None of those options excite me at all. Jazz have assets to burn. I'd rather see them burn some and take a shot at adding a guy with star potential for down the road. As good as they are right now, I'm not sure that they can afford to settle for guys to fill bench roles. The need to use high draft picks to chase potential stars. Fill holes in free agency if they must.
Oubre has a high ceiling. He might be there at 11 or 12. Dunn has a high ceiling, I think. I have a good feeling about Bobby Portis.

A top 12 pick is till pretty tempting. You always risk injury going back. Unlike Turner, Poeltl finished the season very strong. Lost to Duke, but Okafor couldn't do much against him.

Phoenix against the Clippers tomorrow is big. We are only one game behind
We still play Houston, who is in the midst of a five-way battle for seeding.

DX has him mocked at #11. He may not declare, but he absolutely should.

A loss to clinch the #12 pick which is what I feared might happen. I had us catching up to all the non-playoff EC teams but not passing Phoenix or New Orleans...obviously was wrong in conceding the last playoff spot to OKC.

I know Houston will go for the kill, but this Jazz team plays hard every night, especially against contenders or playoff teams. They are party poopers.
I think we can pencil in a loss against HOU

I'm pretty sure that playing a number of games without Favors, Hayward, Burks and Burke (top 4 scorers on the team) would have ensured a loss or two as well. . .
. . . and yet. . . here we are with career highs and amazing performances from Booker, Hood and Cotton.
Concede nothing. These reserves fight for the full game. I can't explain it, but I not counting them out of ANY game until the last seconds tick off.

Pretty good chance HOU will win this one... HOU could finish as high as #2. They've got a great incentive to win this game.
Okay, so....
Boston: 39-42; Remaining Game: @ Milwaukee; Projection: 39 or 40 wins
Indiana: 38-43; Remaining Game: @ Memphis; Projection: 38 wins
Brooklyn: 37-44; Remaining Game: Orlando; Projection: 38 wins
Miami: 36-45; Remaining Game: @ Philadelphia; Projection: 37 wins
Utah: 38 - 43; Remaining Game: @ Houston; Projection: 38 wins
We're likely looking at shared ping pong balls and a coin flip for the 11 and 12 seed with Indiana --- if Brooklyn wins and Indiana loses.

We need to be cheering for BKN to win!!!
Brooklyn is playing Orlando. The Nets are trying to win and the Magic don't care much. If Brooklyn wins and the Indiana loses in Memphis (likely), then the Nets are in the POs--I think. I think Brooklyn has the tie-breaker.
Most likely scenario is Brooklyn wins, Indiana loses, Miami wins, Jazz loses.
I think that means we're tied to flip a coin for 11/12th.
Right, with Indiana. That's what I said. That's the most likely scenario.
If Indiana pulls off a road win against Memphis (who also wants to win) and Brooklyn also wins, then we'll be in a coin flip with Brooklyn for 11/12.
If Brooklyn loses, Indiana is in the POs regardless, Utah is 12th and Brooklyn is 11th.
If we win, we probably flip a coin with Phoenix. Lose and likely flip a coin with Brooklyn or Indiana. Only other scenarios are if Brooklyn lose/Jazz lose or Phoenix win/Jazz win then they are set at 12. I think Jazz end up losing to a more motivated Houston team, and Brooklyn wins leaving them at a tie with them or Indiana (depending on Indiana).

Eff the tank... lets ruin Houston's playoff chances... It is pretty much what we always do. I want to see those Clutch Fans Forum babies crying about how we beat them with our second stringers.
