Still a shock to me that we are seeing Utah playing the way they can. I honestly expected them to be the type of team that would start 2-20 and then finish the season with like 20-62 type of results, or 24-58 whatever, like not more than 30 wins at all. By the looks of it they are on the path to do that. Is this good? Or is this actually bad for them?

Obviously this is good for the Jazz at this point, they didn't tank and winning games and the numbers, we all thought that they will not make it because they overhaul their roster, but it's the opposite.

I think of it as something not that good at all. When they've been playing well at the beginning and then get to have some curb in the midst of it. Anyway, they are still playing well and what's not good is for the teams that are at the bottom, they'll surely be removed when the playoffs will come. What was that round again like the wild card before the playoffs? IIRC, there's that type of round and it's before the actual elimination of the teams, I've forgotten what it's called with the format.

It's a problem a lot of teams sit with. Just good enough or mediocre enough to land the 7 or 8 slot in the playoffs but not good enough to win. Downside is never being able to land a top tier prospect always drafting 10-20. Utah is a tough place yo land a Marque star so they rely on drafting well. I hate tanking but I think that is their plan. They can't win long term with this team they have.
