Jazz Playoff Watch

The Jazz have the potential to match up with any team in the West in a fair contest. I doubt that the refs would allow that to happen with the Thunder, but with any other team in the West they have a shot at advancing in the playoffs. They had a shot at the 3rd seed if they beat the Hawks, now that looks like a stretch, but they still have a shot at 6, maybe even 4.

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.

Dont forget the Red Rocket.
 
I looked over the remaining games. Got the Jazz finishing about 36-30 on the season, as long as they play like they've been playing recently (celtics game excluded, they had just come off a quad OT, and a game against NJ) I think this would be a good enough record to make it into the playoffs this year. Would be nice to see happen too. I mean I could see them maybe getting to the second round this year.

Even if the Spurs roster was made up entirely of D-League players, the difference in coaching between Popovich and Corbin is so huge, we'd still lose to them...

Ah, Jazz have an easier schedule than Denver and Houston. Utah could still make it as the 8th seed. Isn't that what we want...playoff experience for the young guys?

Seriously, it is ESSENTIAL the Jazz do NOT make the playoffs, IMO. If they don't, KOC will have to make changes. If they get to the playoffs, even as an 8th seed, he and Greg can continue to trim expenses and claim the young team just needs a few seasons to grow together.
 
I want the Jazz to be 6th or 7th in the playoffs, not 8th. 8th is the worst possible scenario we can get.
