[jazzlurker]

Two weeks ago this thread looked hopeless. Will the Jazz make it to .500 by the month of Feb?

6-3 looks extremely doable in that stretch. That would put us at 30-31.

This team is making me bi-polar.

Definitely doable.

Denver is playing good ball right now, so I don't know if the playoffs are realistic, but I'd love to see us close the season strong and feel excited about a core of Rubio + Donovan + Rudy + Exum going forward.

538 has us with a 56% chance of making the play offs.

Seems bullish to me but that would be fun.

I posted a poll on this several days ago (the 10-game prediction thread). I predicted Utah would be back at .500 in 10 games (we're 2-0 currently).

We`re actually more likely (75%) to make the play offs than Portland, The Clippers and the Nuggets now according to 538, who now predict us to finish with a record of 44-38.

I'd be ecstatic if that turns out to be the case. Trying not to get too excited just yet, but this streak has been a fun ride.

If Rubio can keep shooting well (I'd take 45/35 2pt/3pt) and Exum comes in and can make a contribution, I think this team could end up at the 6 or 7 seed. They are only 3 1/2 games out of it right now, and haven't been this healthy all year. Schedule is significantly easier the rest of the season than it has been. They have the second toughest SOS in the NBA as of now and the 7th easiest remaining SOS.

WoW

I am buying in to the jazz making the playoffs. We have 4 games against the elite in the rockets, spurs, spurs, and warriors.

Playoff teams include wolves, pistons, blazers, blazers, and pacers. Thats 9 tougher games.

We also have mavs, mavs, hawks, suns, suns, kings, kings, pelicans, grizz, grizz, hornets, and magic left. Thats 12 teams in tank mode.

On top of that, only 9 of the remaining 21 are on the road.

We are 3 games out of 8th. The pels look lost without boogie. The clippers lost blake and deandre looks butt hurt for being trade bait. We are 7 of the last 8 and won some tough games. Things are clicking and we look amazing!
