NBA Power Rankings: Is it time to start talking about San Antonio Spurs?

Utah Jazz. 8. team. 118. Health and injuries are finally done trying to ruin the Utah Jazz’s season and they have responded by ascending back towards the upper half of the Western Conference standings as many had projected before the season. They’ve gone 11-2 in their last 13 games after being one game below .500, and have won seven of their last eight games as well. While the long adage of don’t let success go to your head holds true most times, Rudy Gobert clearly doesn’t have time for adages and sayings. He believes he is the best center in the NBA and he’s going to let the whole world know about it. They have the athletes, length, and defense to give the Golden State Warriors trouble if they were to ever meet up in a playoff series. The Jazz can play up to 10 guys every night and not suffer any letdown or setbacks because of their deeper rotation. They are starting to take form as the team no one wants to face in the postseason. The Jazz are going to be a tough out regardless of where they finish in the standings this season.. 18-10.
