    Or they will be going fishing real soon. Not only are the jazz one of the hottest teams; now they have a lottery ticket in dante exum. Even the refs won't be able to stop it.

    It will also be extremely funny to see Kerr and his "pronouncement" that Curry will be out the first round. I want to see how committed he is to that.

    Given what's track record, I now fully expect the Warriors to sweep the Jazz in the first round by 30+ per game.

    Utah lacks the firepower

    u can get away with Rubio’s lack of shooting and scoring ability in the regular season, but during the playoffs, stuff like that gets exploited and exposed

    Donovan Mitchell has had a great rookie year, but the playoffs are a different animal. Can he be efficient? Can he handle the burden of being Utah’s #1 option as a rookie in his 1st ever playoff series?

    Utah’s only hope is if Klay, Draymond, and the rest of the Warrior’s role players really struggle and it basically comes down to KD having to beat them by himself...Utah’s defense is good enough to bring KD’s efficiency down to human levels and make things very difficult for him

    what probably has the worst track record in the history of the interwebs. Put down good money that the Warriors, no matter who is injured, will sweep the Jazz now.

    i'd rather see them play okc in the first round without steph. okc either wins or it goes to 7.

    even in the warriors pull it out they have another 6-7 game series coming up against the blazers. the more games they play the more worn down they'll be against us.

    I think we need to be more worried about who we'll play in the 1st rd than worrying about who the Warriors may play.

    I kinda like this take but for different reasons. Without Curry the Jazz can play Gobert the entire game without fear of Curry making him unplayable from forcing constant switches. I think the Warriors still win without Curry but the Jazz make life tough for them with physical defense and a hard fought series, something they aren't used to in round 1.

    Jazz are most likely going to wind up 4 or 5 seed. And as such would have an excellent chance at facing us in the second round.
