I was thinking the same thing w/Jazz, RTG
UTAH looks to be a Year-or-Two AheadYet w/right Match-Up they could have been a real sleeperIronic they drew San AntonioSince the Jazz appear so parallel to LAST-YEARS' Memphis Grizzlies Team, At least stylistically, slotted 1ST RD vs. 1-Seeded San Antonio
Fingerprint for Utah:w/Jazz #2 Most Effective (Rated) FRONTCOURT #6 PER [4] MILSAP #3 PER [5] JEFFERSON AVG COMBINED 36 PPG | 18.5 Reb? Damn productive
Utah also w/Above Avg Frontcourt BENCHNon-Offensive Evans, a 10/7 'Big' w/Favors backing up Jefferson at [5]
Utah short on experience Yet energy at a PREMIUM this yr, Utah: 25.4 Avg Age Starter) IF....Jazz didn't have so many BACKCOURT Depth & Efficiency Issues&/or were catching THAT 2010-2011 Spurs Team on Cruise...Instead of THIS OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD 18-2 SAS Team (17-4 ATS) SAS Team Rested & Ready....Not to mention, DAZZLING EFFICIENCY
SAN ANTONIO 10 Game Win Streak 11 Consecutive Games w/More 3-Point FG's 10 Consecutive Games w/More Assists than Opp #1 NBA's BENCH (+12.1 Eff/Diff) #1 OFFENSIVE EFFICIENCY (1.105 O-PPP) #1 Three-Point Shooting (39%)
The List goes on...
Moreover...(can't hold back, esp as we read how 'OLD' Spurs are)SAS is NOT THAT Old...& SAS players that ARE Over 30 Yrs Old, Have played idyllically moderate 2011-2012 Season Min
#5 RATED NBA PF | DUNCAN: 28.2 Min/Gm this Season#2 RATED NBA SG | GINOBILI: 23.2 Min/Gm this Season
SAN ANTONIO STARTERS: [1] PARKER 29 Yrs Old [2] GREEN 24 Yrs Old [3] LEONARD 20 Yrs Old [4] DUNCAN 35 Yrs Old [5] BLAIR 22 Yrs Old
SAS STARTERS AVERAGE AGE? 26 YEARS OLD
San Antonio DID get older by adding 34-Year Old Stephen JacksonNEVERTHELESS70% (7 of 10) of San Antonio's TOP 10 MPG Players ARE UNDER 30-YEARS OLD
Boston?Dallas?Old as Dirt, by NBA Standards
To the Point, Utah facing this San Antonio Team May have had a Haymakers' Shot - LAST YEARThis Spurs Team appears remarkably driven...
I'd be more apt to take a calculated play w/ ¼ UNITSAN ANTONIO +500

ADDING: Utah quickly re-tooling w/youth movement & making PLAYOFFS despite losing the vast majority of their Franchise CORE (Okur \ Boozer \ Brewer), is inspiring...and proof-positive to those GM's (& over-reaching, control freak owners), that Teams do necessarily HAVE to Bottom Out to become competitive again (Memo to Paul Allen..we're paying attention - & we won't all pay 3 C's/game forever)
