Nearly all Jazz fans were begging for the Jazz to land the Denver Nuggets in the first round. No one wanted to see James Harden or Chris Paul in the playoffs yet again. We were all looking for some fresh faces and a favorable matchup. Well, Utah took advantage of it and closed out the series in just 5 games.
Lest we forget, (almost) nobody saw this coming. Everyone thought the Jazz were down and out without Bojan Bogdonovic for the playoffs and Mike Conley for the first 3 games.
