In the latest rendition of The J-Notes Blast Podcast, I took some time to measure the Utah Jazz’s competition in the Western Conference and predict how each opponent would stack up. It was an extremely difficult exercise given the talent and depth found in the Western Conference, particularly with there being several teams likely worthy of a playoff spot but, of course, only eight openings.
Because it was so much to unwrap, I wanted to be sure to also get my thoughts down on paper, so to speak, by dissecting the Western Conference even further and aiming to project just how the standings will play out come season’s end, which is exactly what I’ve done here.
