The Warriors may not have the overall talent the Jazz have, but they have two 3-time NBA champions in Steph Curry and Draymond Green that know how to get the job done in the playoffs, while also having the best player in that series (Curry.)
If the Jazz end falling a few positions to the 3 or 4 seed, there are also matchup problems in that section of the standings. The Nuggets knocked out the Jazz last year, and the Phoenix Suns have tremendous leadership with Chris Paul, and some great young talent that is hungry for playoff action.
Needless to say, no matter what team the Jazz end up playing in the first round, they will have their work cut out for them. While it is entirely possible they make some noise in the playoffs, it will take some monster performances from Donovan Mitchell to make that happen. If any of the core players from the Jazz have lackluster play, they may not have the depth necessary to make up for any losses in production, which would mean game over for any hopes of making it far through the bracket.
