Rough Seas Ahead

[NUMBERICA]

I would cream myself if that actually happened.

Also, to anyone going to the game that night, show some ****ing class.

Hoping for 5-5, preparing for 3-7.

Same.

I know I should be rooting for a playoff spot, but a lottery pick is much more important for long-term success. I'd be more enthused if the youngsters were playing better. But it's Jefferson, Howard and Millsap leading the way. Maybe the true "star" of the team will come via the draft or in a trade KOC makes with some combination of the TPE, expirings and the lottery pick(s).

I see 5-5 myself. 3-7 will be disappointing but eh, I wouldn't be all that upset. I would truly be upset with anything less than that.

Put me down for 5 and 5. If Al continues to pass out, Howard continues to look like his old self, Millsap stays agressive, Hayward get more agressive and plays the 2, we could do better than 5-5.

Before the season I had them at 4-6 in this stretch, and that still sounds about right. I've tasted the Kool-aid provided by a 5-game streak, but I'm not yet drinking it.

I have them down for wins over the Nets, Wolves, Raptors and Kings. That gives them 4 home losses (Lakers, Clippers, Dallas and Blazers), so I could see them improving on that IF they keep playing well.

7-3(6-4 if we lose tonight)

 

[carolinajazz]

....I see 9-1...with the only loss coming to Dallas in Dallas! The rest of that bunch are chump teams! We shot almost 60% last night! NBA teams are regularly shooting in the 30% range these days!!!

 

[fallenchicken]

8-2 bitches.

 

[Park Bites]

My guess is 4-6 but I am cheering for 10-0

Nets
Twolves
Raptors
Kings

Those games we have to win just to help with the gs pick

 

[Fishsticks]

As long as young guys are playing and the team is competing and playing smart, then wins and losses don't really concern me.

[Cocaine]

8-2 with losses to the Lakers and Nuggets.

However, I would like the Jazz to have a particularly good showing against the Nets. I still can't help but fantasize that a reformed D-Will comes back (provided the Jazz have the cap space after dumping Harris and maybe Jefferson).

For anyone that is against this idea I would just point to another "prodigal son" who just returned home and tell me you wouldn't get goosebumps if DWill did the basketball version of this in his first game back at the ESA as a member of the Jazz:

I know the quality of this video is poor, so if you can't make out what he's saying as he's pounding Arsenal's crest, it's "I'M BACK!"
