2016-17 Hype Train Playoff Chase!!!

[Stifle Tower]

Yea, concussion. Our training staff sucks.

What was he doing in the game without his helmet on? They should have at least bubble-wrapped his head.

A little magic spray would have fixed it.

Just read about the 18 stitches. Damn! I'm guessing a month before he returns.

Burks is listed as "questionable" for tomorrow's game!!!! First time he has not been list D as "out"!

Exum is out tomorrow and so is Hill. However if Hill passes concussion protocol tomorrow he could play.

Awesome!

So if Burks plays then who is going to get hurt to take his spot on the IR for the jazz?

I refuse to shake in my boots over Houston, but James Harden just had a 53 point, 17 assist, 16 rebound game against the knicks. First ever 50-15-15 game in NBA history.

Rudy will be the second...15 pts, 15 rebs, 50 blocks. You wait and see...

Schedule breakdown for all teams in the month of January:

https://www.nba.com/article/2017/01/01/oklahoma-city-thunder-boston-celtics-january-schedule

If we perform well in our two 4-game-in-5-night stretches, we could gain ground on houston.

Memphis has a tough schedule, so we could gain some separation from them.

A lot is riding on this road trip and those 4-game-in-5-night stretches, broughs. Hopefully we have our depth.

Jazz won last night! They now have a 7 1/2 game cushion against dropping out of the playoffs.

Thunder lost! Rockets, Clippers and Warriors all won.

Tonight's games:

Jazz @ Celtics (been looking forward to this game all season)
Raptors @ Spurs
Grizzlies @ Lakers (Lakers win would help the Jazz but I just can't bring myself to cheer for them)

Houston's playing great, hopefully they start coming back to earth and the jazz can start closing that gap. The three seed would be awesome.

 

[Stoked]

Grrr...lost to Boston. I was really hoping for a better game. Not having Hill really hurt the Jazz.

Good news is that the grizzlies also lost so the damage was minimal. Jazz are now in 5th though. 1/2 game behind Clips and a 1/2 game ahead of OKC and Memphis.

Tonight's games:
Thunder @ Hornets
Grizzlies @ Clippers (win win)

 

[fishonjazz]

OKC and Memphis both lost last night. Clippers won.

Make this thread sticky please

OKC and Memphis both lost last night. Clippers won.

Make this thread sticky please

Will do!

Yes Memphis and OKC both lost tonight! Only downside is that the Clips won. But despite the Boston loss and even if we lose to the Raptors the Jazz will stay in 5th. need to start another win streak though, every win will count.

Tonight's games:

Jazz @ Raptors
Thunder @ Rockets (win win but a Thunder loss keeps them off our backs)
Spurs @ Nuggets
