So there is a decent possibility that the Jazz take the 8th seed. I know this bums some of you out--I'm rather divided myself (leaning toward getting the pick), so who would you rather face and thus subsequently receive an embarrassing annihilation from either of these juggernauts (this is the word for brassiere in German for those of you wondering)?
 
I say its San Antonio because if you play smart you should be able to beat them. The Jazz are longer and more athletic. OKC would be tough because they play smart and are superior when it comes to the talent dept. I know SA will be tough too but OKC will be tougher. Plus you seen SA get upset last year by a younger team.



On a side note. Celebrate with me my sweet 1600 th post.

Sweet 16(00)? Meh. I celebrate championships, baby.

Atcually, I celebrate just about anything/everything .. so .. I'm in.
 
Obviously the picks are the better option (duh), but if we're in the playoffs, I think I'd rather face OKC. They're still young and less experienced, so I think there's a better chance that they make mistakes and they'd be more likely to underestimate us, imo.
 
If they play OKC they will get a better TV schedule and more media coverage. Plus the Jazz in MHO match up better with OKC.

Lastly... It would be good to start a rivalry with OKC since they will ultimately be our biggest competition in the west for years to come.
 
The Jazz have no chance against the Spurs. Jazz would be lucky to win one game. Their three best players are better than anyone on our roster, and their coach/gameplanning is in another universe compared to the Jazz.

The Thunder play like ****heads half the time and cough up the ball a lot. Yes they're very loaded and a well-constructed roster, but they're still very young and I think the Jazz could steal a couple.

I'd rather have a draft pick, at least since the GSW one is basically sitting in the toilet with a cold log atop it.
 
If I have to choose between playing OKC and SA in the playoffs, no ****ing way I want to face the Spurs. They are everything the Jazz are NOT...they are consistent, they ALWAYS play good defense, they can hit threes, they hit free throws, their coach knows how to use his entire bench and get everyone to produce, and most of all they have championship experience.

OKC has bone heads like Westbrook that are very capable of having a major meltdown/choke job in the playoffs. What the hell...I'll take my chances against the team with the ugliest uniforms in the NBA.
 
The pick, fer shur... but if we make the playoffs, it's a no-brainer.

San Antonio has absolutely owned us this season. Out of 4 games we squeaked out 1 win, at home, with their 3 best players not even in the state.
 
San Antonio knows how to win the big games, whereas OKC has only proven that they can win in the regular season with their current roster, so I'd rather play OKC. As for keeping our draft pick, for me that depends on the Golden State pick. Either way we owe a pick to the TWolves. If we get the Warriors pick this year then I am very comfortable giving our own this year so we can keep ours next year even if it is a slightly worse pick. We would still bring in a high potential pick this year to add to our core and add another piece a year later after some of our current contracts expire. It spreads out the youth and still gives us talent. However, if we don't get the Warriors pick this year, then I want ours since this looks like a talent-rich draft class.
 
I'd take San Antonio, even though they've thrashed us in the regular season, because all it would take to eliminate the Spurs would be a well-timed knee to the thigh of Tony Parker. Without him, we'd take the series in 6 against a Parker-less Spurs team.

Against OKC we would have to hope they don't hit all those wide-open 3s we give up all the time. IMO, there's no way Westbrook and Durant miss 6-7 of the 10 wide-open 3s we give up every single game.

But, in the end, as much as I hate to admit... I wouldn't be completely torn up with ending up the 9th or 10th seed in the West and getting the 13-14th pick...

ughhh, I HATE missing the playoffs! 2 extra months of NOTHING to watch on TV but stupid baseball!
