Utah Jazz hoping team cohesion, not contract issues, prove key

Why does this article have to start out talking about next summer? I don't understand why the media has to talk about the negative at this time when the season for this year is just starting.

I belive the Jazz will once again get into the playoffs. They will not get into the finals. This will be the last season in Utah for Boozer, and Korver, Okur is still a maybe.

why print an article about it if the players themselves don't want to talk about it. the media is always trying to make bigger issues of things than they really are.

The Jazz will make the playoffs, and if they can play the suffocating defense (they played at times last year) for 48 minutes a game they have all the pieces to win the title.

The jazz are ok, but the Utes are the best. Write your articles about the utes, forget the jazz. Oh and BYU stinks

I agree Josh. The Jazz have all the offensive power a team needs to win it all. They lack that same intensity on the defensive end. I'm glad it sounds like they're starting to get that. If they can work equally as hard on defense and offense they have a shot! I'm really excited for this season to start.

I'm a ute fan to but college sports are second rate when it comes to the jazz. it unites us together unlike the whole pathetic byu/utah rivalry which just divides us.

Those dirty utes ha e nothing on the coug's! Go byu!

Just look at the camp roster.

Common sense tells you this team can't win a championship.

They don't have right pieces or the right system.

Never had in the over twenty five years I have watched them.

So Jazzsmack, enlighten us.

What are the "right pieces" and the right "system"?

Is there only one? Or are there just a few that are "wrong"?

Furthermore, you're telling me that they didn't have the right pieces or the right system when they were, very litteraly, a couple of baskets away from not one but two championships.

It does not appear that your argument is grounded in logic or reason.

But hey, I consider myself open minded, so convince me...
