How long until a superstitious poster freaks out and begs for this thread to be closed?
I predict that the Jazz will:
- Make the playoff
- Get a top 5 draft pick this year
- Jefferson & Miles will become our new franchise players and will both make the All Stars game in 2012
You heard it hear first.

In order to get a top 5 pick, one of the following has to happen:
1) the lottery balls drop in our favor, so we will get a top 3 pick
2) the Nets slide below the Raptors at the end of the season
I actually think the first scenario is more likely than the second, while both are not very likely...
The two options you proposed are not exclusive of each other.
Consider the following scenario where Nets finished as the 6th worst team, and through lottery they move up to the 5th pick.. to me that is definitely not outside the realm of possibility...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the lottery can only move you up if it's to the top three. Beyond the top three it can only keep you where you are or move you down. (So when we think about the draft, it makes most sense to concentrate on prospects 1-3 or, more realistically, 6-8).

No it is not protected at all.
Yes, that's correct.
Do you care to make a bet with me? Or are we just being fresh? Because I don't think any two of these things can happen in succession. You may only choose one of them.
-Our April schedule is BRUTAL... we need to go on a serious win streak and still hope that the other playoff hopefuls falter.
-Hope so... let's take Jimmer at 3 if we get it! (*sarcasm)
-Maybe Big Al... CJ homer anyone?

Exactly right. If the Nets are going to finish with the 6th worst record, then what we are going to get would be either 1, 2, 3 (if we are lucky), 6 (if the order stays the same), 7, 8, or 9 (if we are unlucky that all 3 teams with better records hit the lottery).

I think you're basing that on the assumption that NJ ends with the sixth worst record. That doesn't look like a lock by any means.

I will compose a map to the off season for our beloved Jazz:
@ Houston and @ Memphis back-to-back= Must wins. Both of them. The most important two games of the season for us. That means we will require a four game win streak, when was the last time the Jazz did that?
@ OKC/vs New Orleans back to back. Tough scheduling here, 4 games in five days. The Jazz really do need to try and pull out one of these games though, I think we can take the Hornets.
vs Dallas= Penciled in as a loss
vs Washington= Must win.
vs Lakers= Would love to surprise them here, but I am penciling it in as a loss.
@ Sacramento= Must Win. Our last "easy" game.
vs Portland= We really got to win against Portland with our April schedule.
@ San Antonio= Loss
@ New Orleans/Vs Denver= I don't know how Memphis or Houston or the suns will be doing at this point, but the Jazz will need to pull one of these out.
