The odds according to ESPN's Hollinger is 0.5%.

It might be fun to track the playoff probability if the hot streak continues. We have a very easy stretch of 12 games coming up, 9 against (LAL, Min (2), Den (2), PHX, SAC(2), Wash)

It would be a very cool finish to the year if we are within 4 games with 4 games remaining, a tough finish with: Mem, Por, Dal, Hou.

Odds are long, but it could generate a playoff-like atmosphere. And all 4 opponents will likely be playoff-locks at that time, perhaps competing for nothing or at most home court position. So opponents may have less on the line and could be resting stars/ starters.

Not very likely, but fun to think about.

Also underrated, the reverse tank, where teams would not want the #1 or #2 seed so as to avoid OKC or San Antonio. The comedy in this is that they will all get steamrolled by the JazzChurroWagon in both the regular season and the playoffs.

We are going to be like the 06-07 Warriors in their We Believe run to make the playoffs and then beat then 1 seed! They ended the season on a 18-5 run or something like that and then beat the team with the best record Dallas. We can do the same to them this year!

Would be poetic justice after the Warriors tank that scr3wed the Jazz

Double poetic justice. The Warriors will have become the Mavericks and be beaten in the selfsame manner; also by the Jazz after they so masturbatorily celebrated Baron Davis' dunk over AK.

YAY! WE'RE NUMBER 8! WE'RE NUMBER 8!

Very dubious assertion. If the Jazz win out they finish at 46-36. OKC would have to finish 10-5 to get the 8th seed (Jazz would win tiebreaker).

OKC remaining schedule has 8 games vs top teams (Dallas (2), Atl, SA (2), Mem, Hou, Port), 3 moderate games (Mia, Phx, Bos), 3 easy (SAC, IND, LAL) and Utah.

Assuming the Jazz win-out, if we assume OKC wins 3 easy games, 2-1 against moderate and 4-4 vs top teams, they finish at 9-6 and Jazz take the 8th spot. This is not at all unlikely. To support, Hollinger predicts a 9-6 finish.

The path is easier versus Suns and NO.

So if the Jazz win-out, I'd estimate that they would have about a 50% or better shot at the playoffs.

((All that said, this is all hypothetical as the probability of the Jazz winning out is probably <1%, but that is a different discussion altogether.))

Before OKC and NO's last game, their win percentage was .561. If the Jazz won the rest of their games they'd have a win percentage of .561.

OKC is getting Durant back, Anthony Davis is healthier, and both teams are more likely to win a higher percentage than their current percentage (due to super star treatment, stepping up, etc). So I would say it's more likely than not that we still wouldn't make the playoffs.

Just saying.

A week ago they were worse than that. It's happening.

So he's still here, huh?

If the Jazz win out, those teams are going to rest so that whoever the #1 seed is has to face Utah. If Quin Snyder and the young Utah Jazz can storm back and make the playoffs, NOBODY is going to want to play them in the first round.

Hey guys, we are having a churro party last game if the season when the playoff push is on. Mark your calendars. Wednesday April 15. Churro party.

Just thought I would stop by, and give my daily blessings & thanks to the #rallychurro

IF we make the playoffs I have no doubt that we would beat the Warriors. We would be so hot at that point.
