OFFICIAL Postseason race thread *Sticky*

[TheGobertReport]

I'm trying not to cry a river about the Jazz blowing the Warriors game at the free throw line so the Jazz cannot harp on it against the T Wolves or Suns. Boler alluded to the fact the Spurs or Clippers could rest guys during the Jazz games but Boler is an idiot. I love him dearly and love him calling the games, but he's an idiot in that respect. Either way, that Dallas game is going to be monumental. I don't see Houston collapsing or losing any freebies so it will be important the Jazz forget the Warriors heartbreaker and take care of business. I would love to see the Jazz in the playoffs this year. I think it is needed to become a championship contender in the next few years.

Of course he is

I fully expect nobody to rest any players against the Jazz, while the Clippers and Spurs rest everybody against Dallas.

So teams would rather face the Mavs than us in the playoffs.

Feel honored.

There was recently an article about worst possible first round match ups:

For the Jazz it was the Spurs, for the Warriors it was the Jazz.

I will save the feelings of honor until after I get paid.
Until then I'm hoping teams don't rest dudes against other teams but do rest against us

Any Favors updates

Nothing yet. Jody G wrote on Twitter two hours ago: "The Jazz said he is being re-evaluated today. They aren't practicing, so we're just at their mercy for some info."

He also added on another tweet: "I've heard rumblings that Alec Burks is hoping he'll be able to play Friday vs. Minnesota. I'm a bit ... skeptical."

Yes and we showed them last night why. This is the 2nd winnable games we've had against the Warriors this year. Had Favors been playing in the 4th quarter we could have and should have won that game. On the other hand we've been blown out every-single-game against the Spurs.

Jazz schedule appears more difficult than Houston and Dallas one, especially because Blake Griffin could return against the Jazz and the Spurs may decide to not rest Duncan, Parker and Ginobili against us.

In addition I'm not sure it will be so easy to beat Lakers in their home for the Bryant last game, the refs could influence that game!

Here we go!

Celtics @ Blazers

Bulls are playing without Taj Gibson tonight. How lucky they are the Jazz playoff race opponents lately!
