As for the Jazz, they aren't really doing good and they are about to jeopardize their chance to be in the NBA playoffs this season. Imagine how they failed to maintain their spot for just a week, getting knockout from the playoff tree because of losing streaks.
It's too early to conclude, once Conley will comeback and they still struggle, then maybe we can conclude that they will not likely make it to the playoffs this season. But whatever we think, Jazz are still a surprising team because they are expected to tank this season and yet we are seeing a very competitive Jazz team.
I agree that they are doing better than most expected after offloading Gobert and Mitchell before the season started. I won't be surprised or be disappointed if they do not make it to the play-in tournament but at least they're making a run for it unlike other teams that only looks good on paper.
