Jazz 2017/18 Playoff Bus! All Aboard!

Would be DAF to target the 7th spot by intentionally losing then somehow slip and fall out of the playoffs.

I'm sure the FO and the players will be looking to win games at every opportunity.

Or actually end up facing a healthy GSW and get swept. No point to that sort of anxiety. Let's just focus on what's in front of us.

I agree that we want to win every game and that 7th spot would be hard to target specifically. But I think it would offer us best chance of advancing, unless OKC drops and we end up playing Spurs or Wolves as 4th seed.
 
Dame is playing so well right now he almost scares me as much as facing Houston.

Yes, Portand is probably more beatable, but they are really locked in. Playing in their city scares me too.

I feel a lot more confident with gasp GS? WTF is wrong with me.
 
Since Gobert's return (18W 26L) :
1L, 1W, 1L, 11W ; (30W 28L)
1L, 1W, 1L, 9W ; (40W 30L)
1L, 1W, 1L, 1W... ; (42W 32L)

Logically, Jazz will win the next 6 games.

They will then finish the season 49-33, win their first round series 4-1 after losing the first game, win their second round series 4-2, the conference finals 4-3, then lose in the finals 1-4.

Why would we lose vs Toronto after beating all Western conference?

It's fine if Dame is playing well. To beat us though CJ also has to go off. When he's scoring the ball well, they're a different team.

The best scenario would be facing the Pelicans in a 4/5 matchup, but I wouldn't mind taking a swing at the Warriors without Steph. We have Crowder to guard KD, Ingles to guard Klay, and Rudy and Favs to guard Draymond.
 
I'd rather play an injured warriors than a healthy houston, but let's be serious. If we pushed the Warriors there is no way Curry sits for the whole series. He comes back the second after a little fear is put into them. So no reason to try and shoot for seventh. The injuries just make it more desirable than 8th.
