3. Nuggets 49-37
4. Thunder 47-35
5. Jazz 47-35
6. Spurs 47-35
7. Blazers 46-36
8. clippers 46-36
Pelicans and twolves miss at 45-35.

Not sure how tie breakers work in a case of 4,5,6 but jazz have it over spurs, okc over jazz, and spurs/ okc tied at 1-1 with 2 more against each other.
Basicly anywhere from 3 to not making it. With only a few games separating 3 through missing completely

Quin's offense is easy to defend for teams that switch on pick and rolls. Other teams have discovered this predictability, have been doubling/switching and then covering the passing lanes. I'd love to see the team bring back a few old Jazz sets from time to time. Make all 5 defenders work hard on each play. Teams used to hate playing us. Back screens everywhere, tons of movement. "Advantage" basketball seems to have a lot of disadvantages.

Hopefully out of the playoffs.
Jazz need help...at least two players: 1) a PF who can shoot; 2) guard help for Donovan. Mitchell is not Westbrook or Harden. He can't be the PG AND be an efficient scorer. Rubio has some hot streaks, but he's still Bricky. Will Dante be the answer? Not sure. Crowder and Royce are rotational players, but neither appear to be the answer as starters. I think a starter can be had in the lottery. It gets harder to find that type of player in the later teens or 20's.

So, one player via lottery, one player via trade or free agency. Or, more likely I believe, would be a trade of our pick for a player. Wouldn't have wanted to trade a pick in the top-8 or so, which is where the Jazz stood in the initial Mirotic talks, but around 12-14 may be attractive to a rebuilding team looking to trade a vet.

Out of the playoffs? So we can get "help" that won't really help for a couple years? So out of the playoffs next year and the year after, too?

Bye Rudy. Thanks for wasting your time here, but we needed "help" so we wasted your prime years. You're welcome.
 
I am in a personal conundrum. I always want to see the Jazz win. the story line of a rookie leading a team to the playoffs is great but on the other hand I want to see the Jazz continue to build through the draft.
 
So we didnt get any help from a couple of rookies this year?

Bye Rudy, we drafted a stiff at #20 and signed some guy from the Dollar Store to plat PF.

Notice i also said the pick could be traded (well, the rights to the player the Jazz draft). Thats actually my prediction. Unless Utah ends up top-3, i anticpate a trade.

If you put a gun to my head right now I'd say 9th. The winning streak was fun but I really don't think that's who we are offensively. Anthony Davis is doing historic things, Nuggets have more talent, TWolves are still pretty good, and have a good lead over us. I just don't know who we can jump if we can't even put up 100 points consistently.

We do have an easy schedule, and it's certainly not a done deal. Just my thoughts at this moment. If we rattle off ten straight here then obviously things change.

But the storyline of 'Mitchell sort of hits rookie wall, Jazz can't find enough offense and fall to one too many beatable teams to miss the playoffs' seems about as likely as any.

Let's just remember that before the streak playoffs weren't even a thought but we were still very excited for the future. Looking at this playoff chase as house money is a good way to go I think. Should be fun either way.

i think it could end up something like 5-6 teams within one win of each other. We've definitely come back to earth ..but the Wolves have lost Butler which is huge. AD can't keep doing what he's doing every night (and is due to break down) and the Nuggets can score but their defense is atrocious. I still think one or two of the other teams will stumble to a degree. It's great, it's like and extended playoffs for the next 6 weeks !
