ESPN: Who will nab the 8th spot?

Lakers
vs Mem (loss)
at LAC (loss)
vs NO (win)
at POR (win)
vs GSW (loss)
vs SA (loss)
vs HOU (win)

Jazz
vs DEN (loss)
vs NO (win)
at GSW (loss)
vs OKC (loss)
vs MIN (win)
at MIN (win)
at MEM (loss)

Yep - by my calculation, 3 wins each, we should go through.

Utah is capable of winning every game on that list. The toughest ones, in my opinion, will be @ Mem and @ GST. But they are all winnable. Go Jazz!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
"Hall: Fact. It's possible I'm simply intoxicated with the euphoria of the first five-game Utah win streak of the season, but the Jazz are finally playing like a team that could make noise in the playoffs. The memory of the recent 3-12 stretch is all but gone and the team is peaking at the right time with a healthy Mo Williams. "

Proof that these analysts are idiots. If this 5 game win streak makes you think the Jazz can "make noise", ie winning a series, you haven't watched Jazz basketball this year.

This is the EXACT same team we have watched all year. They beat the teams ranked 10 and lower and lose to the teams ranked 7 and higher. We are the stereotypical 8-9 seed.

I think make noise just means make the series competitive. The Jazz have enough talent to do so. Just a question if the Jazz can get all cylinders firing at once.
 
I am a diehard JAzzfanz and I always have been, but making the playoffs may not mean a whole lot and if we don't make the playoofs that could =GR3 (potential stud), Maybe even Burke or MCW if we deal a nice package. The truth is essentially thus, if we make the playoffs there is a 90 percent chance we will be swept and there isn't any way we are winning more than one game against the Spurs... the way they handled us last year, Foye could go 8/9 from three all over again and we would still lose. Jefferson Can't do anything against their defense. he gets pushed like 40 ft off the block every possession and we could not make an entry pass. Why cheer to make the playoffs when if we don't we could be substantially better 3 years down the road with a butt load of talent. If we make the playoffs, we'll get stuck with two Draft picks that are Kris Humphries and Kirk Snyder-esk. I have a feeling that this is going to be a sad offseason. We make the playoffs and Lindsey and KOC will throw Corbin a 10 year extension and Jefferson will get 5 years at 20 mill a year while Mo williams will get like... idk... 4 years at 18 mill a year. The Jazz will be a dumpster Fire and JAzzfanz will prove to be the most negative place in the world but we will all be miserable so we'll come here becasue misery loves company and we'll be stuck compaling till out team gets sold to a seattle based ownership. And then no more JAzz basketball, All because the lakers had to suck which led to us hiring Corbin, making the playoffs, Re-Signing Mo and AL and destroying the Franchise... haha. am I being a little dramatic here. :o

Just saw that MIN are 5-5 from their last 10 and are on a 2 game winning streak.

Rubio seems to be on a mission to finish this season strong. I don't think these guys will lay down and die that easily.
 
why do the jazz want the 8th seed like its some kind of prize.8th seed for the jazz is like begging to bunji jump off a high bridge with the other end of the cord not tied to anything.
 
I hate to be a negative Nancy but with our talent we should be a 3 or 4 seed. 8 th? Thats a fail... We shouldn't even be having topics reguarding if or if not we make the playoffs. We have a talented team. 8 th seed????? Would KOC hire Malone already. We obviously need something! I'm a long time Jazz fan and if your an old school Jazz fan like me, 8 th seed is unacceptable.
