OFFICIAL Postseason race thread *Sticky*

Last night's recap:

Mavs lost and Lakers won. Any Mavs loss is good for the Jazz.

Tonight's Games:

Suns @ Kings (I think the Suns winning will help more as the Suns are falling a part and further behind the Jazz)
Thunder @ Hornets
Bucks @ Wolves
Pelicans @ Mavs (I want the Jazz to catch the Mavs)
Rockets @ Spurs (Rocekts loss and Jazz win and the Jazz are in 7th)
Grizzlies @ Jazz
Nuggets @ Warriors
76ers @ Clippers

Tonight could be HUGE for the Jazz. If the teams I bolded wint he Jazz will move into 7th and be 1 1/2 out of 6th, 3 out of 5th and 4 1/2 out of 4th. It'll also give the Jazz a 2 1/2 game lead on the 9th placed Blazers.

Only the Lakers and Blazers in the west are not playing tonight. Watching the game and will have Jazzfanz and ESPN up on my laptop. GO JAZZ!!!
 
Tonight was an amazing night for the Jazz.

Grizz, Rockets, Mavs, Suns and Wolves all lost.

Jazz, Thunder and Spurs won.

7th seed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Choo Choo! 5th seed express is surging!!! If you want off I suggest you roll when you hit the ground!!

YES!
 
That win was HUGE because it puts the Grizzlies on equal footing with us in the loss column with 17 losses.



We've got a REAL shot now at #6!!!!!

Just got home from the game. That was so much fun!
 
Now let's get real for a second. Jazz have 4 straight hard games coming up in a row.

v. Rockets
@ Spurs
@ Rockets
v. Heat

But after that is when things really lighten up and the Jazz can go on a tear and really make a move up the ladder in the west. Having said that the Jazz could still go 3-1 in the next 4.
 
Rockets are on a 4 game losing streak (currently longest losing streak in NBA). During that losing streak they have given up over 110 points each game.
 
The Jazz moved up in the standings with several key players out. Color me impressed. If those injured can come back and play like normal, look out.

If the Jazz can combine these 3 poitners with the Favors/Gobert D... 5th seed is ours.
 
State of the race:

Suns, Nuggets, Blazers and Pelicans are injured and falling far behind the Jazz. Kings and Rockets are the main competition behind the Jazz.

Mavs and Grizz are the main comeptition ahead of the Jazz. Grizz are clearly on the decline. I thought the Mavs were over achieving but now I am not so sure. They might be the biggest Jazz hurdle to the 5th seed. The sweet spot.

Last night's recap:

HUGE, HUGE, HUGE night for the Jazz! Fantastic!

The Jazz picked up a good win over the 6th placed Grizzlies and moved into 7th! But the Mavs and Rockets also lost. Along with the Suns, Nuggets and Wolves.

The Warriors, Pelicans, Spurs and Thunder all won but none of those teams are a Jazz concern. The only non perfect thing last night was the Clips and Kings won. But that Kings W came at the Suns expenses so it has a nice silver linning.

TOnight's games:

Blazers @ Nuggets ( WIN WIN really as they are 9th and 11th)
Suns @ Lakers (Hate the Lakers now and forever. Their garbage band wagon fans as well. At some point they need to win games to damage their lottery standing)

Jazz 5th Seed Train has passed the breaking down Rockets (HAHAHAHAHA suck in cluchfans. Scum!) and the Grizz and Mavs are in sight up ahead! I see some smoke coming out of the Grizz train. Slowing down for sure!

CHOOO CHOO
 
I am fine with going 2-2 as long as we beat the Rockets in those 2 games.
 
It's fun watching (and sometimes participating in) the mood swings around here. Just last week there were a bunch of punks talking about tanking. Now we're talking about 5th seed.

Good times!

Wouldn't it be a beautiful thing if the Lakers finished dead last in the NBA, got jumped by three teams in the lottery and then drafted a major bust? Reach for the stars, Bro.

For the record I have rejected outright any notion of tanking this season! I never stopped this bandwagon/train!!!
