Jazz won’t get swept in first round. They do need to guard against complacency..

especially because they have not played many fully healthy contenders at this point in the season. They’ve played and beaten a few, but the sample size is not too big.

Unpopular opinion but I can’t help but feel that the Jazz

Perhaps. But I don’t think the Jazz are playing harder, just smarter. They are winning on percentages.

It may be unpopular, but it's not original. Many have expressed those same

I think the Jazz are quite a bit more talented than the 2015 Hawks.

I see the jazz more like the great warrior teams

Jazz are not overplaying guys. They aren't playing ridiculous minutes or

Yes. The shooting is sustainable because we get so many wide open looks

Also, the Jazz have won several games in which they didn't shoot well.

The two biggest concerns for the Jazz (IMO) are 1) I think the smartest NBA

Good points. Rudy has gotten way better at staying out of foul trouble

ballen

2/26/21 4:56pm

Gobert is really good at not fouling. But I also think that many guys are

That’s the most exciting thing to me. They can win by shooting 3s, by dominating

ballen

2/26/21 4:55pm

If Gobert is healthy the Jazz will be really good.

The NBA changes in the playoffs when refs change their approach.

I think there are two big questions for the Jazz in the playoffs:

How do they attack the switching teams?

The question will be if they can do this more efficiently than other teams.

The Hawks thing is so stupid. The Jazz are on pace to well out pace the Hawks’

No offense, but this is the worst comparison. Here is why:

Can they still get the penetration and kickouts in iso situations?

PHXSUNS31

2/26/21 5:08pm

Not really, because the Jazz are better defensively. For reference, the Rockets' RPI during the Harden Heyday was

I’d agree, the hawks aren’t a good comparison. I think mid 2010 Spurs is better

PHXSUNS31

2/26/21 5:05pm

That comparison I can handle. I'm not claiming the Jazz waltz to the title. I'm also not guaranteeing that the Jazz even

Ya I agree, it’s lazy. The Jazz are killing teams. Truth be told it’s uncharted

PHXSUNS31

2/26/21 5:21pm

I think the 2018 Raptors are the best comparison

I think the Lakers may have a tough time defending the Jazz 3 point attack

Point of clarification, Hawks got swept in ECF by Lebron and the Cavs

The Jazz are arguably the most well constructed, balanced roster in the NBA.

Clippers, Nets, biggest obstacles.

If you look at the underlying numbers the 60 win Hawks team is not a good

I am not alone. Glad others feel same about Jazz breaking hearts
