3-0 So Far? Playoffs a Possibility?

[The White T-mac]

They are doing great. 3-0 already. They didnt even win that many games back in 05-06. I think they will take the Grizzlies place from last year. Deron Williams is probably ready to contribute, and Ak47's defense is only getting better.

[DTP]

I don't think it's such a big deal that they're 3-0 I think the big deal is the opponents that they have beat. I mean Houston who I think is a sleeper, Phoenix on the road, and Golden State. 3 very big wins IMO and I think it will give them confidence if they can continue to get big wins later in the season and maybe they will be a nice 7 or 8 seed team.

Utah will make the playoffs, most likly they'll knock Denver out.

[DTP]

Nah, I think Denver is still good. Denver is still the best team in this division IMO but they can't fool around too long and let Minnesota or Utah creep on up them and surprise them.

[rednecksbasketball]

Denver has been having problems on the defensive end, they've been letting up way to many teams. Denver also isn't as deep as Utah or Minnesota, so if they get a slight injury it could harm them more than Utah or Minnesota.

Pistons play Utah tomorrow so i'll get my first real look at their team this season so i'll be able to form more of an opinion after actually seeing them play.

Pistons-Jazz is usually a fun matchup, especially if you like defensive basketball.

That's my biggest concern about them also. Every year they don't get as far as they could because injuries usually hurt them.

Well the Jazz are now 4-0 after beating Detroit tonight.

[Camby]

I know. I saw that game on the highlights. It was a hard fought one too. Mehmet Okur came up big with that game-winning block on Rip Hamilton's layup. Andre Kirilenko hit Carlos Boozer with a decent no-look pass & everyone contributed well offensively & defensively to pull it off.

[DTP]

There was some tough calls last night especially late into the game and those 3 techs called on detroit were BS but Utah played well and won. Still don't know why Nazr didn't play the 4th qrt after dice made mistake after mistake after mistake.

[rednecksbasketball]

Well after winning tonight vs the Sonics the Jazz are 8-1. best record in the NBA.

Yea, that's a pretty tough thing to deal with because sometimes Mcdyess can come in and play really well and then sometimes he can play very bad. So maybe just because flip knows what Mcdyess CAN do he keeps him in there.
