Are the Utah Jazz “built for the regular season” but not the playoffs?

The Utah Jazz have done a good job reloading following the massive trade seasons of 2022-2023. They have seemingly found their offensive anchor in Lauri Markkanen, their defensive anchor in Walker Kessler, and hopefully, a new head coach in Will Hardy to lead the way. The hope is that this Jazz team is ready to compete and win, and 43+ wins are the goal for this season in the eyes of many.

But one ex-Jazz assistant coach, Gordie Chiesa, isn’t sure that whatever success the Jazz obtain in the regular season, it’ll translate to the post-season.
