Utah Jazz 2018-19 Championship Bus CHOO CHOO

Portland is 22nd on another site I saw, not 16th. And they're winning today, so we are going to be 3.0 back of them. Need to go 17-3 the rest of the way. **** it.

When I eyeball Portland's schedule it doesn't look difficult at all to me.

That's cause it's the 22nd toughest in the league from Wes says. That would mean it's not too difficult.

“Fav was in Hulk mode,” Kyle Korver said.

Korver is a very observant dude as he's shown before. Yes, Hulk is the perfect word to describe Fav.
Guys like Gobert and Mitchell bring the same energy and intensity pretty much every game. Fav on the other hand has a switch. There is no question he's a consistent and reliable starter level player. However there is more to him that only becomes visible when he's angry.

Remember his first 20-20 game? It was one game after Kanter got his own big game playing selfishly and made the headlines. Hulk was pissed.

When he turns green he's a hard man to stop. He also is a constant member of all-NBA most-underrated first team besides Mike Conley and Thaddeus Young.
 
Memphis about to blow a 13 point lead with like 3 minutes to go and missed 13 field goals in a row
 
Looking at OKC's schedule, I expect the Jazz to pass them in the standings soon. Right now, 538 predicts all four teams -- Houston, Portland, Utah and OKC -- will end up with 51 wins. Would be best to get to 52, get the 3rd seed and beat OKC in the first round.
 
OMG everyone has to see Snoop’s reactions to the Lakers.
 
There have been some great victories this season - the Celtics games come to mind - but none more important than that Milwaukee win. Game of the season IMO. Add that to the win against Denver and it may even be a turning point for the team if we don’t get unlucky with injuries. It might certainly be a turning point for Favors. Haven’t seen that kind of passion and aggressiveness from him in a while (maybe ever), and he’s looking leaner and meaner than ever before. And finally closing out a game. I guess he’s finally 100%? He could be a monster come playoff time.

Keep Favors
Send Rubio packing
Get that 3rd star PG/SG

Pretty disrespectful and juvenile I thought.

It's actually just immature and entitled. The entitlement is fully ingrained in so many Lakers fans. They cannot fathom that they aren't just handed rings every year because it's just the natural order of things. I bet there was a surge in ER visits for heart attacks in the LA area when they failed to secure AD for a used napkin and some mentos.
 
538 is back to having us projected to go 50-32, tied with OKC for 5th. Portland/Houston are projected at 51-31. We lose the tiebreaker to OKC in that scenario but we end up in 6th. I think a 3-6 matchup with Portland would be fun and would probably go 7 games. It's crazy how close 3-6 are going to be.

If I could get that matchup and those seeds today I would totally take it and be happy.
I think we would best Portland. Then maybe beat Denver too.

Storylines with Lillard Weber State ties. Plus kanter and hood. Would be a fun series

Good situation if GSW ends up as the first seed. The best situation would be Jazz finishing second or first, that way we'd have an easy first round series. But realistically, 538's projection is just fine.
