Because a team has never made up 2-3 games with 17 games left in the season? Or because over the last 10 games the 5-6 seeds are 3-7 and 4-6, while the Jazz are 8-2?

I'm not saying it is likely, but to say absolutely zero chance is absolutely ridiculous.


You know you've won the argument when the adversary has no evidence and reasoning and resorts to name calling

Sigh ..... ok let’s try this again. Sure you can make up 2-3 games. But to get to 5th seed we have to finish out the season maybe only losing another couple of games, while a handful of teams who are ahead of us have to die in the arse. Portland and Minny are too far ahead, and OKC has a schedule as soft as ours. Spurs are the spurs. So my view is despite how great things are going the probability of being able to leapfrog 4-5 teams is next to nil.

And I called the dude a name because he didn’t accept my clarification of phrasing. Like someone calling somethings the Ducks nuts ... I meant zero chance of that happening not literal mathematical no chance .. just so remote that I’m discounting it .. cool ?

Minny lost Butler and is only 2.5 games ahead. And they still play the Jazz once. They are not to far ahead. They are also in free fall right now. They are in the process of a "die in the arse" as you say. Same with SA. And the Nuggets, Clippers and Thunder have been pedestrian at best over the last 10.

sure agree with all that. I've actually tipped Minny to lose 5 of their next 6. BUT their closing stretch is as soft as butter. I think the Nuggets will drop out, but OKC aren't going to, they have an easy run in. Portland are playing really well. And NO will fade big time but they probably already far enough ahead. The other teams aren't playing well but they're going to fight like heck. I just think way too many things would have to fall into place for 5th seed to happen. More than happy to be proved wrong.

Personally I think the Jazz end up 6th
