There are three rather distinct, divergent ways to process and view what the Jazz have achieved to the halfway point of their season, 41 games in, and to figure what it means for the second half.
1. Extreme optimists. The Jazz are just getting started, just getting ready to rumble, and start and rumble and finish they will. Even though the Jazz have, at times, shot the ball as though it were a bag of sand, that ball will yet often spin softly through forgiving rims. Fifty wins are attainable, no matter that they would require the Jazz to finish 30-11 through the back half.
