What's new

2016-17 Hype Train Playoff Chase!!!

I don't think so. Paul is a guard and Hayward is forward. Can a guard be replaced by a forward? Not sure how that works.

I think any player can be chosen as a replacement regardless of position. That is what happened last year.
 
So exited Houston finally had an upset. They have got to come back to the mean. Hopefully this is the beginning of that. Also might be a good opportunity to gain on 4th, though we definitely feel the pain of injuries.

Houston has the tail end of a back to back tonight and GSW on Friday. Jazz couldgain some ground.
 
Paul's injury is great news as well. The Jazz needs to keep on fighting because a 4th seed might be reachable.
 
Last night:

Rockets lost lol. Spurs won. In the race for 8th the Nuggets won and passed the Blazers for the 8th seed. In case anyone was interested 8-11 are separated by 2 games. Nuggets, Blazers, Kings, Pelicans in that order. I'll start including them in my games lists.

Tonight's games:

Grizzlies @ Wizards
Blazers @ Hornets
Magic @ Pelicans
Bucks @ Rockets
Thunder @ Warriors
Pacers @ Kings

Jazz can gain ground on Houston and some more separation from Memphis and OKC. Not sure who I want to win 8th out of Sactown, Portland, Denver or New Orleans.

Clippers have to be worried. During Paul's absence there are 9 games vs. current playoff teams. Including 3 v Warriors. Jazz are in a fantastic spot to take the 4th seed.

Good post and thanks for that research.

I think cp3 is the most important player on the clippers.

Jazz gonna get the 4th seed. (Been saying this since the season began btw)
 
just bought the clippers tickets when they play the jazz at staples center on March 25th. gonna be an epic game!
 
heard on the radio that the clip's historically only win about 30% of games when CP3 is hurt
 
Just checking out the Rockets-Bucks game.

First time seeing Giannis this year, he really is fun to watch, he's like the guard version of Rudy, just so so long.

And I know Harden is playing great this year, but I think Eric Gordon deserves a lot of credit for their success this year, great pickup for them.

Just always remember we could have drafted him instead of Trey Burke.

Makes me so sad. DL was one of the first to go over to Greece to scout him. I was a huge fan of his and was hoping for either Giannis or Steven Adams at 14 and Gobert or Schroeder at 21. I remember how crappy everyone thought that draft was at the time. . . But it turned out some pretty solid players.
