Next trap game; let's FOCUS on ORLANDO game!

[NotDeadYet]

Our history after winning "big" games this year has been to over-relax vs supposedly "weaker" teams. We need to avoid thinking about the upcoming Phoenix game and FOCUS on the Magic game. One game at a time, baby; take'm one game at a time!! Just 'cause we're in the drivers' now means nothin' if we lose vs Orlando... They're ALL important!!

 

[Dr. Jones]

Maybe NO should go after Orlando's name and leave the 'Jazz' alone. Fits very well.

Jazz - 98
Magicless - 95

Orlando without Dwight is vastly superior to the TB team we just rolled. Won't be a pushover.

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

Al better fight for better post position, or weight lose.

 

[JazzFanNBama]

I'm concerned about this one myself. Good thing we'll be rested. I look for it to be tight early, but I think/hope the home court advantage will take over in the end and we win by 8 or so.

 

[theNBAnerd]

orlando could be a tricky game. their whole game plan is very different when dwight's out, and it basically aligns perfectly with the jazz's defensive weaknesses -- a lot of drive-and-kick, a lot of outside shooting. their team is a mess AND it's a home game, so i'm still optimistic... but if any of the jazz players are thinking "oh dwight's out..." we could be in trouble.

Didn't you notice Spurs in first place? If it's Jazz vs. Santa Tonio then I'm not watching a single game of steamroller vs ant hill.

Please lose this game. Pleeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaazzzzzzzzzzzzzeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

For those of us that would want to watch it that is just plane selfish. Or did you really mean you want a draft pick instead of the Jazz losing to the Spurs (and watching was really irrelevant).

So you think Franklin controls the destiny of the Jazz?

Boo. Always hope for the best. Ginobli is fragile, there's always a chance.

I'd rather have the Spurs. Last year they lost to Memphis, and our team could be seen as similar to the Memphis team last year.

Frank the Tank has wanted the Jazz to tank since the NBA announced it was ending the lockout this year. ^ this post isn't anything new.

So I don't give a damn about anyone else. Please squirt some warm man milk into my mouth.

Hey bone choker, I wasn't even on here when the logout ended. I wanted them to tank after it became obvious this team is on the go nowhere train.

I have been a staunch supporter of this team making the playoffs. Don't rain on my parade negative Nancy's.

Jazz are gonna crush SA

Screw rain. I'd rather piss on your parade with a thousand horses.

A thousand pigs too hoping TBS is there with you.

Was that said in a hateful tone .. or more of an endearing one?

 

[AlaskanAssassin]

This has been a fun year to be a Jazz fan. Everyone works hard and plays the right way. I'm sure Jerry would have loved to coach this squad. It will be a HUGE accomplishment to make the playoffs.

It is still very possible for the Jazz to get the 7th seed. We just need to win our last three home games and hope that Denver splits their final four games. The latter scenario is actually very likely, because the Nuggets still have to play @ Phoenix and @ Oklahoma City. I project them to lose both of those games. Denver's other two games are against the Magic @ home and @ Minnesota, which are likely wins. If We and Denver finish the season tied in the standings we get the higher playoff seed because we own the tie-breaker over them via winning the season series. However, it is unlikely that we will catch Dallas because they would have to lose all three of their remaining games coupled with us winning all three.

I'm concerned about the articles that portray the Jazz being in the "drivers seat" regarding the playoff picture. Without sounding too negative, this is how I see it.

1) We aren't catching Dallas. I can't see them losing all three.
2) We can catch Denver, but only if we win all three.
3) We must beat Phoenix. I mean we need to win the others too, but if we can't pull out that game. It's likely that Denver and Phoenix will go to the playoffs and the Jazz and Houston will stay home.
4) The Jazz haven't looked like a team that would win 3 in a row in a while.

They absolutely can do it, but there should be no sense of entitlement in their minds. They really need to play tough for 4 quarters in all three games because if they drop one, they will likely be staying home.

 

[NotDeadYet]

Exactly, 'mrob'. Win (3) and we're in, quite possibly #7 if Nuggets split. The thing we don't know is will OKC rest some players when they play with the Nuggets...
