The Spurs always seem destined for a drop-off, but my gut feeling is that some random bench scrub is going to become a difference maker down the stretch for them.
Interesting: "The Spurs are 10-12 since New Year's Day, with road dates at Cleveland, Golden State, Oklahoma City and Houston scheduled over a 16-day stretch starting Sunday."
Plus Leonard is not coming back.
Huh?So I had taken this picture on January 29, the day before we debuted the city jerseys and slaughtered the Warriors. When people check in, the color on the chart turns blue. When they’re getting their vitals it turns yellow, and when they’re ready it turns green. I’d never seen orange before and there’s only a brief period of time when it’s yellow, so this stood out to me enough to take the picture. I suppose it was a sign.

I witnessed a miracle through the color configuration on my computer screen. It was as if Larry H. was speaking from the dust, giving his final blessings on our championship run.Huh?
Okay. Still don't have the slightest clue what you're talking about though.I witnessed a miracle through the color configuration on my computer screen. It was as if Larry H. was speaking from the dust, giving his final blessings on our championship run.
At least that’s how I like to view it.

If you say so.
Here we go! The final stretch of 24 games for the Jazz. Andy Larsen tweeted that the Jazz are favored to go 18-6 the rest of the way. That would leave the Jazz at 48-34. Only 3 games off last season.
Last night the Clippers lost and the Thunder won so mixed results. But the Thunder and Wolves are the only 2 teams from 3-9 that I think finish ahead of Utah. Utah will finish 5th! and face either the Thunder or Wolves in the first IMO.
Tonight's Games:
Jazz v Blazers
Wolves @ Rockets
Heat @ Pelicans
Spurs @ Nuggets
Clippers @ Suns
Tonight could be a very big night for the Jazz. If the bolded teams win the Jazz will pass the Clippers for 9th. They will be .5 games out of 8th and only 1 game off 7th and 6th. Also a win tonight would clinch the tiebreaker against the Blazers come seeding time. Those tie breakers could be important.
We already own the tiebreaker against the Spurs and 1 more win against the Pelicans and Clippers and we own those tie breakers as well. OKC owns the tiebreaker over us and the Nuggets and Wolves only need 1 more win against the Jazz to own it as well.
OP updated with standings
Why would we want the Blazers and Wolves to win? especially the Blazers.
So in other words, anytime you see two colors that could potentially be associated with the Jazz, regardless of the order and regardless of whether their are some other non-Jazz colors mixed in you see it as a positive omen. Very well. I like!![]()

Every once and a while the face of Mary appears on a tree stump. I suppose you don’t believe in that, either.
