Should be thinking title or bust. If they lose in the 2nd round they need to at least make it a series this time

According to Jason Scrubb, about 15 NBA teams have contacted John A. Logan coach Kyle Smithpeters to ask about Jay. Representatives from the Utah Jazz and Detroit Pistons visited the campus in Carterville, Illinois, last week; the Atlanta Hawks will be there this week.

Tony Jones: Quin Snyder said today was a good first practice. He observed a lot, taught less

Eric Walden: Mike Conley went through a portion of practice but left early due to an allergic reaction. It is not considered serious.

[QUOTE]Donovan Mitchell, following an injury-free summer, is ready to lead the Utah Jazz into a much-hyped season

He's not their leader though as much as everyone seems to want him to be:wtf:

[QUOTE]That same day the Detroit Bad Boys raved again (from a different writer) about the Utah Jazz, this time considering Donovan Mitchell to be an MVP candidate for this upcoming season. I’m impressed their site wrote articles centered on the Jazz twice in the same week! Are we sure they are really Pistons fans?
[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]Eric Walden: Mike Conley, on the benefits of playing with Rudy Gobert:

[QUOTE]SALT LAKE CITY — The summer brought a somewhat significant philosophical shift for the Utah Jazz.
[/QUOTE]

Yeah they finally decided to build around their best player with guys that actually fit around him. :rant

[QUOTE]This switch is primed to have an effect on Gobert on both ends of the floor. On defense, where the Frenchman has been named the NBA’s best player two years in a row, he’ll no longer have a second excellent rim protector in Favors to share those duties with (Utah’s new backup center, Ed Davis, noted earlier this week that the plan is to not have him and the Stifle Tower play much together).
[/QUOTE]

I think there will be less turnovers and long misses and the transition D will improve. No longer having the matador should help as well. More Royce.

The defensive twin towers look Favors gave the Jazz when he started with Rudy Gobert was immeasurable. When talking about Derrick Favors replacements, it
