TBH I'm worried about where the Jazz will end up in the playoffs

[Doublea]

The Jazz have one of the hardest remaining schedules of the top 7 west playoff teams. They currently are on the wrong side of tiebreakers against Memphis (1-3), the Thunder (1-2), and the Clippers (0-2). All four of these teams are going to end with close records it looks like. I'm worried that we are going to fall to 7th or something sad like that....

Anywhere we play we are going to have to nut up and win. Regular season records dont matter once you are in the playoffs (after seeding ofc)

We stomp the hottest home team in the NBA then the next game we lose by 3 after a team had a historic 3pt shooting run and all the sudden we are back to not being able to beat any good teams the world is over.

I am hoping for the 3rd or 4th seed. Yes we have a hard schedule but I hope they even p those tiebreakers and just keep winning.

Why should he STFU? He expresses a legit concern. The Jazz' seeding is by no means assured. It is not an unrealistic outcome (and indeed has a good chance of happening) that the Jazz slipp down to the 5th, 6th or 7th seed. I'm concerned about it too, as I'd rather, all else equal, have a higher seed (and 4th in particular) than a lower seed, and home court if we can get it. Sure, the Jazz will have to 'nut up' and win a series, but series' are all about matchups, and the likelihood of winning a series is strongly a function of who you're playing. Who do we match up best against, GS, SA, Houston or LA? Personally, I'd take LA and/or Houston, in fact, I think we'd match up best against Houston, so I don't mind a slip to the 6th seed, but we definitely want to avoid SA in Round 1, I think.

Just my opinion.

Idc where we finish, as long as it's in teh playoffs. Anyone can get this 1st round dick. Actaully, I'd probably rather finish with teh 8th seed now more than any other seed besides 1st.

If KD is injured, then I'd wanted to play GSW as early as possible before he gets healthy in teh later rounds of the playoffs.

We've been playing really well since all star break, OKC's game included. If anything, I'm more confident about this team's chances than before the break.

It doesn't matter who we play, we are going to make a first round exit. We will be playing against a team with playoff experience, and we will lose.

That happens to every team that are playoff virgins. If the Jazz make it out of the second round it'll be nothing less than a miracle.

I tend to agree. I don't forsee us getting out of the first round, although I do think our chances are better if we play LA or Houston. I'm hopeful, but not too optisimtic. In any case, I want a competitive series not some 4 or 5 and done.

4th seed

Dante might still be a virgin as he's barely hit puberty.

I think with or without home court it's a likelihood the Jazz lose in the 1st round. Success, for me, would be winning a couple of games. Anything beyond that is gravy, IMO.
