Playoff Race Thread

Looking at some of the other advance stuff. In general we need way less pull up threes, we pretty much suck at them. Although I think you need a few of them, but it should be cut back. We are excellent on spot of threes and a few guys need to shoot them more like KO. We are excellent on drives with our main guys, but Lauri needs more of them. We also need a few more pick and rolls in general. I wouldn't mind seeing Lauri try to be the ball handler in a couple of these a game. He can drive well and his passing needs to be used more. I am a little concerned about Lauri getting worn down though. He runs the most miles per game by a decent amount on both ends of the court. Sometimes that is his strength and really opens things up for us with the movement but his health is always a bit of a concern in his career.

I don't think I'd goes as low as 15%, but 25% sounds reasonable. I still think GSW, PHX, and LAL should be seen as favorites over us and there's only two spots. Small chance someone above flames out above them, but yeah....it's been an up and down (down and up?) year, but the Jazz are about where I expected them overall and I did not expect them to make it at the beginning of the season.

The vibes are so awful for GSW and LAL that I would favor the Jazz if both sides make no moves. I believe PHX will figure it out. The media isnt as loud over there, so I would assume the vibes arent as negative as it seems for the other two.

Vibes were awful for us like two weeks ago. Things change quickly, we’re only have way through. It will be up and down for the second half of the season just as the first half was.

How were the vibes awful? I didnt hear any quotes from the team that would suggest that.

Lebron is talking about how Bronny could play for the Lakers now and how much the Lakers suck.

Draymond exist for the Warriors and their veteran rookie contract guys want to throw a munity on a multi-time championship coach.

They were not good when we were getting pummeled. Point is…”vibes” are extremely temporary. Lakers had the best vibes in the league when they won the preseason tournament. It will be up and down. No one gets to the playoffs because of vibes at the beginning of January.

Vibes might be temporary, but they exist in real-time and influence wins/losses which are on your permanent record.

And from what i can tell, the vibes were always positive in Utah. You dont turn around a stinker start with bad vibes.

I’m just not going to look a team’s recent form, not even half way through the season, and use that to make a judgement on the remaining half. Like I said, teams will be up and down. At least one of these 5 teams is probably going to flame out for one reason or another. Health is going to be a big factor, and for the Jazz there’s still a good chance we trade players to one of the teams we are in direct competition with just like last year.

5th/6th seed here we come.

This year is starting to remind me of the “we will be fine” year where we were dead in the water and then suddenly everything clicked. Hopefully we can keep up the momentum all the way to the playoffs like we did that year.

Leading the way with that Net rating is Kessler with a whopping +19.

This is what my eyes have been seeing. I often check the score when kessler enters the game and then check it again when he exits. Our lead almost always increases (or our deficit decreases) when he comes in. For whatever reason.

At a press conference right before this nice jazz streak hardy was extremely pissed. saying something like, these guys dont respect the uniform or dont want to be part of the jazz..... something like that. The jazz beat guy i heard on the radio yesterday was talking about it. So there were some bad vibes for sure.
