It's time to stop underrating the Utah Jazz

SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Jazz have the best record in the NBA and have only lost one out of the last 12 games. They became the quickest team to hit 500 3-pointers in a season (31 games) and have two All-Stars in Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert.

The second half of the NBA schedule was revealed Wednesday, and the Jazz have the easiest second-half schedule based on opponents' win percentage. All signs point to the Jazz finishing first in the Western Conference. Still, there are fans and analysts, like Shaquille O'Neal, who continue to doubt the Jazz have what it takes to bring the first championship to the franchise.
