Less than a month into the NBA season, the dust of off-season hype, unyielding roster confidence, and unrealistic expectations have yet to settle across the league. At this point, paper tigers rule the conference standings, twitter fingers move at the speed of light, and overreactions to every win, loss, or Adrian Wojnarowski report hold more water than they should.
Still, the Utah Jazz, as much as anyone else in the league, should be happy with how their season has started. Standing atop the western conference standings with a record of 7-1, the Jazz have found themselves dominating the regular season (much how they did last season), all while having failed to put together a complete game thus far.
