Jazz 2017/18 Playoff Bus! All Aboard!

I was completely able to blow off the Atlanta loss as just a case of running into the wrong team on the wrong night, but this loss to Boston without most of their starters is just indefensible.

Kind of just took all the wind out of our season IMO. I'm not sure I care if they make the playoffs or not if this kind of play is what we have to look forward to.

they did hit a bunch of 3's tho .. including a couple of ridiculous ones

Boston shot 57% to Utah's 27% from 3.

Utah really had no business even being in that game, so I guess it's a moral victory to almost win after shooting that poorly.

This team desperately needs more shooting. Hopefully in the offseason DL can find something. Our defense is keeping us in games, but our offense has to get better somehow.

Dante Exum says hello. Time for Quin to let him play, for better or worse. We need to hone in on dudes who have talent Ricky is what he is

Not me. I want to see this team get rewarded for a remarkable turnaround. Want to see Rubio get a taste of the playoffs for the first time in his career, Rudy play through a first series without injury, Mitchell see what it's like.

Losses are gonna happen. Celtics were shorthanded but pretty deep, and they have a talented coach. I'm totally bummed about it, too, but only to the extent it hurts our playoff odds.

Is it just me or does anyone feel more comfortable with the Jazz playing on the road than at home. We seem to choke or play poorly at home quite a bit, even during the huge win streaks. We seem more focused and our defense really clamps down when we're on the road. Is guess that's good given that we won't have homecourt in the playoffs?
 
That was our fifth loss in 28 games. We're 23-5 since the first Atlanta loss. Rudy has missed 30 games or whatever this season, too. Yes, we need another scoring punch. Yes, we are not top tier yet. But we have two stars, a good coach, and are making a heck of a run as the season winds down. Seven games left. Can we get five? Six? Let's go.

Yeah, with GS banged up, it's really just the 8th seed that we must avoid. Getting swept by the rockets would be a total buzz kill after being so close to a chance at getting past the first round.

I want to see Exum get more minutes, but Rubio is pretty important to this team IMO. In games like this where our passing is really sketchy because the defense seems to be getting in our heads, I'd actually like to see Rubio running the offense more than trying to play the team passing game.

Right, but now is the time we should really be hitting our stride. Instead, we are in a shooting slump that has lasted for several games now. A couple of our recent wins have been just as concerning as our losses because our shooting was so bad.

On the bright side, Utah has gone on some hot shooting streaks after bad stretches this year that have made us pretty much unbeatable. If that happens in the playoffs, we can beat anyone. However, if we continue to shoot like we have been, we could also get swept by just about anyone. Hopefully we wake up, because even if we had won tonight, the way the team is playing is definitely concerning.

So we should just not go to the playoffs...

<eye roll>

grow up
 
the fact that we are going to finish above 500 in a season that looked completely lost to me itself is very damn astonishing.

But we should be hitting our stride right now. The fact that we've lost a few games out of the last two dozen means **** the playoffs. really. Just ask 12 year old freakazoid.
 
Jazz gotta work out the clumsiness of the past week or so and get dialed back in for one of their crazy streaks. Could end up working out fantastic for us if they catch fire right as we hit the playoffs.
 
Feel disappointed that it feels more than likely now that the 7-8 seed is the destiny...
However, that Clippers game coming up could become like a play-in for the playoffs.. HUGE..

Well it will feel that much more satisfying when we get matched up with Houston and eliminate them once again.
