Is There A Disadvantage In Finishing First?

Nah, I want to see Jazz face Lakers or Steph. You first place Jazz will be bounced in first round.

Ever hear of a guy named Scott Sharp? He's a race car driver who won the pole at Indy in 2001. This is true: he crashed his car on the first corner of the first lap. That will be the Jazz. You grabbed first place (the pole) and all that means is you will crash out in first round (first corner/first lap).

Jazz fans expect this:

- I'll root for Jazz over both LA teams, Grizz, Spurs, and maybe Denver and Suns.
Melo, Dallas, Warriors I will root for over Jazz

And if by miracle you get to The Finals (meaning Covid-21 sidelines all west teams except Jazz):
- I'll root for Jazz over all East teams except Knicks and Heat.

No, we either play a team that lost a game, then won a game, or a team that won 2 games in a row.

That's not true at all.

The eight seed you will face is a team that has won its previous game. In fact it actually could be a team that won two in a row.

Their previous game, meaning the game before the one they won.

Uhh, you're gonna need a bigger dictionary. One that actually has the word "previous" in it. As it stands right now, you have no idea how to use the word "previous."

Here's what you wrote:
"the team we face is a team that lost their previous game."
No, the team you face will be a team that won their previous game. That's why you are facing them...they won their previous game and moved on in the playoffs.

Throw this one out and spend some bucks on one that has the word "previous" in it.

Hey, you still don't know who you are playing. :D

You know a pitcher on the Yanks threw a no-hitter yesterday. Maybe you should prepare for the Yanks.

We know it's either going to be a young team with little experience or a team where everyone knows who the designated chucker is.

I like our chances.

My Knicks (second best team in NBA) finished in fourth place. We have a week off and we know our opponent - the Hawks. We can study thousands of minutes of film on the Hawks, run play after play in practice simulating Hawks D and O, and if we want we have a whole week to pull a Tonya Harding on Trae Young.

But you Jazz finished in first, most likely will play your first playoff game on Sunday, but won't know your opponent until Friday night! Do you find that wrong? Sure the Jazz have books on the play-in teams, but you really do lose out on a week's worth of simulating practicing and film work against those teams.

Disadvantage to finishing in first?

What are the hawks doing during this time? The same thing the Knicks are doing. No clue how this gives one team an advantage. Every team has the same time to prepare as their opponent.

Uhh, read the thread. The point has been made earlier in the thread that give better coaches time and they will have an advantage over lesser coaches with the same amount of time. Our coach Thibs has already won one Coach Of The Year award (looking at two); he is one of the best coaches in NBA. He and the Hawks coach given the same amount of time to prepare favors Thibs' and his team.

Coach Quin given the same amount of time to prep as coach of Memphis....I'd say the advantage swings towards Snyder. You lost any advantage simply because the one seed doesn't find out who they play until 24 hours before series starts.
 
You know what, we live in a new time, out with the old and in with the new. LeBron has looked old lately. The refs going give him every call. Just like most Lakers game they are down at half they was in bonus 3 minutes into 3rd. He controls nba and wants a ring so we bout to see if they going let them play or just going to over for LBJ.

The disrespect the Jazz,Suns, and Nuggets are getting is uncalled for. I've seen national writers saying barring injuries he doesn't see how any of the top 3 makes the finals. It's pretty disrespectful but hey he is the King and everyone below him are his subjects. It's bS. If NBA just whistle after Whistle for Lebron to make finals that will be it for me. I'll be done with the NBA and will stick to college men's and women's hoops
