Interesting. I guess I hadn’t been paying enough attention to know the Grizzlies could move into a higher spot with a win over the Warriors. That wouldn’t be bad as the Warriors would have to beat both SA and Memphis to play us.

Incredible that Utah can clinch home court advantage up through the Finals considering the fact that the Eastern conference has an easier strength of schedule. Granted, if the Nets were healthier and not playing the resting game they'd likely have a better record.

Yep. And honestly there is a path that the jazz could take and become legendary champs.

I mean if they went through the Lakers, clipper, suns, and nets and won it all then that would mean that beat the defending champs and LeBron freaking James, 2 time NBA champ (or is it 3 time?) And 2 time finals MVP kawhi Leonard, the #2 seed and cp3 (or maybe they get the nuggets somehow and beat the reigning league mvp), and then beat possibly the superest of super teams of all time.

That would be epic.

Having said that, **** all that noise. Give me Memphis, then the Mavs, then the blazers or someone and then the heat.

I just want a title. Don't care about the path taken.

The Nets might never be healthier than they have been. An uptick of physical health might well be met with a down tick of mental health—with all that being together which would result from physical health.

Man the lakers have been hurt and struggling for so long that i kinda forgot just how scary they are when they have everyone.
Looking at the box score from their game today and they go like 10-11 good rotation player deep. And then you have lebron and AD at the top end talent. Then you have the refs and the entire nba wanting them to win.
Man i hope we can beat them if we get them in round one. I will admit that im scared though.
Lebron
AD
Schroeder
Drummond
Caldwell-pope
Matthews
Harrell (i love that dude)
kuzma
gasol
caruso
Morris
mclemore

I think the same is True for the Lakers and maybe even the Clippers. People are acting like come playoffs they will be completely different teams than they've been all year and that all injuries will just vanish.

The Nets have three of the most sensitive spoiled brats in the history of sports. So far, they’ve liked the idea of playing together.... and, so far, the whole project is still kinda stuck there at the idea phase.

But the league is tipped in the direction of their offensive skills. Sometimes brats get away with ****.

Yeah, whenever I am watching them I am like "oh, forgot they also have that dude, oh and how is that other dude suddenly there too". Watched their game today, AD and Lebron both played and even if you could see they are not pushing it they can still do plenty of things effortless and create gravity making others job around easy. I don't want to test them in first round.

There will be more time between games in the play offs so..yes.. the teams will be somewhat different in terms of rest.

yep
on the other hand i have supreme confidence in the jazz as well. I think we are about as deep and talented as anyone.
Looking at the lakers roster vs the jazz i see it something like this (based off what i think might be the 9 man playoff rotations. I dont really know the lakers rotation that well so i might be wrong with them):
Lebron > Donovan
AD > Gobert
Conley > schroeder
bogey > caldwell pope
Joe = Harrell
clarkson > kuzma
Royce = drummond
favors = gasol
niang = markieff
Quin > Vogel.

Looking at that i think we would have a good chance especially with homecourt. The refs would worry me though.

Was i too homerish for the jazz in these comps? Too much credit to the lakers? about right?

I guess you got it more or less right. Lakers can play really hard, physical defense and that's where refs can really help them by swallowing the whistle. Also there is that narrative that they are vulnerable now but maybe they will push and fight in first rounds and reaggravate those health issues and actually be worse later? Hard to predict. Anyway this is a championship boat so still: full steam ahead!
