The Utah Jazz missed the Western Conference playoffs by seven games last season after posting a lackluster 38-44 record. Yet, the young squad showed enough promise down the stretch to believe they have a chance to make a stronger push toward the postseason during the 2015-16 campaign.
Utah went 21-11 over its final 32 games. That equates to a .656 winning percentage, which would have been good enough to win the Northwest Division or claim the tougher conference's seventh seed if maintained over the entire season. That's why there's reason for optimism.
