Utah (Injuries, down 20 to the Blazers mid of 3rd) Phoenix (horrible defensive effort, losing to bad teams) Dallas (one night great, next night horrible) Rocket should take advantage of this
I think we are already ahead of all three of threes. I think it was pretty obvious none of those teams (except Utah) were going to do anything this season.
Stuff like this is part of why I started the thread on East vs. West. Some people can't grasp that teams like the Suns, Mavs and Jazz just aren't that good this year. But it's 2009, not 2007.
The Jazz will be fine. They always play their best ball in the 2nd half of the season and in the playoffs. Phoenix hasn't been relevant since they traded Marion and Dallas hasn't been the same since they got embarrassed by the Warriors and traded Devin Harris.
