Jazz 2017/18 Playoff Bus! All Aboard!

I remember reading that it is still possible for the Jazz to play any of the 9 teams currently in playoffs contention.

I don't think we can be 8, so anyone but Houston. Haven't seen one where we play Denver either.

Oh there is a scenario where the Jazz play Denver but it involves the Clippers beating New Orleans tonight.

Outside of the Clippers beating the Pels and/or Miami beating OKC tonight (or something far crazier, like Sacramento beating San Antonio of something), the Jazz are going to be playing OKC unless the Jazz lose both of their remaining games.

I'm looking at one scenario where Utah (5) plays Denver (4) in the first round, and another one where Utah is the 4th seed with Denver the 5th seed, and another one where Utah is the 3rd seed and Denver is the 6th seed.

In the last scenario, the Pelicans beat the Clippers, but lose to the Spurs, and the Jazz beat the Blazers, but lose to the Warriors tomorrow (so yea, turns out also that Utah doesn't have to win out to get the 3rd seed, which I also didn't realize).

I haven't even looked at that many scenarios involving OKC losing to Miami, but yeah it looks like that could happen without the Pels losing to the Clippers.
 
i think if okc wins today, isn't it pretty much a lock that we play them in the 1st round if we finish 4th?

there is no way that the grizz win this one. remember the tank move they pulled vs us in the 4th?

Grizz have 22 wins. There are then three teams with 24 so the worst that can happen is them tied with those teams. Not sure who wins (by losing) the tiebreaker out of those teams.

So maybe they know winning the last two is fine. Or win this one and then tank the last.
