2016-17 Hype Train Playoff Chase!!!

Frankly, aside from unforeseen injuries to star players, I don't see much hope for catching either Rockets or Clippers. Griffin should return soon to Clips and they're already on a winning streak with Paul leading the way. Could the unforeseen happen? Sure, but I think we'll have enough fight on our hands just trying to hold off the Grizzlies and Thunder.
 
If Houston is the 3 seed then I want to be the 6 seed. We beat them and avoid the Warriors in the second round.

No they wont.

They are 11-9 against above .500 teams. By comparison we are 6-11. So not only have they played more good teams than us, they have won a higher % of those games. They've also played a league leading 22 road games so far. I think they are pretty much locked into the 3rd seed unless Harden gets injured.

Bringing up our record proves nothing though, since we've been injured so much. Otherwise, I agree that Houston is for real, and will be hard to catch. However, if things start to click, not only could we catch Houston, we might be able to catch SA for #2. Not likely, but certainly possible. I think the only spot that's for sure out of reach is #1.

I just did it to show Houston has actually had a fairly tough schedule, or at least a harder one than us, so I doubt they fall apart as their season becomes easier.
 
Jazz have had an almost perfect week!!! They just won their 4th in a row. Hayward was named Western Player Of The Week, took firm control of the 5th seed!

Now Hood has the bone bruise and Hill twisted his ankle but the Jazz don't play again till Friday @ Mavs. Three days to heal up and get right.

Also the Blazers and Thunder lost last night. The Clippers won but Paul sprained his thumb and while his x-ray came back negative he might miss some time. Also Griffin is still out. Jazz have a good schedule...time to take firm control of the 4th seed.

Tonight's games:

Rockets @ Heat
T-Wolves @ Spurs

OP updated with standings and power rankings.

Idk. I think I rather face the Clippers than Houston.

Houston is really good.

I think the Jazz can beat either of them. But I'd prefer to do it with home court advantage. That's far more likely a match up against LAC.

Do you still think Houston is bad at defense?


EDIT: not just bad at defense! You said they don't play any defense.
