With 20 days remaining until the team’s regular season opener, the Utah Jazz already have fans grooving to the sweet sounds of a playoff tune. While it’s too early to speculate on postseason happenings, there’s definitely something about the fabric of the team, its coaching staff and the organization that screams playoffs.
Many NBA pundits and writers have the Jazz fighting for the eighth spot, but the franchise remains focused on development. Making the playoffs is obviously the first step on the road to a championship, but development is the base for years of dominance.
The Jazz need to continue to get better; if a playoff berth comes this season as a result, then that’s great.
