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

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.

But I think the Spurs fear us. We did beat them handily earlier this year, and come playoff time, we should be a lot stronger, at least a lot healthier than we were then (especially if Favors rounds into form). I think Hill will know how to exploit them, and that is exactly what happened in that game. Hill is better than Parker now. Diaw also will be an asset against them.
 
This whole thread reeks of loser mentality bros. Happy with a win or two? Really!? Have a little more fun and expectations. It's a lot better take. If the players have the same thoughts as this thread this team will never amount to anything...ever, and thankfully I don't think they do.
 
who gives a flying trapdoodle where we finish, it'll be in the playoff and we just compete our guts out with whoever. Even if we're playing well there's every chance we'll get bumped in the first round, very few teams progress quicker than getting into the playoffs to start with. Look at Boston

I bet Gordon Hayward gives a flying crapadoodle. Barely in and an early out not as cool as home court advantage and the 2nd round.
 
I think the Jazz are better than Memphis and would win that matchup in 6. Conley and Randolph really have to bring their A game to beat us.

OKC really relies entirely on Westbrook to create offense. I'd be surprised if he can carry a team through a 7-game series with the Jazz throwing every scheme imaginable at him.

Clippers or Rockets, it's hard to tell where that series would go.

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 disagree. It's certainly possible we lose a first round series. You make a good point about playoff virgin teams losing. However, I wouldn't say the Jazz will lose with certainty. We have a top defensive team that's built for a playoff style of basketball. I think we can win series depending on seed and opponent. Especially if we have homecourt.
 
Overall though I'm not worried about our seed or the outcome of these playoffs. I'm more focused on one, two, three years down the road and how the Jazz FO builds a champion. I could give a s*** about playoffs. Let's think bigger.

I just want a competitive team, top 4 west team, like we've had so far. I doubt we win any championships in the near future. Heck OKC with Durant and Westbrook only got to one final.
 
I think it would be nice to host the warriors for two games. They'd probably still rest Durant don't you think?

We played Golden State extremely close last season (no Durant) in our two home games, we should've won at least the second meeting. So yeah, we might have a chance to at least win a game I would think.
