2014-2015 Jazzfanz Official #playoffpush thread #rallychurro

Jazz are 31-37. Ten games shy of .500.

If they win out and finish 45-37, them make the playoffs if OKC finishes 7-7 (or worse), NO finishes (7-7) and Phoenix finishes 8-5 (or 9-6 depending on if Jazz have the tie-breaker.)

With every Jazz loss, those numbers will increase for what the Jazz need to make up the playoffs. Those three losses after the break loom huge. Had they closed those games out, they'd only be 4 games back of the Thunder and within striking distance of the playoffs, with a playoff caliber lineup to finish out the season.

How does that make the Jazz 10 games under .500? Look like six games under to me.

.500 for a final record AKA 41 wins. 41-31=10

Ok, I guess that kind of makes sense. Why not just say if the Jazz only win ten more games, they will end at .500?

Let's see what this impressive victory over the Lakers does for the Jazz playoff odds.

I don't think winning 10 of the remaining games is impossible.

If we do, does that prove that Quin is an awesome coach?

It's gone from 0.5% to 0.2%.

Like hell!!


@ Warriors - L (I think they will win and am being conservative)
v. Wolves - W
v. Blazers - W
@ Nuggets - W
v OKC - W
@ Wolves - W
v Nuggets- W
@ Suns - W
@ Kings - W
v Kings - W
v Memphis - L (road team will win every match up in this series)
@ Portland - L
v Dallas - W
@ Rockets - L

That is a record of 10-4 and completely reasonable.

But no! I say the Jazz go 12-2!! @ Warriors and @ Portland are going to be wins!!!

My wife watched the her first televised game in years last night with the loss against the Wizards. Tonight I broke my #rallychurro in two, formed a cross, and forced her to leave the room tonight. You're welcome.

Bless you

I ate a churro at the game last night.

#rallychurro has yet to bring good fortune, so I might skip it next game.

Wrong-- and don't you dare.


Brethren. The Churro tests our faith. Do not waiver!!!! We must BELIEVE! WE DO BELIEVE! #WEBELIEVE2015

Honestly, this is the best argument that you've had so far.

For The first time this season the jazz have an overall positive margin of victory. They are now +0.04 for the entire season! Huge improvement over last year's margin of like -6 ppg.

Amazing, considering the start of the season and the losing streak in December. That feels like it all happened last year. This team has grown SO much just in one season. Started out, we were happy if they'd beat the worst teams and show well in losses against the good ones. Then they started to prove that they could beat the good teams from time to time, but not usually in close games. Now, I'm shocked if they lose, no matter who the opponent is or how poorly the Jazz do on offense. And they're learning how to close out close games.

Look at the injuries and the schedules...

OKC has injuries to Ibaka, Kanter and Durant. They play 11 games against teams in the playoff hunt

Pelicans have a banged up Davis. They play 9 games agaisnt teams int he playoff hunt.

Fate...you decide...

I'm focused on 41 wins. That's an objective goal. Try to get above .500 and then let that fate decide their fortunes. Really wish they'd have won 1-2 other games that they should have, or moved Gobert into the starting lineup even before they moved Kanter. Either of those things would have me feeling better about their chances.
