Jazz Playoff Watch
- Thread starter Stifle Tower
- Start date
Dragic played well last night in OT so I still think Houston will be battling the Jazz for the last spot. Personally, I will only be ok with getting in the playoffs if they Jazz are fourth or fifth seed. I also want the young guys to get minutes making the playoffs and also in the playoffs. I would rather get the second first round pick and miss the playoffs if the Jazz are going to be the 8th seed.
Dragic has played very well almost every game he has started (unrestricted free agent). Turned his ankle last night, but apparently not serious. If Patterson keeps playing like he did last night they still have a good shot at playoffs. Martin should be back at some point.
Agreed. I'm worried about the people above us more. If we lose our way out of the playoffs so be it. If we can fight for a 6th seed or higher then that would be great.
Damn you Kobe, 9/24.

Dallas beat Houston. But Houston plays Memphis next; Id love to see a Jazz win @ Boston, coupled with a Houston win against Memphis...

I have been watching the Jazz since I was about 8. I'm 32 now.
And I honestly think this is the most confused I've ever been in regards to examining wins and losses. Perhaps I got dumber, or just more drunk, but I'm pretty sure the bizarre set of circumstances surrounding this season and the Warriors pick has me feeling dyslexic.
Denver @ Toronto... umm, who am I rooting for here? Advice please?

AS much as I hate Denver, I gotta go with the Nuggets. GS may only win 3 or so games the rest of the season; their schedule is brutal after this week. Toronto still has a shot at winning 22-24 games. Denver has more road games remaining than Utah does, so that should ensure Utah finishes with the better record.

An interesting thought...If the playoffs started today, wouldn't we be matched up against the Spurs?
I know the Spurs have dominated us for most of the past 13 years. Yet, I really don't see that as an impossible matchup. I think just as the Grizz did last year to the Spurs, our bigs could wreck hell on the Spurs. Tim Duncan 10 years ago would have dominated Millsap/Jefferson/Favors/Kanter. Tim Duncan today?
I just don't see the Spurs being able to stop our bigs inside from scoring, rebounding, and drawing fouls.
On the flip side.... The Spurs have dominated us, have Pop, and Tony Parker usually destroys us.
Interesting.

I am too lazy to look through all of these posts to see if anyone has already posted this but here is the ESPN Playoff Simulations link:

I have only played it one time this morning. I went with Hollingers rankings and it had the Jazz beating the Lakers, then beating the Mavericks and losing to OKC who then lost to the Bulls. I enjoyed seeing that.
