Worst team in the NW Division, Jazz or T-Wolves?

Our division is stacked at the top with OKC, Denver, and Portland. All three teams will be fighting for home-court in the first round of the playoffs. Before the start of the season I was pretty confident that Jazz would place 4th. After watching the start of the season, and every Jazz and T-Wolves game, I'm starting to get a little worried that we are going to finish in the cellar. Both teams are 2-3 right now, but the Jazz beat the 76ers and the Hornets while the Wolves beat San Antonio and Dallas (while losing to both Miami and OKC by only a couple points each). Adelman has obviously made a huge difference, but Love is far better than any player we currently have on the roster. Just wanted to get everyone's thoughts on if we can avoid being the worst team in the division.

Anyone know the last time we finished last in the North West?

The Jazz will finish last in the NW. Rick is doing a wonderful job over there and I wish we would have given him a shot instead of immediately crowning Corbin as the heir to the Sloan throne. I'm not a big Corbin hater (for now at least), I just think there were some good, proven coaches on the market that we should have considered.
 
I watched couple Miny games so far and they look like better team then the Jazz. Of course it is early and it can change, but so far it looks like Miny has upper hand.
 
Probably say we will be last which this year is probably not such a bad thing. Rubio looks to be the real deal and Love is pretty awesome. It kills me that Memphis should have had him instead end up with Mayo. Argghhhh!!!

Their offense is certainly easier on the eyes! Very fun to watch. Jazz just look confused and timid under Corbin.
 
we have better players than MINNY but we have the worst coach in the league so the JAZZ will be last in the division thanks to Corbin,but the only good news is at least TY will lead us to a top 5 pick.
 
I've been fan of K.Love since he's UCLA days and D-Will is only going to continue to improve at the next level, Beasley has got some competition for a starting spot.Rubio is already better than people expected. Throw in guys like Anthony Randolph, JJ Barea, Wes Johnson off the bench you have a pretty solid team. that said I think the jazz will be better than people on here expect, so the division will be tight. jazz just need time....to get rid of raja bell and improve the young talent.

That's the crazy thing. When we are talking about the JAZZ being last in the division, it shows how good and competitive our division is now. Best division in the NBA?

It's early, but it looks like it when you consider that OKC will fight for best record in the league, Blazers & Nuggets will be playoff teams, T-Wolves & Jazz have great young talent that should surprise people, one of those teams could sneak into the playoffs.

Ya Rubio is the real deal. He's all the hype. I wish we had him. It might not be long before he is known as the best passer in the league.

I also think it is possible that Minnesota ends up better than Denver and Portland

Not good new Orleans and that pick they got.
 
i known ricky rubio for years,and i really like the Kid,,problem with him is he starts everything really really good,but at the end he sucks big time,,just like in the spainish national team or in Barcelona,and i do hope his end in Minesotta wont be like that,,most of the people say he is better fit for the NBA and he started really good,but when i look at rubio's past,it scares me
