What time is the game?
2016-17 Hype Train Playoff Chase!!!
- Thread starter Stoked
- Start date
5th seed!
We are in the spot our point differential says we should be in which is a better predictor of W/Ls than our W/Ls. 5th seed with all the injuries we have had is awesome. I think in the next two weeks Hill and Burks will start playing and Favors will ease off of his restrictions!
4 of our next 6 to finish the year are at home and 4 of the 6 are against bad teams. Hopefully we can win against one or both of GS and Toronto and then we have some real momentum!

Griffin is having knee surgery. He'll be out 3-6 weeks. Bodes well for our chances of passing them in the standings.

Unfortunately the clippers have typically performed pretty well without griffin. I think so anyway, haven't checked.
Hahahahaha!! Jazz went into Memphis and beat them! 5th seed!! CHOO CHOO!!!!!
As an added bonus the Clippers lost!!! Kings and Pelicans also lost.
Mavs and Spurs won.
Tonight's games:
Hawks @ Thunder
Suns @ Wolves (Suns are my pick for the #1 draft pick)
Mavs @ Nuggets

FWIW the Jazz are now closer to the Warriors in 1st place than they are to the Nuggets in 9th.
Rockets are winning ALL the close games. That won't last, things will revert to the norm as they have started to with the Grizz who were doing the same. We just have to beat them ourselves as well.
Also history tends to show that high volume 3 pt teams with poor D tend to under perform in the playoffs. Jazz have an extremely good chance of getting HCA in round 1 and winning that series. Then a fair chance of winning in round 2 depending on the match up.

Yeah, HOU doesn't scare me at all in a playoff series. The best defense in the league going up against a team that couldn't care less about defense. Hmm, I wonder who will win...

Houston is 8th in DR since the return of Beverly. Wouldn't say they're poor defensively.
OP updated with weekly power rankings from ESPN and NBA websites.

NBA power ranking slink, they write pretty damn glowingly about the Jazz. Both at their ranking spot and their lead up to the list at the beginning of the article. Basically they say Utah has arrived.
