Jazz 2017/18 Playoff Bus! All Aboard!

Not super excited about drawing OKC vs. some of the others, but I think interesting matchups are Royce on George and Crowder on Carmelo. We’ve contained Westbrook pretty good this year, haven’t we?

We got them. Porty and OKC are good and tough but we can do it. It’s the playoffs... no one is an easy out for us.

Healthy Minnesota scares me more.
 
Today, the Jazz lineup of Rubio, Mitchell, Ingles, Crowder and Gobert went on a 43-15 against Sacramento.

Matchups today

OKC @ Toronto (TOR 6.5 point favorites)
Utah 1.5 games behind OKC for 4th

Boston @ New Orleans (No line right now, NOP on back to back)
Utah 0.5 games ahead of NOP who are in 8th

Houston at Minnesota (HOU 7.0 point favorites, both on traveling back to backs)
Utah tied with MIN because they own the 3 way tiebreaker with MIN and SAS

Portland @ LA Clippers (LAC 2 point favorites, Portland on traveling back to back)
Utah 3.5 games behind POR in 3rd, and 2 games ahead of LAC who are in 9th

NOP is on the second night of a back to back. They then have one day off, and then a back to back to back all at home. They have to play a makeup game because a leaky roof postponed a game earlier in the season.
 
Lol don’t get ****y dude. We haven’t made it yet I sure hope we do tho, it’d be amazing, we dodged a bullet today
Didn’t dodge a bullet. Basketball is hard. Winning night in and night out is extremely difficult. Memphis, Sacramento and the Lakers have all played fantastic games that were upsets in the past week. The Jazz played good basketball at the end of the game and got the win. That’s what good basketball teams do.

We’ll dodged a bullet In terms of playing well enough to still beat a team that shot 14/21 3s. A game we prob would have lost maybe 2 years ago. Gutty win
 
Tonight:
Kings @ Jazz
Nuggets @ Grizzlies
Wolves @ Spurs (win-win)
Rockets @ Pelicans

I got Harden on my fantasy team, and my fantasy playoff opponent has AD, so I'm hoping for a huge Harden night. I think it's possible we get some Grizzlies help too. At some point that streak will have to end, and Nuggets are terrible on the road.
Just the way they drew it up.

I wanna like this but it’s really silly and laughable more than anything.
 
I want fifty wins... I know I am being unrealistic, but I don't care...

I also want #ROY, #DPOY, #COY, and I want the league to make an award specifically for Joe Ingles.

I don't think it's unrealistic at all, on any front. If the Jazz basically run the table, all of those wishes are in play.
