Favors is in the top 15-25 on a lot of the advanced stats. He should be on the bubble.
Lol.

I didn't even realise the Jazz haven't played the Suns yet, that's exciting. They'll be good enough to snake a game from the Jazz though I think, I really rate Devin Booker and Ayton is slowly figuring out the defensive side of things the longer the season goes.We now have the easiest remaining schedule in the NBA

I love Donovan but there is no way he deserves to be on the All-star team even with a great January which hasn't even happened.
As far as the schedule being brutal, I agree the league should do a better job in scheduling teams. Even if the Jazz "turn it on" it still doesn't change the fact that we have not beaten the good teams more than losing against them. In the playoffs, the schedule gets really tough and the Jazz will have to play teams they have been losing to the last few months.
Remaining SOS.
OKC with toughest.
Lakers with 3rd toughest.
Nuggets with 4th toughest.
Utah still with the 2nd easiest.

I think based on this we can get the 3rd seed. We have the easiest schedule in the West left. I dont think we can catch the Nuggets unless they collaspe. But frankly I would love to see us at the 3rd seed with Nuggest at the 2nd. If we beat the 6th seed in the first round I feel pretty confident if healthy we can beat the Nuggets or the 7th seed.
I dont feel like we, or anyone, can compete with GS unless they have an injury to Curry or Durant and even then I would favor GS. The next two teams I would least like to see if healthy are Houston and OKC.
They have us at a 99% chance of playoffs. Which I would agree that it would take some serious collapse to miss the playoffs.538 projecting us at 50-32. Still a 2% chance to win it all.

Only 10 more losses for the season!

Last year that would have been good enough for the 3 seed and a 2 game improvement. I am expecting the 3 seed this year.
