OFFICIAL Postseason race thread *Sticky*

The Jazz worst two losses of the season were by 37 points and 25 points. Both of them were against the Spurs. The Jazz second worst home loss of the season was by 18 points. Also against the Spurs. (Only OKC beat us by more here).

Plus, and this is more subjective, but the Warriors/Jazz game in Utah back in November was one of the funnest, most entertaining games of the season to watch, even if we didn't get the win.

We'll be killed either way, but I think a series against the Warriors would be more fun to watch. Plus, at least we've proven we can play a competitive game against them. The Spurs have just consistently given us our worst losses of the year.
 
I would not put money on the warriors winning a playoff series against the spurs.
 
Get a W v. Kobe for Sloan! happy birth you ice pick fighting son of a gun!

"You officiated during the golden era of NBA basketball from Bird and Magic to Michael to now. What was that like when you sit back and think about it? Crawford: Kareem, [Hakeem] Olajuwon, Karl Malone [too] … everybody always forgets all these guys. I am very lucky, but I really didn’t appreciate them because I was reffing. When you are reffing, if you are doing your job you are trying to get them to adhere to the rules and it is hard some nights. I appreciated their competitiveness, but I didn’t appreciate those great, great moments. I appreciated [former Jazz coach] Jerry Sloan calling me a no-good … that used to be funny as hell. I used to tell a young referee, if you hit Jerry with a T, he would immediately call you a no-good mother ******… so I said when you call the first one, just get away from him because you are going to have to throw him [out otherwise].

Warriors are better than Spurs. But for us is better tô play vs Warriors. We almost won in the first game.. Keep the game on Slow pace. Spurs are boring and we have no chance
 
Still beat the Mavs. Rockets are a mess right now. Harden might will that team to the playoffs, but I'd be embarrassed if I were a fan.
 
It's not surprising at all. I honestly can't believe that some people would prefer the Spurs.

In all likelihood we are getting swept either way. But we have been known to play GSW at least somewhat competently. Spurs crush us every time. And if we are going to get blown out, then I'd rather watch Curry go nuts than watch Kawhi play good fundamental basketball.

Would prefer the Thunder personally. :)
 
I don't like the pompous arrogance of Popovich. Yes he has accomplished great things, but he has no respect for the game or the league. Worse, he treats the reporters badly for doing their job to promote the game. I want to enjoy the Jazz playoff experience, by watching, listening, and reading about the games. I don't want to turn it all off because the reporters have nothing but stories and quotes from Popovich pretending he is Genghis Khan. I would prefer the jazz play Grizzlies, Warriors, Clippers, Thunder, Spurs, in that order.
