Utah Jazz (Petre Thomas-USA TODAY Sports)
The Utah Jazz, per Positive Residual, were blessed by the Basketball Gods with the easiest schedule in the NBA this upcoming season. However, in the National Basketball Association, “easiest” is a very relative term. Nothing is easy.
The Jazzmen will still have to handle the Association’s most talented outfits if they hope to repeat the feat of finishing the regular season with the NBA’s best record. By all means, Head Coach Quin Snyder’s troops are well-positioned to win that battle, with the Utah Jazz’s front office having spent this offseason making smart, marginal upgrades to last year’s league-best 52-20 squad.
