Jazz Playoff Chances

Suddenly, we are only 2 1/2 games out of 4th place in the West, 4 games out of 3rd place. If we keep playing like this, I like our chances in a 4 vs. 5 match up against any of the teams in those positions ahead of us. A 2nd round match up against the Lakers would be ridiculously good, even though I think we lose it in 6 or 7 games. Amazing how just a few games can turn a season around.
 
I hope they don't sleep on Sacramento today. Favors seems to bring out the best in Cousins, though I'm hoping that Favors has enough confidence to give it back to him for once.

We have Kanter too. It is immeasurably underestimated around here how strong an advantage it is to have 3 guys that can win at the 5 spot. Plus the other big is awesome.
 
Two other teams I would keep an eye on would be Portland and LAC. Portland won't affect the playoff race, but they're only a game ahead of GSW and they are playing truly awful of late (FYI we play them 3 more times this year - so we could do ourselves a big favor there). As far as LAC, there sitting at #5, but are only two games ahead of us. They're not playing well, and the easy part of their schedule was at the beginning of the season. Would not be suprised at all if they fall out of the playoffs.

Yeah, if any team was actually tanking in the whole league, I would say Portland is doing it the hardest. Dear lord do they suck, and I think they all hate each other.
 
It would be huge to take it to Portland each time we play them. If we can knock them below GS we are sitting pretty.
