I have to assume you're kidding. The Jazz would be battling for an 8th seed if Deron Williams was doing as well as Chris Paul. AK-47 is their only star (and he's injury prone). Carlos Boozer's ass is basically cemented to the bench. And... other than that, they don't have anybody close to taking them to another level. The Jazz are a long way off.

With a better pg they should be fighting for a 5th-6th seed, and they play in the worst division of the conference, so they could be the 3rd seed (winning the division title), even if they're not one of the top 3 teams in the conference.

He we go again about Mehmet Okur...

Okur's having a career season, but it doesn't mean he'd be performing like this under other circumstances. Look at his career stats. Rebounding? Good. Scoring? Eh, decent. His %'s tell the whole story. He's never shot this well in his career, which means he'll plumet sooner or later. Good seasons happen, but it doesn't instantly mean that the player is "very good". Okur's numbers will stabilize next year.
This is Okur's furth season only........... he has never got so much court time............ shooting like he has his whole career, just has the opportunity to take more shots.
