Experts are looking at the Jazz to be an elite competitive side for the Rockets, but what we do seem to forget is that Houston is the same team that would have easily beaten GSW in the West Finals last year had Chris Paul not been injured.

Utah's pillars in Donovan Mitchell (averaging 23.8 ppg) and Rudy Gobert might not be enough to hold the avalanche that the Beard brings with him in the postseason. Having scored more than 36 points a game this year, Harden doesn't look like he's stopping anytime soon.
With the team physically fit and running on all pistons, there's nothing much that comes to mind that screams positivity for Utah's future in the playoffs.
Prediction: The Rockets will finish off the Jazz in five games, if not earlier.
