OKC turfs it in Washington

[craig2112]

Weird season just keeps getting weirder.

It's very important this year to get wins against the really bad teams. With the short season, these kinds of losses will really hurt in the end.

It's important for the jazz to not let this happen to them.

 

[Dr. Jones]

No doubt. 1-12 takes down 12-2. Massive upset. Wall with 27pts, 7rbs, 8asts.

What gives me hope is seeing how this jazz team is giving a solid effort every night.
That is what wins road games.

When the Jazz win tomorrow they will be only 1 1/2 games out of first in the west. In a wierd reversal of the natural order having a 10-4 record puts us right on the heels of a #1 seed in the west but tied with 3 teams for 3rd seed in the East. So based on tie breakers we could be a 6th seed there. What the hell?

A lot of east teams have gotten fat off of feasting on the lame teams in the east. The east has a few top teams, and a lot of bottom feaders.

Look at how quite a few east teams are losing to west teams tonight..


well....except for OKC

Thus the reason that I said previously the West 8th seed and last in the West will only be maybe 4 or 5 games by years end. Back to Backs and Back to Back to Backs will automatically be losses for some teams as the season goes on.

KD showing off for his D.C. area fam with 10-3 point attempts, only hitting 2. Too bad the Nuggets and Spurs pulled out squeakers.

It's a long season folks.

I have no doubt the Jazz, Heat, Lakers, Spurs, etc will lose to someone like the Wizards at least once this year.

 

[Beantown]

Just wish Spurs and Nuggets would have lost.

I think it's becoming apparent that worst-case - if Utah takes care of business at home and against the bad teams in the league, they'll be a playoff team because there will also be enough games against "good teams" where rest and injuries give them a competitive advantage.

Then there's that chance the Jazz become/are becoming a pretty good team themselves - at which point who knows they could end up hosting a first-round playoff series. We'll have a pretty decent idea of how good the Jazz actually are by the end of February.

I just worry that we might have a "good" problem....

Are we becoming too good too fast? Had we stuck it out in the lotto during the boozer/memo/Duron years, and gotten ourselves just one more player, perhaps we could have taken better advantage of that talent?

All I'm sayin, is that this lotto is LOADED with talent. It would be awesome if we could end up with anther lotto pick or two... I don't know what the rules are, what our status is, etc with our lotto picks. However, I drool every time I see some of those Kentucky high fliers. I'd love to have a dominate 3 or 2 guard on this team.... A younger and better version of Josh Howard would do wonders.... Just imagine if we had Danny Granger!

We don't need Lebron. But a draft pick that ended up being like Danny Granger (very solid. Never a franchise guy. But a very solid guard/forward) would provide us with a dominate lineup that could hopefully compete with the Heat and Thunder for years to come.

Example: The 07 playoffs were fun. However, in 07, Durant was drafted. Think he could have helped us out? Deron, x, Durant, Booz, Memo, Millsap, and Memo? Championship even with boozer missing 2/3s the season due to torn jersies and banging michelle money...
Noah was also drafted. With Noah, we would have finally had a defensive bail out Boozer. Millsap and Memo would have come off the bench....

It's about time that piece of trash had a good game.
