I hope they make it, too, but right now I'd be happy if our new coach could find a way to win a game.
I'm also curious to see if there is a team leader now that Deron's gone. Devin Harris? I doubt it. AK, no. Big Al? Doesn't seem the type. And I'm sure Raja's heard he's heading to Minnesota this summer.

The Jazz' pick is top 16 protected this year, so it's possible to make the playoffs and have the #15 or #16 pick...best of both worlds.
Here's the rundown on the full protection of the pick owed to Minnesota: "2011 – top 16 protected, 2012 – top 14 protected, 2013 – top 16 protected, 2014 – Minnesota has right to swap first round picks with Jazz (top 9 protected) OR Minnesota will receive the Jazz’s 2014 second round pick to complete the deal."
Well I don't see them making it. Both Portland and OKC got better. Denver has a lot of new guys and are already 2-0. I think Denver is the team that is going to surprise everyone because they have a lot of talent and they no longer have to deal with the Carmelo drama. Memphis has been playing great and add Battier. Once Gay gets back they will be a tough eight seed.
The biggest reason why I feel the Jazz won't make the playoff is because they have shown zero toughness the last 17 games. I am excited about Harris and Evans but remember the Jazz lost DW production so how are they going to be that much better. Oh yea I forgot AK is finally set free..
The tough schedule doesn't help. I wouldn't be surprised if the Jazz dropped a couple spots. I am more concerned about get our young guys playing time and developing a style of play. The Jazz can always use more talent because our bench is horrible and who knows which veterans are going to be back.
I rather have two more rookies than bring back Price, Elson and even Fess or CJ. I hope the Jazz can trade CJ/Bell for a nice wing or picks. If we are going to rebuild then lets follow OKC way of rebuilding.
