The Utah Jazz are no longer a playoff seeded team and on the outside looking in.

The west is too deep this year for this team to make the playoffs. I know it's early and some may say a knee jerk reaction to the two losses but it's the truth.

We actually went from 1.5 out if 1st overall to 4th in the NW with two losses.

My goals for the rest of the season :
Develop young talent (Burks/Favors/Hayward/Kanter)
Get something in value for Harris and Jefferson via trade
End the season at .500 like I predicted - don't give up and throw in the towel as losing breeds losing
Millsap - keep the guy happy somehow/someway

And just like that the Jazz, who are in desperate need of a decent wing, may get one in a very deep draft. Actually, what would be funny is if the Jazz were to get the #7 pick, and by doing so, drop GS to #8. Won't happen, because I still think Utah is a .500 team and that should put their pick between 12 and 14.

That would be awesome though .. meaning if we were to miss the playoffs anyway.
 
The Jazz are a bad team who had a favorable schedule. The good news is losing helps us get better in the long run.
 
Jazz losing but playing hard is the best thing that can happen this season.

I live in San Francisco and watch way more Warriors games than Jazz games, and while the Warriors are an OK team, Mark Jackson is making them a worse team by taking away the run and gun. I understand he is trying to change the culture, but he is ruining this team as far as playing away from their strengths. Which is horrible for the Jazz.

Also if the Jazz make the playoffs doesn't their pick go to Minny?

THE SKY IS FALLING--wait, we're still seeded :D :D :D :D?

(Btw, the Fakers are the eighters, and the Mavs are part of the Haves at 6th. There's some small satisfaction in that.)

I agree that there are fringe benefits to playing hard and still losing. Lately, they jazz haven't been quite proficient enough in either IMHO ... It would be nice to make the playoffs; it would also be nice to have a lottery pick.

It would also be nice to know that players will play hard & smart--and that the coach will coach hard & smart.

I'm not convinced the Corbin did so tonight. It took him until the end of the 3rd quarter to realize that AJ, while scoring big, was sucking otherwise, and that Kanter deserved more than the 12ish minutes that he ended up with.

There's not one combination that clearly stands out to me, because Corbin didn't test them in the first half like an effective coach would. But I still think that Tinsley is being underplayed, and it seems to me that he would've been worth trying on the 6'2" Beaubois or the 6'3" Terry, especially when Raja, Harris, and Watson were iffy in the backcourt. And then there's Kanter ...

The Jazz have played less games than the Lakers and Houston. One win by both teams and the Jazz are a lottery team.

But right now they are not, and they have a good chance at beating the Sacramento Jimmers. Sure, it's early, and it doesn't matter much, but people are crying doomsday anyway.
