Last year the Jazz came out hot only to fall off a bit at the end with significant losing streaks in January, March, and April. This years crew seems to be just the opposite. They still started hot but had their struggles in December only to get hot in January. My question to you guys is do you think they'll keep it going February-April? And the Jazz are only 4.5 games out of 1st in the west. How high do you think they're going to go to finish the season now?

They seem to be efforting harder on defense now. I think they'll continue at a 60-70% win rate.

I think this year's team is better than last years other than December. I also think they will stay in the 60-70% range

I think we'll finish the year strong. We seem to have our swagger back and we're playing good again. My guess is we'll finish the year with 50-54 wins, somewhere in there.

The Jazz need 22 wins to make it to 50. I took a look at their schedule and there are about 20 games that the Jazz SHOULD win, that is, home games against weak to middle of the road teams and away games versus easy teams.

they could easily exceed that.

54 win season.

This year, we have an effective, motivated Kirilenko. That alone should help us win more games, but "should" doesn't feed the bulldog, as they used to say.

Hard to believe a Jazz team would need more mental toughness, but that seems to be the theme this season. Here's hoping we've learned our lessons from those ugly losses.

At this point we need to go 22-13 to finish where we did last yr, which is crazy considering we were 16-16 at one point.

numbers aside, I feel like we are a better team this year and we will fall in to our own - its just a matter of working out the chemistry.

same **** diff day

Its insane how different this team is with korver, unbelievable really. Wheres that trade thread so we can so who was bitching about the trade, and about how great giri is???

This year is much better with a much improved Brewer, Miles has improved some too, AK is back (well to some degree), Williams and Boozer are a little better, and now we have Korver who's probably been the biggest difference of all. Losing Fisher hurts some cause he provided us with a pretty solid backup PG, but then again he was a bad shooter for the most part. He was very clutch to start the season, then sank deep, until his heroics in the playoffs (and that was not even for many games). Seriously outside of losing Dee Brown who I really loved in the playoffs, I don't think we lost much, and we've improved in many other ways.

I don't know who'd win, but I know that I'd pay some serious $$$ to see it.
