Jazz 2017/18 Playoff Bus! All Aboard!

Gimme GSW in the first round. You ain't beating them with Steph. But take them out, and the path to the WCF is legit.

I know, I'm high.

I can't say it's a lock, but if we beat them then we catchup a game. If the rockets beat them and we win then we are just one game behind the 3rd seed.

It's very doable.

If we beat them we hold the tiebreaker, so winning out puts us at 49 wins. They have 48 today, so they would have to win 2 games of those 3 to finish in front: @Hou @SA @Den. With Lillard out.

Told differently:
Portland @Hou (L) @SA (L) @Den (W): 49W
Utah LAC (W) @LA (W) GS (W): 48W
Last game of the season: Utah @ Portland, winner takes #3

Same thing if we lose 1 of the next 3 games but Portland loses @Denver too.

Only because we weren't healthy. If Gobert never went down we would be the 3 seed right now by a comfortable margin. Blazers would be 4 whether Butler was healthy for the Wolves or not. Spurs would be better than the Wolves if both teams were full strength. The Wolves were only top 4 because of other teams suffering major injuries. I'd be fine if we ended up playing Minnesota in the 1st round. They can't play defense and we are in their heads. We just smashed them in Minnesota. And the last time we played them in Utah KAT and Teague both got tossed because we got under their skin. They are talented but they aren't mentally tough.
 
Last night:

Spurs lost!!!!!! Pelicans won.

Tonight's games:

Jazz v Clippers
Blazers @ Rockets
Wolves @ Nuggets

If the bolded teams win Jazz will still be in 4th and only 2 games out of 3rd.

Time to put SAS a full game back tomorrow night. San Antonio is only 650 feet above sea level. They suck on the road this year and Utah can gas them at home. Goid first round match, although Im still hoping fir Minny. #teamelevated

*Edit oh snap, it's Thirsty Thursday! Love when I get a day wrong on the winning end of a workweek. Add in the playoff drama and this is as good as a Friday at 5 p.m.

Tonight's games are so super huge.
Even the third seed is in play.
Tbh, I would love it if the Spurs missed out altogether. But playing them wouldn't worry me.

Nope. I think Quin will have the guys dialed in.

It’s amazing how Kuzma has become their go to scorer. Really sucks that the Jazz didn’t spend more to go up and get him. Having two dynamic offensive rookies to pick up the scoring slack would have been extraordinary.
 
Honestly I prefer the 4th seed to the 3rd. I would rather face Houston in the second then a healthy warriors. I might prefer us to rest a game or two and if we can keep the 4th rather than push for 3rd.

But 3rd seed would be cool.

I'll be very very happy with home court though.

Pretty good point. I agree that I would rather play Houston than a healthy warriors team.

I don’t think Steph will be 100% at all this year. Given CP3s potential for injury and Hardens potential to be less potent (they don’t call as much of the BS flopping fouls) and the fact that he has disappeared... both have weak spots but it’s a pick your poison scenario. KD is just such a tough cover.
 
Every time we start getting overly excited and hyped about moving further up we suffer an excruciating loss. Ya'll are jinxing us here
 
I’m just going to enjoy the ride. Getting Mitchell was a godsend, and everything that has happened since January 23rd has been icing on the cake.

I’m hoping for a home court advantage and (hopefully) a first round win.

2nd round will be hard no matter who the opponent ends up being. . . but if the Jazz are clicking on all cylinders I think they can beat anybody.

Would love to see them shock the Rockets or Warriors and get to the Western Conference Finals (or beyond). That would be totally unexpected and would be a helluva finish to this crazy season.

nah. We have talking about moving up and teams we want to lose have been losing (spurs) and getting injured (lillard)

We have been talking about moving up for like a month now and you know what we have done? Went from 10th to 4th.
