jazz win it all

its true imo

In a season where the West is not to far apart 1 throught 8 and the East has 3 legit playoff teams. The Jazz resemble a true TEAM more so then any team in the leauge as of now. Most have crowned the Lakers allready in the West and "experts" only mention the Spurs as an option.

The Jazz have not had thier whole starting roster on the floor but 5 games this year yet are 37-23 just behind Blazers and Nuggets and now have all thier pieces back. , Jazz would mean much more at a #5 seed rather then #7 which they are currently but the Jazz have alot going for them going into the playoffs;

-one of the best point guards in the game in Deron Williams

-an amazingly deep team and bench with multiple, above average, veteran role players like Andrei Kirilenko, Ronnie Brewer, Paul Millsap and Matt Harpring

-quality outside shooting with Kyle Korver, Mehmet Okur , Matt Harpring and Deron Williams will make teams pay for poor perimeter defense

-now the addition of Carlos Boozer back in the lineup gives them yet another scoring threat on the floor

- Mehmet Okurs ability to shoot 3's (averaging 46.5% from 3) at center will pull out players like Pau Gasol/Bynum out of the lane wich really opens up thing for Deron Williams and AK47 to thrive

-They have one of the Best Coach's in the NBA in Jerry Sloan

-An incredible homecourt advantage
.

For a team with so much fire power and so much success, its amazing how they get left out of the mix. They have had injury problems all year and are now healthy at the right time and will have a dramatic effect on how they play on the road from here out.

The unfortunate passing of the great owner Larry Miller will motivate this team even more, with all that they have gone through. The Utah Jazz are a sleeping giant.

Jazz beat Cavs in 7

i think Utah can get out of the west but in my opinion they'd need the lakers to lose to someone earlier, if LA gets knocked out in the first or second round which is rather unlikely Utah would become probably be the best team left in the west.

could happen, NBA is really weak this year. Don't think Cavs are ready to win it, Kobe and Phil ruined their legacy last year, and the Celtics are not doing as well against west teams and Marbury is a cancer. Orlando isn't the same without Nelson.
