Playoff Race Thread

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Since it seems like the Jazz are an actual legit play-in contender now, might as well start a playoff thread. I dedicate this thread to @Thee Idiotic Minivan K



Crazy that the Jazz are ahead of the Warriors in the standings despite playing 7 more road games.

That's the big positive sign for me, the Jazz have played a ton of road games and they are a terrible road team. The Rockets have only played 14 road games and are an even worse road team. The Suns have only played 15 road games as well (though they had played the same on the road vs home).

Kings are struggling. Now have a negative point differential and have only played 15 road games.

New Orleans seems to be legit. As long as they keep relative health, they should be in it.

The Kings, Rockets, Suns, and Lakers are all teams Utah could pass.

No one has solved the zone defense. It might just work in the long-term with our active guards and Kessler. Hardy is giving Ainge a headache that he thought he solved. Lol.

I think this is what Ainge wants. He likes to have his options.

If the Jazz are nipping on the heals of teams that really want to win now, it gives them a bonus incentive to deal with us at it weakens their competition and improves their team.

The way things have recently changed, I would not be surprised if the Jazz make the playoffs and advance one round in the playoffs this year.

Been saying they are a playoff team all year.

Good thread

Gun to my head, I think this season ends up just like last season. I think we end up trading winning players directly to our playoff competition and then quit on the playoff race after the deadline.

The way the zone is working with Dunn we could ascend to 6th or 5th seed.
