Playoff Race Thread

It's wild, and the fact that it never happens in the league could also be taken to mean that the Jazz 3 game streak is a giant fluke.

I don't care though. A W is a W.
I think we outplayed 2 of those 3 teams in a way where double digit win was the correct result. But as you said, W is W.
 
Having a good season this year will really help us secure Lauri long term in the summer. Then we get either Flagg or Boozer's son to Utah to complete the rebuild.
Mark my words: Cooper Flagg will have the most underwhelming one-and-done season in living memory.

He's done nothing but beat up on undersized high school kids.
 
This is the depth I expected to punish teams in the regular season showing up lately. We have a really deep team. When you have starting quality guys in Keyonte, Clarkson, KO, and Kessler coming off the bench that will lead to a lot of wins. Even Agbaji especially lately is a starter level guy with his Defense and hopefully the 3 starts landing again.

We are 2.5 games behind the 5th seed right now! I would love to secure a playoff spot out right.

I'm still waiting trade deadline before getting too optimistic. Some teams have the capacity to attract star players and it may change the second part of the season.

Who cares if GSW or Lakers go on a late run? We are not looking downwards at all, we are looking up towards that group of Kings, Pels and Mavs and hoping to crash that party.

We have the best form in the NBA in last 10 (9-1) and last 15 (12-3). We are also not winning bad teams by small margins, we are winning against good teams with double digit margins. We made the Bucks and Nuggets looks like non-contenders.

Time to swich channels and watch future champions in action instead of that team of former Jazz greats in Minnesota.

A team of Kessler, KO, Ochai, Clarkson and George would probably end up above the Pistons, Wizards and Spurs by themselves.
 
Great video that actually breaks down some of our favourite offensive actions:

I had to watch on mute, so I apologize if I’m just regurgitating something the vid said…

Kessler’s development as a cutter is pretty huge for us. Because of Lauri’s ability to bend defenses, and the fact that we have enough shooting threats, he’s able to spread out beyond the dunker’s spot and time his cuts into a defense that’s distracted by other things.
