team. 118. “With Rudy Gobert shelved for at least a month, the Jazz could fall out of the playoff picture quickly in the West. If Gobert heals slowly, does Utah embrace the tank?”. . . Utah Jazz. 24

West Ranking: 12th

Again, we find the Jazz ranked below the Lakers (22). In an attempt to kick us while we’re down, Sports Illustrated’s power rankings also have the Nets ranked 23. Remember, we just beat this team 114-106 without Gobert.

Tanking?

After Utah’s tough home losses to Philadelphia and Miami, Jazz twitter started to question the possibility of Utah taking a page out of the 76ers book and “trusting the process”. I saw a number of tweets featuring the hashtag “#TankNote”.

C’mon, Jazz fans. Things may seem bleak right now, but I believe Coach Snyder will find a way to get the most out of this current roster and keep them in the playoff hunt all year.
