The Three-Point Threat Podcast is finally back with a look at the Utah Jazz’s current playoff hopes, what they need to do to improve after this year and a preview of the week ahead!

After a lengthy absence, the Three-Point Threat Podcast is finally back on TheJNotes.com! A lot has changed for the Utah Jazz since the last show as the team looks to make a push into the playoffs. Although they had been stuck in tenth place for what felt like forever, with the San Antonio Spurs’ loss on Monday, the Jazz finally find themselves in eighth and should only surge from there.

With that being the case, for Point 1, I take a look at the Jazz’s current playoff situation and my predictions on where they’ll end up if they make it in.

Then, although the Jazz are playing phenomenal basketball right now, I think we all know that it’s safe to say that they have further steps to take before they can truly be considered a championship contender. With that being the case, for Point 2, I give my thoughts on where Utah needs to improve in order to make the leap from playoff hopeful to title hopeful.

Quick side note – silly me in Point 2 I forgot to mention Dante Exum, but obviously his return to form (he’s planning to be back in action this week!) will play a huge role in Utah’s improvement down the road as well!

Last of all, as had been the norm on the Three-Point Threat, I take a brief look at the week ahead for the Jazz and weigh in with my thoughts and predictions.

The podcast is available below as well as on Blog Talk Radio:
