So I think we are kinda hosed... I think almost every team benefited from a pause so their dudes could get healthy... except us... we lost our 3rd-4th best player and at a position that it’s tough for us to fill. Portland, New Orleans, Houston (was wearing out and it looks like Harden is in the best shape of his life now), Memphis will likely get 2-3 players back... #darkesttimeline


I expect this to be ugly... like possibly 2-6 and a gentleman’s sweep in the playoffs.

We're getting a fresh Mike Conley in return. I think #playoffmike will bring back his miraculous play in the playoffs and lead us to some upset victories.

Maybe... even when Mike was making shots this year our team never looked like they clicked... maybe it happens now... IDK just sucks we somehow got less healthy and everyone else is more healthy.
 
So the way this was supposed to play out was that the Clippers would end up in the 4th seed with Houston 5th. The Clippers would take out the Rockets in the 1st round, then the Lakers in the 2nd round. The Jazz would beat Dallas in a 3/6 matchup, then beat Denver in a 2/3 matchup and have a close series with the Clips in the WCF.

As it stands now, I don't mind if the Jazz fall to the 5th or even 6th seed. I think we can win a round. We'll miss Bogey, but Mitchell will be unchained, Clarkson will be playing for a new contract, and hopefully Rudy won't be pouting. Depending on the matchup, we might be able to get some mileage out of Niang and Brantley.

Lakers will have the #1 seed wrapped up by the time we play them, at least the 2nd time. They'll rest guys to limit risk of injury (See Davis, Anthony), and we'll get one of those games. We'll also pick up wins against Memphis, San Antonio and maybe OKC to go 4-4 or 3-5.

Jazz are going to look like a bunch of guards coming off Rudy screens and attacking the paint--Mitchell, Clarkson, Conley, Mudiay.

Serious question: when was the last time a Jazz player recovered from a medical procedure on the short end of the timetable?

We had a ded player come back and play for a few games one time... but we don't know if it was a weekend at bernies type situation.

We are really conservative... no need to rush Bojan back for the poopfest tournament.
