The importance of winning the 3rd seed for this Jazz team

I think he may just be saying that is a much better route than the 4 or 5 seed which I agree with. 3 is a lot better than 4. And I think 6 seed would be better than 5 also.

Memphis is definitely not "likely" to be 6th seed though. It could be anyone of Grizz, Clippers, Thunder.

Also I'd take OKC over Grizz how the teams are constructed now.
 
Most likely the best case scenario is us gettng the 3 seed and ending up with OKC>Spurs>Warriors
 
Jazz vs Grizz... I love Rudy but Gasol is a tough match-up. Gasol is playing as good as any big man in the league right now.
 
I think our bench depth gives us an advantage over the Grizz. Having Burks, JJ and Favors in the 2nd unit is our advantage. I think we'd win that series in 6.

I actually like our chances against the Rockets if we can get them in a series. Again, it's our depth while defense becomes a bigger factor usually in the POs.
 
Third seed would be awesome! But I would wish for Memphis to be the 4th seed in that case. Have no interest in playing Memphis first round. I would expect Memphis to beat the Jazz. They are one of very few teams that can outclass us at PG and C, and they have a defense on par with the Jazz. A potential 2nd round matchup of Grizz vs Dubs is wonderful for Utah (assuming Utah can do some winning in the playoffs).

Also, Marc Gasol is getting criminally underrated by everyone not named Charles Barkley. He is one of the best players in the league. He is usually the biggest guy on the court, and he's a playmaker.
 
I also would not mind playing the Dubs in the second round so the 4th seed is fine too. I want us to experience "the best" and what it takes to beat the best and in turn, be the best. I want to see if we can compete with that juggernaut and win one game, maybe even two. I think that would do more for our long-term confidence and success than getting the Spurs in the 2nd round, because in my opinion, the final obstacle in the West for the foreseeable future is the Dubs anyway so it's a great experience for us.

plus they know and use every dirty hold/grab in the book. They would severely out 'nasty' us.

I'm not saying I'd favor them in a series against us... but not fearing them is straight-up ridiculous.

"nasty"? A lame NBA buzzword. They're the easiest matchup for us.

Hayward is more likely to stay if we make it to the WCF. We're much more promising as a FA destination for all athletes. Come on bruh.

The difference of CP3 + Blake vs. our 1 + 4 >> the difference between Marc and Mike vs. George and Rudy
