NBA Power Rankings: Will the Warriors ever lose again?

Previous: . Utah Jazz. 12. team. 118. The Utah Jazz are a much better team than their record says. However, your record is your record and for that the Jazz sit just a few ticks away from a top 10 spot that they probably deserve based on talent. Quin Snyder has this team performing at a high-level once again and it’s only a matter of time before they start running off a string of wins that helps their record reflect just how dangerous of a team they are. The Jazz are another team that has taken the “sum is greater than the parts” approach in the league and watching it payoff beautifully. They might not have one player that is on par with the Stephen Curry’s, Kevin Durant’s, Klay Thompson’s or Draymond Green’s of the NBA (it still blows my mind that those four players are on the same team, like c’mon CBA you were supposed to keep this from happening!), but they can legitimately go 10 or 11 deep on most nights and that type of depth will allow them to win some games that they otherwise would have had no business being part of. Gordon Hayward and Derrick Favors are the keys for this team and as long as they stay healthy than this is a team that could give any of the West’s top three–Golden State Warriors, San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Clippers–a tough test in a playoff series.. 10-8
