What if Jazz still makes the playoffs?

I think the Jazz have a chance with the GS pick to get a lottery pick. I think most teams especially in the West have improved. The Blazers, Kings, New Orleans, etc are improved. Even if they are not better than GS they are going to be more competitive and be able to beat GS on a given night. It isn't like there was a big gap between where the Tankers finished last year and missing the playoffs. GS is one team who got worse in my opinion, losing Jack and Landry is huge chemistry wise and the fragile health of several players could lead to them missing the playoffs. Man are GS fans going to be pissed if the unprotected pick 2014 becomes a lottery pick.

Corbin would win COY if Jazz make playoffs this year.

If they make it this would prove that Corbin is the worst coach in NBA history. He has been wasting all the young players for 3 years...

Your unrelenting negativity must be a horrible way to live. Go get laid man. Damn

This season is a win no matter what. If we suck due to our bench, we get a nice pick. If GSW sucks, we get a nice pick. If GSW is decent, we can add a role player in that draft.

If we make the playoffs, it means the Jazz found their core and a Superstar has emerged amongst them. This team really has no bench and no expectations as such, other then to finally get a chance to prove themselves.

Rumors aside, the West's playoff teams haven't really changed at all and most are only getting better. Such is the brutality of the division.

Am I correct in assuming that even if GS has the worst record, we still get their pick?

Am I correct in assuming that even if GS has the worst record, we still get their pick?

That is correct

I think even though this year's team may be less equipped to make the playoffs due to expected offensive efficiency (or lack thereof), I truly believe they are more equipped to compete in the playoffs if they make it due to their expected improvements in defense.
