The Jazz have the least chance to win out of the Top 5 Teams of the WEST. Mavs, Suns, and Spurs are tied for the best chance, Everyone else, then the JAZZ. Trust me, I grew up in Utah and watched the Stockton and Malone ERA come and go. IF the JAZZ had any shot at winning the Chamionship it was the only 2 years that they made it to the Finals. Other then that, they are at best a good WESTERN Conference team.

Wow.... That was very well put, but I completely disagree.
Remember the old cliche, "Offense wins you games, but defense wins you championships."
Teams play series in the playoffs... If you play the same opponents for so many games in the row, you can make adjustments between each game to ensure victories. What kind of adjustments am I referring to? They are all defensive ones. When your team is 80% offense and 20% defense playing against a team 70% focused on defense.... winning 4 game is much tougher than you think.
Do you recall last year playoff? PHX against a balanced Lakers and then against a more defensive-oriented Clippers. Both series went to 7 games.....
Take what you will from those series, but Utah stands a great chance in the playoffs.
Honestly, the ONLY problem I see is the fouling. Why in the world are the Jazz fouling so much???
