Tracking the Jazz in the Hollinger Playoff Odds

It's interesting to note that even though the Lakers are projected to miss the playoffs, they still won the championship in 10 of the 5000 simulated seasons.

I've got good news for you then. The Hollinger Playoff Odds now project a 13-15 finish for the Jazz after the break.

Not a surprise, we beat one the best teams-the Thunder- by a significant margin. Most of Hollinger's numbers are based on point differential.
 
Am I the only poster not scared of the Spurs? I know they're always our daddies, but our outside shooting is in another realm this year.

If Burks and Hayward keep continuing their progress, it will be a much different series this year if we meet them.

Fixed it. Ty is learning, and needs playoff experience too. Popovich mopped the floor with Ty last year.

What would a trade do to the playoff odds? If the Jazz had a couple more victories or defeats I think they would be more inclined to make a move but they are stuck in the middle. Irregaurdless of a trade, the Jazz have two tought road trips after the break. March 4-9 @ Mil, @ Cle, @ Chi, @ NYK. Then a Tour of Texas, March 20 at Houston, March 22 at SAS and March 24 at Dallas.

Good news is the schedule spaces out well, Jazz only play back to back twice, and 15 home games to 13 on the road.

Everyone realizes that if we get the sixth seed we get this team again next year, right?

One notable difference is that I highly doubt that both Sap and Big Al will be back. Maybe 1 but not both. That means and increased role for Favors as a starter and for Kanter as the primary backup at PF and C.

Agreed. Unless we go to the conference finals, one of Jefferson or Millsap will not be with the Jazz next season.

Of the 15 players under contract, 8 will no longer be under contract next year. Of the 7 under contract, one has a player option. So I doubt that any seed means the same team next year
 
The Lakers are getting run out of the building by the "visiting" Clippers. I don't think they'll win 10 championships tonight.
