I doubt most are. Is this Jazz team good enough to make the playoffs? I think they probably are. However, the West is so tough as you mentioned. Plus the team is still young. And it will come down to a few games difference. Winning close games will be the difference. Not sure if the Jazz have enough shot makers.
On the flipside, the defense will always be good. And that is a lot more reliable than offense. So they have a shot. But a sure thing, not hardly.
(I'm a season ticket holder for the first time, so I'm definitely hoping this is the year they get back)
