He can be a great part of it, providing big numbers for them, but I think williams will be the leader for them.

I don't think it'll be Carlos Boozer that leads them. Look how well the Jazz did while Boozer was out. Deron Williams is the clear-cut leader of the Jazz. As Deron goes, so do the Jazz.
I think Utah could have as good a chance as anyone. They played very well against the top 3 teams in the West. The only team I don't like them playing is San Antonio. Ever since Duncan came along, Utah has struggled against them. Also, they don't match up well with the Lakers. Nobody on Utah can stop Kobe (including my beloved A.K.). L.A. has given them fits this year.
GO JAZZ!

In my honest opinion, the answer would be no. As much as Boozer and the Jazz have improved this year, it won't be enough to surpass the likes of Dallas and Phoenix. However, give the young Jazz a few more years, and I think they will be contenders.

Williams can lead them Boozer will just be the player who works hard and paly hard but Deron Williams will have to lead. Boozer not that bright and not a go to man in the clutch yet.

to be honest, not this year... maybe next or the following year...
his partnership with d-will reminds us of what we've been missing all along at utah -- the pick and roll! of course, the best tandem ever to do that is malone and stockton...
d-will and booze can emulate this given a few more years of playing together... okur is also becoming a clutch player which crucial in the playoffs... the ever reliable AK47 will get his numbers in offense and defense... millsap is a rookie revelation and will get better...
a few more years of experience and we are looking at genuine championship contenders...

Not a chance. They would have to go through the Rockets, Mavs, and Spurs/Suns to get there. Not gonna happen!

They'll probably lose to the rockets in the first round. Even if they did beat the rockets in the first round, they would have to face the mavs in the 2nd round, so they won't make it to the finals.

No. I doubt they will get past the Rockets in the first round.
