Jazz 2017/18 Playoff Bus! All Aboard!

So many crazy scenarios for tiebreak, and so much left to determine. Jazz need to beat Minn, SA and LAC just to really put themselves ahead of those teams. Minn, Den, OKC would all likely have the 2 way tiebreaker (but depends how Den finishes in division games). Need to hope to pass these 3 the most. The rest, I think Jazz would have a good chance at winning any tiebreaker scenario, but would totally depend on which 2 teams.

Its kinda fun to look at, but very confusing. Hopefully Jazz end up 2-3 games ahead of all of them at the 4 seed so we don't have to worry about it.

But the OKC tiebreaker is what I called would kill us when we lost it

From what I can tell the main teams we need to be concerned about ending in a 3 way tie with are OKC/MIN. The Clippers, Spurs, Nuggets and Pelicans dont have many wins against Utah+anyone we are likely to he tied with.

Yep, but still ways the Jazz could win a 3 way team with either of them, would have to be the Spurs or LAC, and Jazz probably need to beat Minn April 1.

Never mind. POR turned it on at the end. They are probably out of reach at this point.

Probably so, their next 7 game stretch is tough though. They see Cleveland, Detroit, LAC (away), Boston, Houston, OKC (away), NOP (away). They could go 2-5 or 3-4, and if Utah takes care of business they'd be nipping at their heels again.
 
Portland is like last year's Celtics. Good team who are playing better than you expect on the back of their star's hero ball play in the 4th quarter. Lillard being overly reliant on hero ball was always the knock on Lillard, but he is hot this year.

At this point I think it's better for us if Portland beats LAC, OKC, and NOP.
 
Everyone in the mix is playing tonight.

Denver - LAL should be a fun game tonight. I think The Lakers pull off an upset.

Jamal Murray will have a bullseye on his back for sure.

Would be nice to get some help from The Wizards tonight - but they've been crazy inconsistent.

Otherwise gimme home games for SAS and NOP.

OKC should roll too even though they looked like crap last night.

LAC should win too.
