Jazz 2017/18 Playoff Bus! All Aboard!

Jazz are going to end up in either 5th or 6th place this season and pull at least a first round upset just like last year. I say they come out of nowhere once the roster is healthy again and march all the way to the championship.

Playoff train is coming, choo-choo mofos!

Not likely. Millsap is out approximately 3 months for Denver. They are about to freefall. One less foe to worry about.

Playoff train is coming, Choo Choo!

I'll be taking the wheel of this bus if no one else does. I'll never root for tanking. Pels and Blazers at the very least are very catchable.

Jazz dont Have aA Better player then Dame or CJ. Pelicans Have 2 Legit All Stars. Homerism at its peak. Jazz should get a lottery pick. What good would a first round sweep Be?

Id love to take this wager. 5th or 6th. Have you not noticed how crappy the Jazz have been?
 
Despite being 1-7 on the road and as bad as we've been we're still only one game out of the playoffs and three games from the 5th seed.

I've noticed we're right outside the playoff teams as bad as our luck has been and that injuries are starting to creep up on the teams in front of us. Look at the standings and see that we're only a few games back of where I said we'd finish. Not really an impossible feat considering we have 2 key players out that we'll be getting back soon.
 
New day, new games
Blazers @ Wizards
Thunder @ Mavs
Pelicans @ Warriors
Bucks @ Jazz
Clippers @ Kings
Go home teams

Jazz have had a relatively weak schedule thus far - and are still not playing well. Have you seen the December schedule?

As for the injured players, it's not like the Jazz were playing great and then started a skid when Rudy went out. Jazz' two biggest wins have been without Gobert. It's really a trade-off, tbh. Rudy's presence exacerbates the Jazz' problems on offense. Rudy missing actually allows the Jazz to have a more rounded line-up. Does that mean I don't value Rudy? No. It just means Lindsey hasn't been able to put the right players around him.

Well, no help from the Wizards or Kings, but a great game for the Jazz + Thunder and Pels lost, which means we're in the 8th spot right now.

today. Suns win is nice, but I don't think the Grizzlies matter much. If we're behind them in April, we might as well tank...

Okay but we're currently in the playoff picture and still only a few games away from 5th. Other teams aren't doing that great either other than the top 3 in the conference. Of course the Jazz are going to take a little while to mesh together and figure out their roles, etc. Add in injuries too and it becomes even harder, and yet, here we are, currently in the playoff picture and a small winning streak away from creeping up the ladder.
 
Blazers @ Knicks (pretty important one)
Lakers @ Clippers (I think, but somewhat win-win)
Mavs @ Spurs (but probably not a big deal, they'll be better)

Well, Blazers won, but I suppose with Griffin going down, Clippers winning is probably the best we could hope for. Lakers don't own their pick, so they won't be tanking anyway.
 
If we can't beat Denver who is without Millsap while we are at home in a nationally televised game, we should really consider our realistic goals this year.
