Warriors in the western conference.

Not a single one.
 
No lower than 6 seed(I think they'll battle for 4th and first round HC). At least second round.
 
I'm sure I am with the majority in my minimal expectations.
Make the playoffs and have a competitive series is the ABSOLUTE minimum, anything less and I begin to worry about this roster.
But really I wanna see this team in the 4-6 seed and pull an upset and get to the second round.
Injuries of course can change my expectations
 
I like a lot of the positive posts in this thread. Let us all hope that the Jazz realize these hopes.
