Jazz 2017/18 Playoff Bus! All Aboard!

Had 7 AST last night. His FGA are down. And his shooting %. REB normal. He's had only two PF in the last three games. And 0 steals in 8 out of 9 games. Maybe he's sick.

I'm a big Ingles fan. Guy competes and I love his grit and head games. I want him on the Jazz for many seasons to come. But the SF position is a primary position I'd look at upgrading. Move Ingles to the bench.

I think he is better guarding 2s, but don't sleep on this guy. He does a ton that doesn't show up in the boxscore... as far as winning players he's one of the best we have. His contract descends so by the end he won't be as overpaid as you might think. I think he ages well, because he does not rely on athleticism basically at all. He's an amazing glue guy on and off the court. Put a more dynamic wing next to him and move DM to the point and he's great.

Joe is being asked to do a little too much sometimes. Having more shooting on the floor would help him a bunch... I'm noticing less and less space for him on his shots.
 
One more note on Ingles... in two years he makes a little under 12M and final year of his deal is under 11M... cap will be roughly 108-110M at that point... Ingles at 10-11% of your cap won't hurt us.

His biggest assets are his brain and long arms. He needs to maintain a certain level of athleticism but if he slows down a bit I don't see him being much worse than his current level of play. Maybe reduce his minutes a bit.
 
Ingles may be the most underrated player in the NBA, even his own teams fans want to trade him for some reason.

Eh, he gets paid pretty well, starts, and doesn’t put up great numbers. Most underrated player in the nba is pretty hyperbolic imo.
 
Great way to close out this year and this brutal December.

Great night for the Jazz. They get the big win and New Orleans, Denver and Portland lose.

After that awful month we are only 3.5 games back from the 6 seed and 2 1/2 games out of the playoffs with a head to head coming up next game between NO.

Between finishing the hardest schedule of any team for any month this year and having so many players miss games we are looking like we have a decent to good shot at making the playoffs. Hopefully we get higher than an 8 seed.
 
Making the playoffs at all this year is a hell of an accomplishment. I’m curious to see how the rest of the year pans out. Jazz are too good to tank properly, but might not be good enough to make the postseason. Trade deadline, stretch run and offseason this year are going to be fascinating.

One of the fun things about trying to make the playoffs rather than tanking is that the last few weeks feel like an extended playoffs.

**** the tank
 
My brother says the Jazz are no good this year. Can't stand to watch.

I'm all for being the underdog and scraping up a bit of glory. You don't get good picks tanking. You get them on the street, say in some carwash in LA. Go find a couple of kids who work hard, say one who can pass and one who can shoot.

Other than that, never throw in on any game.

I really should watch one game.
