Is it time to start talking finals appearances?

Right now, the Jazz are on pace to win about 58 games with the win % that they have now.

The first time the Jazz got to the finals, they won 62 games.

I'm not talking this season, but when do you guys think it's time to start talking deep playoff runs, finals appearances, or championships for this core of players? Deron, Kirilenko, Boozer and Okur are all still REALLY young. I'd say if the Jazz are in the conference finals within 3 years, it's a success.

Funny that last year we were just hoping to get into the playoffs, too. This team sure did spring quickly, and we all know that Deron, AK, Boozer and Okur are only getting better and smarter. Not to mention our bench rocks this season, and doesn't seem to be going anywhere soon.

Bravo, Jazz!

Re: Is it time to start talking finals appearances?

I think it is not too early to talk about finals in the future. I say 5 more years and this team could be easily a contender if not sooner. This team is VERY young. Props to Kevin O'connor for making it happen!

If the jazz are good by that time, the players will resign since Fisher and Harprings contract will be up by the time.

Re: Is it time to start talking finals appearances?

Honestly, In my opinion the Jazz are a shooting guard away from the WCF. if the Jazz can add a good veteran shooting, via trade or Free agentcy next year, I could see them in the WCF. the Jazz would stand a fair chance at making it this year if everything fell in order. if the Jazz end up with a top 2 record in the west, so that they have home court, and they face teams which they matchup well against, than there is a slight possibility that they make it.

If the Jazz win 60 games this season it would be a crazy improvement.

From 26 wins, to 41 wins, to 60 wins.
