Cause I know I am...

Haven't they been that "dangerous team" the past 3 years?  If they're so dangerous and the team to watch out for, why haven't they won it all yet?

A team can't be dangerous and under the radar, or everyone's sleeper pick if everyone is doing it.

Win something Utah and then I'll be a believer.

I think the label fits.  They CAN beat any team in the NBA in a series.  BUT they arent one of the best teams (the boston's, la's, SA's, etc...)  So they arent a championship pick but they are dangerous enough to threaten any of those teams.

Same here.  They can call whoever in the West dangerous all they want.  As long as that dangerous team beats the Lakers, I can care less.

It's a team WHEN HEALTHY that can certainly be dangerous and give teams fits come the playoffs.  Add to that one of the best coaches in the game, I think the Jazz meet that moniker.

Well, unless they make it to the Finals they pose no danger to the Celtics. ;D

I'm not, I called them in the Finals all season long, such a perfect matchup against the Fakers, but just like the Rockets, it's health-luck, which I still doubt.

They have been on quite a role since they got everyone back in uniform, and Boozer has been pretty bad(for him) so far.  This team is very deep and dangerous.

Great team to watch, but in terms of being dangerous, wake me up when they learn to defend.

I hope they lose to the Lakers so if we make it to the finals, we can destroy the Lakers.

Jazz are usually a tough out. I don't see anything that makes this team stand out over the other Jazz teams from years gone by. Out in the 2nd round, business as usual for the Jazz.
Wins are few, times are hard. Here is your bleeping St Patricks Day Card.

Of course any team that wins a dozen games in a row quite recently is a dangerous team.  I guess it all comes down to definitions..  I'm sure if you ask a Utah fan he will say they are "dangerous" and have a good chance to win a championship.  Ask a Laker fan and they'll tell you Utah is "dangerous" and may steal a game at home in the playoffs.
On a relatively hot streak, competent point guard, a great shooting C, nearly invincible at home, deep-ish bench..  Why can't we call them dangerous?
