Jazz 2017/18 Playoff Bus! All Aboard!

Put another way, the Blazers have 13 games left. We have 12.

We’d have to go 9-3 with a bunch of tough ones in there, and the Blazers would have to go 6-7 for us to just tie them. The same Blazers team that has won 12 in a row.
 
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
Don't talk with your mouth full.

Good point. Sounds like something that's not going to happen... unless the Blazers start losing asap. Go Clips!

Yep. I’m rooting for the clippers.
Plus in the scenario Wes presented he had the jazz going 9-3. Jazz keep going above and beyond expectations. They could shock everyone and go 12-0.
Plus Lillard could get hurt.

52-30 is a better record than the Jazz last year. That would be a MASSIVE statement and should guarantee at least 2 Jazz awards by seasons end IMO.
 
If the Jazz finish on 12-0 run, that'd be 21 wins in a row. Come on.

Ya, go Blazers!
 
When a loss or two happens, especially if it's two in a row, the sky is going to be falling up in this bitch.

Funny thing is, the Jazz can actually win the rest of the season out, and still not capture the 3rd seed, since Portland might not lose 4 more games.
 
I don’t. They only have 26 losses and given our upcoming schedule, are almost impossible to reach.

The Clips on the other hand have just one more loss than us. We are too close to them not to worry about them.

I’d love the 3 seed as much as the next guy but realistically, it’s likely not happening.

I'm with you... One or two bad games and we could be in the 9th or 10th spot. Hell 1.5 games and were playing Houston or GS. Personally I'd rather us have the teams below us lose to give us a little leeway. This team has won 11 straight on the road, home court doesn't mean as much as many here are pushing. Staying in the 4-6 range is far more important. In order for that to happen teams below us need to lose not stay within striking distance that could knock us completely out if we were to falter a bit.

Agreed. Primary focus of our irrelevant rooting should be to stay above the 7th seed.
 
Really unlikely with only 12 games left. Portland would have to have a total collapse. 4th would be amazing.

Maybe not so unlikely. It looks like they have a pretty tough schedule and the Jazz will have the opportunity to pick up a full game to end the season. Assuming the Jazz win the final game the blazers are only ahead 2.5 games.

Rough schedule. I guess we'll get a better idea of our chances by the end of the week.

When does Kawhi come back? Do the Rockets show up for that Blazers game? Does GSW show up for ours? It may come down to who is resting and when.

It'll take Kawhi a while to get back in game shape. He looked real rusty the first few games last time he came back.
