I don't want to be that person but we had like a 99.2% chance of making the playoffs a couple years ago and we didn't make it lol. We're in the same boat again

Buddy, don’t be that guy

Portland might have peaked a little early this year .

 

[candrew]

Don’t count the Miami game as an automatic win. Aren’t they pretty good? @Cy?
I legit don’t really know

Miami might want to lose. Right now they're slotted to play Philly .

They are an east playoff bottom feeder. Knicks beat them by 24 barely.

 

[yamers]

well this was a really really ****** *** day for us, but we have a chance at 3 if we win out here. OR we have a chance at being out of the playoffs. crazy thing is the blazers next game is vs the nuggets, INSANE

Utah clinches a playoff spot with one more game, correct?
Minnesota and Denver still play each other, so one team would have 37 losses.

Yes. Ball and Kuzma are both questionable too. I can't speak for the Lakers but I see no reason to force them out there anymore this season.

Correct. Path for HC is harder with OKC winning tonight and unlikely to lose again. Need to take care of business.

I think our "magic number" is 2. Any combination of Jazz wins and Nuggets or Wolves losses. Jazz are 2-2 vs both teams, but they both have better records against the division.

well, the jazz have got to take care of business tomorrow vs the lakers.

Yamers gets the Jazzfanz award for consistently highest blood pressure. We shall call it the perpetual Yamers Exploding Aneurysm Cup

Mate if we can’t beat the Lakers tomorrow we don’t deserve anything

We win tomorrow and that gives us 47 wins and the worst we can do is 47-35
If Minny wins out they finish 47-35, that means the best Denver can do is 46-36
If Denver wins out they finsih 47-35, and the best Minny can do is 46-36

The magic number is one... Right!?

If the Thunder pull into a 2-way or 3-way tie with the Jazz and either the Spurs or Pelicans they'll win that tie-breaker and push us down.

If the Pels, Spurs and Thunder got into a 4-way tie with us, we'd win due to conference record, I believe. This would be challenging though, since the Pels and Spurs play each other. We'd need the Thunder to lose a game, we'd need to the winner of the Spurs/Pels game to lose a game, and we'd need to loser of the Spurs/Pels game to keep pace with a win. Unlikely.

One other scenario that might work for us would be a 3-way tie between Utah, Portland and the Thunder, which would yield Portland the 3rd seed, the Jazz the 4th seed and the Thunder the 5th seed. I'm not thrilled about playing the Thunder in the first round though.

It would be tremendously helpful if Miami would beat OKC for us.

The magic number is technically 2 because if we lose out, two Minny or Denver losses would get us in. But you're right that if we win once we are in because Minny or Denver is guaranteed a loss.

 

[yamers]

win out
get 3rd.

Yes, 47 gets us in. Minny and Denver play each other on the last game of the season. Only one of them can get to 47 wins.

Also, since the Pels and Spurs play each other, one of those teams can only get to 47 wins also.

If the Jazz end in a 3 or 4-way tie at 47 wins, we'd still get the 6th or possibly the 5th seed. It's not a bad thing.
