2016-17 Hype Train Playoff Chase!!!
- Thread starter Stoked
- Start date
Last night's recap:
Last night goes to show you that nothing will be handed to the Jazz. They have to take what they want in this league. Last night all the wrong teams won.
Jazz won and that's all they can control. But so did the Warriors, Rockets, Grizzlies, Spurs, Blazers, Thunder and Nuggets.
The only losers were the Lakers, Pelicans, and Mavs. The west is still tough. The jazz would be the 3rd seed in the east and are the 7th seed in the west.
Tonight's games:
Suns @ Jazz
Spurs @ Wolves
Sixers @ Grizzlies

man. grizzlies are playing bad teams when conley is out. that sucks for us. hope sixers win but will be hard
Gotta keep winning till Hill and Favors are back, then it's game on.
Jazz won again!!! Jazz have won 7 of the last 8. But they have blown 3 big leads in the last 3 games and had to pull it out of their butts. They need to learn to keep that huge lead.
The Spurs and Grizzlies also won. The Suns and Wolves lost.
Tonight's games:
Warriors @ Clippers (I am hoping for a slobber knocker. A double OT thriller that just drains the warriors)
Pacers @ Suns (rather the suns get a high pick than the anyone else)
Kings @ Mavs (I want to ruin the Mavs draft pick #)
Lakers @ Rockets (double L possible?)
Blazers @ Bucks (Hopefully the Bucks curb stomp them)
Nuggets @ Nets (still don't like the nuggets but I don't hate them like I used to)

Gotta root for the lakers in that one. As much as it hurts to type that.
Probably but I cannot bring myself to actively root for either one of those teams. I hate'em.

Grizzlies about to hit a rough patch in their schedule. Should drop a few games now.

That blazers grizzlies game is truly a win win and i have a hard time deciding who to root for.... I think i will root for the grizz though. I just think that they will slow down as the season goes on (especially with conley injured) and i could see the blazers getting better as the season goes on.
OP Updated with standings and ESPN and NBA power rankings.
Jazz have gone 8-2 during the last 10 and have a 3 1/2 game lead on the 8th seed Blazers. Jazz are 3 games out of 3rd. That's right, Jazz are closer to the 3rd seed than they are the 8th.
Last night's scores:
Rockets, Mavs, Clippers and Kings won.
Lakers, Blazers and Nuggets lost.
Tonight's games:
Grizzlies @ Cavs
Wolves @ Bulls (I'd rather the Suns get a high lotto pick than the Wolves)
Warriors @ Pelicans
Knicks @ Suns (go go best lotto pick out of the west)
Thunder @ Blazers (Jazz are only a 1/2 game behind the Thunder but are 3 1/2 ahead of the Blazers)

griz probably hit their highest point right now. They will start losing.
Last night's games:
Grizz and Thunder lost! That was really big for the Jazz!!! Pelicans also lost, eh whatever.
Warriors, Blazers, Suns and Wolves all won.
Tonight's games:
Clippers @ Magic
Lakers @ Nets
Cavs @ Grizz
Kings @ Rockets
Pistons @ Mavs (lottery)
Thunder @ Jazz
If the bolded teams win then Utah will move into 6th and be 1 game ahead of OKC in 7th, 3 1/2 ahead of the Blazers in 8th and 5 1/2 ahead of the Kings in 9th. They will be behind the 5th place Grizz by 1/2 a game and the Rockets and Clippers (3 and 4) by 2 games.
Could be a massively good night for the Jazz!!!

Kings, Lakers and Mavs lost.

I doubt the Jazz catch the Spurs and I'd rather the Suns get a better lottery pick compared to the other tanking western teams.
I think it is nothing more than bragging rights now. The NBA did away with the guaranteed HCA and seeding for division wins right?

This is a step in the right direction.
The NBA’s Board of Governors unanimously approved a proposal on Tuesday that would have each conference’s playoffs seeded by overall record. Before, each division winner within a conference was guaranteed a 1-4 spot, then the remaining four spots were determined by record. Those days are done.
