I just don't want to play the Spurs. I'd honestly rather be matched up with GS.

My preference on Utah's seeding. 5th, 6th, 8th and 7th in that order. I'd almost rather get a lottery pick than the 7th seed.
 
Last nights games:

WOOT WOOT! Rockets and Grizzlies lost! As did the Pelicans.

Lakers and Thunder won.

Last night thru Friday night is huge for the playoff hopes for Utah, Dallas, Houston, Memphis and Portland. The whole game could change as all of them face tough teams. We started it off great with Memphis and Houston losses!

Tonight's games:

Jazz @ Rockets
Mavs @ Blazers (win win!)

Right now the standings for the 5 are:

5th Memphis (0)
6th Portland (4.5)
7th Dallas (5)
8th Houston (5.5)
9th Utah (6)

OP updated.
 
Fivethirtyeight now gives the Jazz 89% odds to make the playoffs.

Houston is 71%, Dallas is 42%.

IAWTP, Srsly. Getting an emotionless, sociopath beat-down by the Spurs is, hands down, the most joyless outcome and fruitless experience for our team that I can think of.
 
It would have been better for Dallas to win tonight. We want the 6th seed, so obviously Portland losing would have been the better outcome.
 
This is getting pretty exciting - and tense - for fishonjazz. Utah needs 7 wins and I see 7 very winnable games on the schedule.

Wins: @Min, LAL, Min, @Pho, @Den, Dal, @LAL
Losses: @OKC, GS, SA, LAC

Maybe Utah wins the LAC game and loses one on the road. My fear for fish is that Utah will be 41-40 going to LA and the Lakers will play the game of their lives to send Kobe off with a win.

Jazz played the Spurs pretty tough at home last time, but just couldn't hit their open shots. They had a few chances to go up by double digits in the 1st half. It was just pitiful to see missed shot after missed shot. And it really wasn't tough defense by SA. I think Utah could win a game at home.

I honestly think Portland will finish 5th. Most of their remaining games are at home, and I don't see Memphis winning more than a couple more games. Plus Portland has the tiebreaker.
 
i think we have a chance to beat spurs and warriors at home. i believe!!!

I would absolutely love this scenario to come to fruition.
Especially if the game mattered for the jazz in playoff position.

Whoa. WEAK schedule. I usually hate win these, lose those predictions. But GEEZ, real bummer to lose any of those 7 you mentioned. Hopefully we won't.
 
Another HUGE night for Utah and the western playoff race!

JAZZ WIN JAZZ WIN JAZZ WIN!!! Suck it Rockets! HAHAHAHAHA

Also Mavs lost and the Blazers won. This means Utah is the 8th seed and tied record wise with the7th seeded Mavs. Mavs hold the tie breaker. still 1 1/2 back on Blazers and 5 1/5 back on the Grizz. 1/2 game ahead of Houston. I love that it was the Jazz that took their spot in a head to head game on their home court. Cold blooded and just further proof that we own the Rockets.

Tonight's games: (another big night)

Jazz @ Thunder
Blazers @ Clippers

A Jazz win and Blazers loss puts Utah in 7th and only a 1/2 game behind 6th!!! OP updated!!!


GO JAZZ!!!!!!!!
