I can't believe the little air time and few comments the Jazz are getting these days as we approach the playoffs! The Jazz are going to be bubble gum and a hard time when the playoffs start but everybody is completely ignoring the fact that the Jazz have been built for the playoffs, not San Antonio, not the Thunder nor any other team for that matter! We kept our team together, added one small but big piece in Korver, and our coaching staff has done a marvelous job at convincing our boys how to play defense and finding the open man by passing the ball around! They said the Jazz had 8 block shots last night.....but I swear it seemed like they had twice that many! If we can stay healthy this time we are going to run whats left of the regular season schedule, have home court advantage in the first round and then go from there!
 
The Spurs have 3 tough games left and the Thunder have 5! We are going to pass both of those teams before the playoffs start!
 
I believe we either win all the remaining games or lose just 1 before the playoffs. At least that's what I believe this team in capable of.

How far we go into the playoffs? It will depend on the seedings. The only chance we have to make the conference finals would be to win all games left and Houston start losing, then we could have a miracle happen and make it 3rd seed.

That way we could go into the second round and play the nuggets, I believe if we play the Warriors or Rockets we're in trouble(hopefully I'm wrong).

We might have a shot playing houston, but I would much rather play the nuggets

I think our best shot at the conference finals is to wind up the 4/5 seed (which I'd expect) and have the Nuggets sneak the #1 seed over GS.

Yea, and I remember you got all excited about Utah being the favorite in 17 of their remaining 18 and the Jazz promptly dropped a couple.

Until they prove otherwise, there's no reason for the national media to get excited about Utah. Jazz are a team that MAYBE can win a 1st round series. But thats a big maybe if Utah doesnt get hoke court. Jazz still arent better than GS, Houston or OKC. Jazz do match up well against Denver and SA. Lillard alaays kills us, but i like the Jazz' chances against Portland.
 
Here's why the Jazz will be tough as nails come playoff time! 1) We've got two big fundamentally sound inside guys that are muscle finesse oriented, can pass, block shots and out think there opponents! They are both hard to cover down low and on defense they make it hard for the opposition to score on us! 2) We have two guards that compliment each other very well.....one who is pass oriented and skilled at feeding the low post while also excellent at finding the wide open 3 point shooter! The other guard is quick as a cat, an excellent open court player who is learning fast when to take the ball to the basket and when to look for the open man both in an open court and half court setting! He can also hit the 3 ball in the corner pocket and plays excellent man to man defense! 3) Our other forward is a chief irritant both on offense and defense, with a style of play that can drive even the most calm and patient opponent up the wall! On defense he loves to deny his man the ball and throw both arms and legs at them to befuddle even the most seasoned pro! On offense, he runs around like a chicken with his head cut off until he gets open, using picks and screens in the most effective way to end up with wide open 3's or an open lane to the basket! 4) Our bench is anything but weak, with a bunch of guys that play fundamentally strong basketball along with tough defense, just like the starters do!

Finally got a little respect today! ESPN dummy said looking at the Jazz remaining schedule it would not surprise him if the Jazz ended up with the 4 seed and home court in the 1st round!

Yesterday on "The Starters" they said that the Jazz and the Heat could be playoff Cinderella teams. They said that the Jazz would match up nicely with any team in the playoffs minus the Warriors and Thunder.

Even though we lost all 4 games to the Thunder this season I still think we match up much better with them than we do the Rockets.

Another slaughter house 5 tonight! However, Quinn's post game locker room comments probably went something like this: "We played a pretty good game tonight "boys" and we shot very well. However, If you guys hadn't been screwing around out there half the time, we would have score 160 points on these guys and held them to 100! Try to remember that in order to advance in these here upcoming playoffs, we have to cherish EVERY possession and not be so careless with the ball and tighten up our shot selection! Unforced turnovers will get us a quick exit from the playoffs and poor shot selection will do just the same! We have a great opportunity to go far in these here playoffs! Now, we play the slop dummy Hawks tomorrow and I would like to see you "boys" try and do what I just said to do, kapesh?"

I would also prefer to play Denver above all other teams.

Yep. Stick with the seven seed, take out Denver in the first round, San Antonio in the second, and we are in the Western conference finals!

Just like that we become much more attractive to FAs who want to play with Rudy and Don and be the key piece to our run of 6 chips, forever changing the image of The UTAH JAZZ around the league.
