Disappointing facts: Jazz vs. Playoff Teams

I disagree. I think we win a game or two against the warriors.

I don't remember the year but I think it was against the Lakers(DWill era) where the home games were really close, and the road games were bad blowout losses. I would expect something similar barring injuries.

We have only had three games with hill, hayward, hood, favors and gobert together? Damn, im impressed that we have as many wins as we do and have a good chance for homecourt advantage in the playoffs. Injuries have been insane for us this season.

Edit: I hope you didn't include last nights memphis game in your post. Favors was out iirc.

Just double checked. We only lost to memphis 1 time with our starters all healthy.

Are we playing better now than when we were injured? We've had an easy stretch, in which we managed to squeeze out tough wins against bad teams. I'm hoping we gel as the season progresses, but right now, we're looking like a first round exit.

.500 isn't unreasonable, imo.

On the flipside they're playing these better teams much more closely than they have in the past.

The Jazz are still discovering what their identity is as a better than average team, IMO. Any expectations beyond making the playoffs this year are a bit overblown.

I don't think it's that disappointing. What was the expectation? 16-9?

Among the top 7 teams in the west, we are by far the worst vs. Playoff teams. Everyone else has a .500 or better record vs. Playoff teams.
Golden State: 17-5
San Antonio: 16-6
Houston: 13-11
LA Clippers: 12-11
OKC: 12-12
Memphis: 14-12

To answer your question, a .500 record vs. playoff teams seems like a realistic expectation given that our closest peers in the playoff standings seem to be meeting or exceeding that benchmark.
Denver has a similar losing record like the Jazz, 7-15. So we're basically on par with a losing team that is squeeking into the playoffs as an 8th seed. To me, yes, this is disappointing...

So that would mean that teams like memphis, clippers, and okc are losing to non playoff teams more often than the jazz right?

Would it be better if we beat memphis and okc but were losing to Sacramento and the 76ers?
