Jazz 2017/18 Playoff Bus! All Aboard!

So true. OKC is bad matchup for us. Doesn't mean Portland is easy in any way, but we match up better. OKC has Adams who is one of the few centers in this league who makes it difficult for Gobert, plus Westbrook, a rim attacking machine who might be bothered by Gobert but is also one of the few guards that will manage to draw fouls from him. I don't like that matchup one bit.

We should try to keep on winning as much as possible and see what happens, no need to get all calculating at this stage anyway, but if on the last game of the year there is a decision to make between finishing 6th and playing Portland or finishing 5th and playing OKC... well I wouldn't want to be in the shoes of the staff.

Ok okc leads 3-1 against us BUT if I remember, we won the 1st game with gobert and Dm, the 2nd game we lost just by 6 but we lead the whole game, the 3rd we lose hardly cause Rudy and Dm weren't there and the 4th game we lose by 14 but gobert wasn't there. I mean with no injuries and more experience now, I don't really scare to play okc. We have to stay healthy and focus. I'm confident, we can beat every team when we are playing hard in defense and when we are focus

That is unbelievable!!! We lost a franchise player... had injuries to our best player... gave the ball to a rookie all year in crunch time, traded away our second best scorer, had a 18 - 34 start, and we...

Nearly match our record from the previous year!?!?!?!

Yeah it's crazy! It's why I say ROTY For Dm COY for coach Q and DPOY for Ruuudy

Also Ingles for Most Improved and DOL for Executive of the year.

Also Ingles for Most Improved and DOL for Executive of the year.

There’s been almost no talk for Jingles as Most Improved Player. Think he should definitely be in that conversation - at least so casual NBA fans can learn to appreciate his humor and clever wit.

Denver is going to lose tonight in Miami. However, I'm having a hard time seeing GSW beating the Spurs in SA.

I love me some Jingles, but MIP has to go to Olidipo.

5th may be the best we can hope for. I think Portland is uncatchable. And OKC is playing great AND owns the tiebreaker.

This and that is not taking anything from Ingles.

I don’t disagree at all, but I do think there should be more chatter about Jingles nationally. He should be in the conversation, but that hasn’t seemed to happen yet.

Interesting fact alluded to but not stated in that article. Remove all of the Rudy Gobert lineups and the Jazz STILL have the best defense in the NBA over the last 23 games. Amazing. . .
