I think the Jazz can finish this with 3 or fewer final wins, even if we beat the Magic. We just need to pull off losses to Detroit and Nola, which should be doable.

Pretty widespread, ttytt. It rivals, "we could be the worst team and still not get a top 3 pick, but even if we're 14th we are still able to move into the top 3."

Don't think Orlando will win enough to catch the Jazz even if the Jazz were go winless after beating Orlando tonight.

Orlando would only need 2 wins in this scenario to tie Utah.

No, the scenario he put was that even with a win tonight Jazz could end up 3rd... Jazz win just put them up 4 games. Regardless, I would be surprised if they even have 2 more wins at the end of the season. Hopefully the Lakers can beat them tomorrow.
 
irregardless of the chance at getting the 3rd worst, we need all the losses we can get and bottom line is this was a very lose-able loss.

I'm not saying it's a fact. I'm saying resolutely that that is my opinion. If I didn't have such a string opinion and they moved up, then I came back later and said "I knew it," then that'd be a hindsight bias. What you're suggesting would qualify any opinion of future events to be considered a hindsight bias if it unfolds as predicted. I'll give two examples:

Hindsight bias:

Draft is coming up an John likes players A, B, C and D. He can't decide for certain who he wants his team to draft. He wants to go big with A, get shooting with B or get athleticism with C. He likes D for having a winning attitude but isn't certain if his lack of athleticism will hurt him, so he prefers A and B but really does like D. His team takes A. Four years later, A is out of the league due to foot injuries and D is a coach's selection All-star. He proclaims, "I knew we should have taken D!"

Not a hindsight bias:

Draft is coming up an John likes players A, B, C and D. He is fairly certain who he likes but does appreciate other options too. He has some reservations about taking D for his lack of athleticism, but thinks his winning attitude is too good to pass up. He still really likes A for his size, B for his shooting and C for his athleticism. Despite this, D is his guy. His team takes A. Four years later, A is out of the league due to foot injuries and D is a coach's selection All-star. He proclaims, "I knew we should have taken D!"

So there's a chance Trey Burke becomes a coach's selection all-star? Because he's short, slow and can't shoot. Oh wait, I take that back. If he hits 1 out of 3 shots, but that one shot is in the 4th quarter, nothing else matters.

More I watch Trey play, the more I hope the BPA when the Jazz pick is Smart.

Burke's still trying to figure things out though... Lillard has 2 years on him when he entered in the NBA.
