The Jazz’s 2021 regular season performance has been overshadowed by their 2020 post season collapse. The analysts are quick to point this out in every championship contenders discussions.
However it is unfair to write them off based on last season’s performance. This is a different version of the team and arguably the best one. Pay attention

Yes the Jazz Head Coach Quin Snyder has adopted a system that has proven to work and deliver championships in the modern NBA. The players led by Donovan Mitchell have bought into the System.
Ball movement to create open looks at the basket has impacted the entire roster. Role players have the opportunity to get points and stay in rhythm taking some of the load off Donovan Mitchell.
A great defense completes the team. Rudy Gobert’s rebounding and rim protection is a major highlight in the defense. The ream as whole has stepped up on the defensive side of the ball.
The Utah Jazz are a legit title contender. It’s about time they get the respect they deserve
