Utah Jazz 2018-19 Championship Bus CHOO CHOO

I really REALLY hate to say this, but my logical side is telling me we look like a first round exit.

I agree but we have 24 games to figure some little things out, get some chemistry back, and see if Ricky has a little magic in him, yet.
 
6 back of the 3 seed with 24 games to go. I see no chance at it now. That said...

The next 9 for the Thunder--only 3 at home...only 2 vs clear non-playoff teams.
Kings--tonight (could be exhausted and lose)
at Nuggets--could lose
Sixers--could lose
at Spurs--could lose
Grizzlies
at Wolves--possible loss
at Blazers--could lose
at Clippers--could lose
at Jazz--could lose

Our next 9...5 at home...5 vs clear, non-playoff teams.
Mavs--I think we win
Clips
at Nuggets--tough
Bucks--tough but I like our chances
Pels
at Pels
at Grizz
Thunder--revenge, better win
at Suns

I think we could gain a couple games there, maybe even 3-4 games if things fall right. Who knows.
 
He doesn’t. I’m done(hope to eat crow) but I’m off the Rubio train.

Even if he picks things up and plays better I am done with Rubio. I hope he plays better and we make a decent run in the playoffs but even then I am ready to move on from him. He just doesnt fit the team and his shooting is always going to be too inconsistent.

We could play Gobert and Favors together more if we had a PG that was a threat from 3. Those two are great together on defense. They are okay on offense and can work but not with Rubio.
 
Rubio can play basketball to his strenghts just like any other player. He's in a hard situation playing with Favors and Gobert. They just do not fit well. Moreover, coaching staff is not doing him any favor mantaining him on court when he's not the ballhandler. What's the point of Rubio standing at the corner? Neto or O'Neal would play that role way better.
I can understand players mistakes when they are playing their limits. But I cannot understand this kind of coaching errors. And I really like Snyder.

As of today, even with Blazers win over the 76ers, 538 has Jazz, Rockets, and Blazers all tied for 4th with a 49-33 record. This unfortunately puts the Blazers 4th and the Jazz 5th because Portland went 4-3 this season against Jazz/Rockets, we went 4-4 against Blazers/Rockets and Rockets went 3-4 against Jazz/Blazers.
