It’s amazing what this jazz, believed to be dead, can do. In the offseason there was still the big sell-off – where really everything, really everything that was of rank and repute was sold – and now it’s still the front runner?
In any case, this is the unbelievable reality that NBA fans find themselves in after just seven weeks of play. With a record of 12 wins and 7 losses, no franchise in the entire Western Conference does better.
With the Pistons, Utah is now getting an opponent in front of its fists, who, as is well known, has had nothing to report in the NBA for years. The Pistons are even edging towards their eighth loss in a row!
This wildly mixed no-name jazz is currently so successful that even seasoned teams fear it – Utah played eleven of their total of 18 games this season against franchises with a positive record.
That the Salt Lake City-based franchise was able to win eight of those games against the crème de la crème of the NBA speaks for itself. Compared to what they’ve shown against the Suns and Trail Blazers recently, the Pistons should be a piece of cake.
Attention fans of long-term bets: Because in the next section I will reveal a statistic that suggests a daring conclusion, which, however, according to the laws of numbers, should be crowned with success.
