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.
You're right. The Jazz's performance has been really awful lately, considering they've only won 3 of their last 10 games. However, it's worth noting that the Jazz is still in 7th place in the Western Conference standings, and it means that if the Jazz's head coach finds a way to improve the performance of the players, the Jazz will still have a chance to reach the playoffs since the end of the regular season is still a long way off.
It was fools gold they were never destined to be a top team just had a hot start. They are stacking draft picks so I'm sure they like to see them end up in the lottery. This team going to the playoffs does nothing but ensure mediocrity. They gave up once they parted with gobert and spida.
Safe to say that they just got lucky to be sitting at the top of the conference when almost every team in the league are still struggling and adjusting or taking their time while the season have just started. But now that teams are starting to get their sense, their rank dropped in just a week which is not that surprising because they are not that deep enough to compete with the heavy teams on the league. In time, when they reached the right depth and know each other's strengths and weakness, they will be a heavy time just like how the Boston Celtics started.
If they will continue to develop these young talents and they will not be part of any trading actions, Jazz can be an interesting team to watch out,
they are now falling from the standing since heavy favorite teams are now catching up.
We know that once those super-teams start to improve their offensive and defensive attacks, the chance of winning is high, maybe for now Jazz
chance to the playoff still alive,
but in terms of reaching semis it might be tough for them, but who knows?
Yes, it's not yet decided if they cannot really qualify towards the semis or playoffs. Sometimes, there are things that will happen unexpectedly, let's enjoy the season and see if the newly rebuilt Jazz can reach that far. What is good is that we already know their capabilities, they will take advantage while the opposing team are showing some weakness. Moreover, if they can't make it this season, they're still good because next season they will be back with more experience and their bond is much deeper than the recent season.
