The homer in me says we go 12-3(Losing to Thunder, Warriors, Spurs), Grizz go 5-9(we win tie-breaker), Blazers go 8-7. We beat the Clippers in the 1st round. The realist says we go 8-7 and get swept by the Warriors.

10-5. Finish 42-40
Good enough for the 6th seed. I win my bet.
 
This has been a great day. If the Jazz take care of Phoenix tomorrow like they should, they'll be just one game behind Dallas and Houston.

The schedule is rough, but the Jazz have looked good when they take care of the ball. Griz, Mavs and Rockets have looked like hot trash. I think playoffs are extremely reasonable, but getting to 42 is going to be a challenge.

Even better if portland drops to the spurs as you'd expect they will. Unless pop is gonna rest some guys before their big golden state game.

Is it wrong of me to be cheering for the Jazz to get to 42 more because I like fish and want him to cover than actually see Utah make the playoffs and get annihilated by GS?

But I guess it if we're good enough for the 6th seed Jazz would face OKC. That would be fun to watch.

If it's wrong I don't want to be right.

Let's bring home 42 wins for our boy Fish!

Churros for everybody!
 
Last night went perfectly for the Jazz.

Dallas, Houston and Memphis all lost. Kings did as well but no surprise there.

Thunder, Pelicans, Clippers and Warriors all won. Jazz are not 1 1/2 behind Houston and Dallas, 2 1/2 behind Portland and 6 1/2 behind Memphis. Woot woot!!

Tonight's games:

Nuggets @ Hawks
Grizzlies @ Bucks
Blazers @ Spurs
Suns @ Jazz

We need a Jazz win with a Blazers and Grizzlies loss. That would put Utah 5 1/1 behind Memphis, 1 1/2 behind Portland and 1 behind Dallas and Houston.

GO JAZZ!!!!!!!!!!!

OP updated.
 
I just looked at memphis box score.

Their starting lineup is total trash. lol 76ers worthy.
Jeff green
matt barnes
ryan hollins
Briante weber (who the hell is that? i had to click on the link for him to find out his first name)
Tony Allen

Actually is jamychal green, not jeff green. Even worse lol. i had no idea there was a jamychal green.
 
I can't believe the 6th seed is still a realistic possibility. This isn't the West I'm used to.

6th - 8th seed are legit possibilities. If Memphis continues to play to their current talent level I expect them to drop hard. 5th seed is an outside chance but not impossible.

Memphis Remaining Sche.:
@ Bucks
v. Clips
@ Suns
@ Lakers
@ Spurs
v Spurs
v Nuggets
v Raptors
@ Magic
v Bulls
@ Mavs (not sure who we will need to win tbh)
v. Warriors
@ Clips
@ Warriors

4-10 over the last 14. They already went 2-5 over the last 7 as well.

Tbh at suns and at Lakers might be losses too.

That lineup for memphis is worse than what the suns or Lakers well trot into the court.
Of course Lakers and suns might be tanking but still.... memphis might not win another game

If they don't then they will be the team to miss the playoffs.
 
Grizzlies lost to tanking Suns 2 times in a week. I think that was last week or the week before. Brandon knight was out.
Alex Len scored something like 33 against them in one of those games.

I doubt Jazz can pass Grizz. They already have 39 wins and I do not see Jazz with more than 42. I see Jazz Houston and Dallas all bunched together between 40 and 42 wins. Jazz MUST beat Houston and Dallas. My prediction is Memphis 42 wins, Jazz 42 wins, Dallas 41 wins and Houston 40 wins. If we lose at Houston we all tie at 41 and Jazz lose tie breaker :(

Not true. As long as we beat Dallas, we would still finish 2nd in a 3 way tie even if we lose at Houston and Houston loses at Dallas. H2h records among the three teams would be:

Houston: 5-3
Utah: 3-4
Dallas: 3-4

Houston would get in, and then the two team tiebreaker would be applied between Utah and Dallas. Utah would win that 2-1.

I think it's the dominance of the top two teams in the west, that all the other teams in the west have to play four times. If we weren't all paying attention to a possible record setting season by the Warriors we'd be in awe of just how good the Spurs have been this year. OKC isn't too shabby, either. The west is just really top heavy this year.

I bet that Popovich is one of the biggest fans of the Warriors this year. His team having a great year but flying way under the radar, letting the dubs take all the pressure of expectations.
