Wear your JAZZ gear today, friends.
 
Jazz have taken a few swings -- Favors was a #3 pick. Kanter was a #3 pick. Jazz wanted Lillard, but GSW tanked us out of that draft. You have to get lucky to land a star player like this. Keep in mind, Philly has been tanking it hard for 3 years now and doesn't have that kind of 'go-to' player. Wade was part of one of the best draft classes of all time.
 
Me personally, I'm keeping the dream alive. Here's a little for our Karma.

I'll drop in next game thread. Lots of losses to Mavs, Rockets and Grizz and three wins for us.

And what is Utah? Giving away a game at home against another team's subs...that's some really stinky bull ****.

If Gobert can't dominate on the boards and defensively, he's too big a liability to play. I don't know what his ****ing problem is, but if he can't come to play, he shouldn't come at all. QS needs to park Rudy's sorry *** on the end of the bench. Move Derrick to the 5 and play Lyles. Gobert needs to be Gonebert if he doesn't improve his game.

Don't forget to take your meds.
 
Clippers up on the Mavs while Griffin and Paul are shooting a combined 5 of 18 or thereabouts. Resting guys can have consequences for your rhythm. Crawford still lights out, he's hit 5/6 off the bench.
 
The Lakers hanging in with the Rockets. That'd be a problem if they get a rhythm before the season finale. The more I think about it the more scary that game is. We had some preseason battles with them, too.
 
So... Jazz beat Dallas and LA, they probably get the 6th seed, and would be no worse than the 7th. (Memphis expected to lose out to Clips and Warriors.)

If the Jazz lose to Dallas, they might end up tied with Houston, lose the tie-breaker and be out of the POs.

There's a 3-seed swing riding on this Dallas game tomorrow. It's basically a wild-card game to make the POs.
 
wtf. Fivethirtyeight dropped our playoff odds from 89% to 59% after the Rockets beat the Lakers in Houston. That seems odd.

EDIT: Now up to 81% after the Jazz beat the Nuggets. I'm confused how our playoff odds decreased after today's outcomes though. Houston was a heavy favorite against LA and we were slight underdogs in Denver.
 
A win tomorrow vs. Dallas and a Houston loss vs Minnesota and were in the playoffs boys. Or we just win our remaining two games, but it would be nice to not have to worry about it going into the final game.
 
So... is it fair to say the Dallas game tomorrow will be one of the most important games for the Jazz over the last 2-3 years?

Considering the playoffs are on the line and we haven't been to the playoffs in 2-3 years then yeah, it is.

Tony Jones said exactly that. Biggest game in four seasons he said. Not sure what he's comparing it to exactly tbh because I would've erased such a crushing game from my memory banks.

I think that swing was a combination of the Jazz loss and the Rockets win. May not have been updated in a timely manner.

Close but not quite -- if rockets lose to minny and jazz lose to Dallas, we are still in with a win vs lakers.
