Jazz's Remaining Schedule is the Easiest in the League

Its been said but i would prefer some decent tests along the way to keep them sharp. But, since that wont happen much, im suuuure Quin will take the time to go deeper into the bench to get an Oni or Morgan prepped to potentially contribute during the playoffs.

I'm certain.


He absolutely will.


For sure.

A higher chance Morgan gets cut in the upcoming weeks than he does playing in the playoffs.

This is good news because we're pretty much a lock to finish in 1st but at the same time I can't help but wish we had a few more games against really good teams. A lot of games the rest of the way are going to be boring AF.

Our toughest games remaining are @Suns (2), @Dallas, Nuggets, Blazers (2), Spurs (2), @Memphis, and I guess @Warriors.
I don't think we have any games remaining against EC playoff teams. It's all lottery teams from here, with the exception of Indiana who could move up into the POs.
 
Jazz need to stay focused. I think that's the biggest challenge. Well, that and staying healthy, but I don't even want to say that out loud.
 
Won't help much if we keep losing to teams like Warriors, Wizards and Pelicans. Don't think the job is done

I think one way the coaches can help with the players’ focus is to install NEW wrinkles, sets, players, etc.

So... bullpen development and players’ focus go hand-in-hand.

Part of our recent slide was all of the travel (and its especially hard to be on the road this year). But I think it’s also been about running the same ol sex machine.

Lebron is supposed to be out like 3-4 more weeks apparently... AD might be out another couple weeks... There is a real chance they slip to the play in tournament. I will be so pissed when we lock up the #1 seed only to get the ****ing Lakers in the first round.

Lakers will be 6 seed

My alt, your opinion seems a bit shaky.
 
Remaining games where the Jazz will be heavily favored: Rockets (2), T'wolves (2), Thunder, Kings (2), Raptors.
Jazz need to go 7-1 over these 8 games. They can have one brain-fart, anomalous loss.

Remaining games where the Jazz will be favored: Spurs (2), Warriors, Blazers, Lakers.
The Jazz need to go 3-2 in these games.

Remaining games where the Jazz will be favored, but will be tougher: Nuggets, Suns.
Jazz need to go 1-1 in these games.

That would give the Jazz a total of 11 more wins and 53 wins on the season. If the Jazz can finish with at least 53 wins, they should hold on to the #1 seed. Phoenix would have to finish 13-4 in order to match the Jazz and take the #1 seed with the tie-breaker.

The Suns still have the Bucks, Sixers, Nets, Celtics, Knicks (2), Lakers, Clippers and Jazz on their schedule, plus Spurs (3), Warriors, Blazers.
 
So far we are batting what, 0.500 on our "easiest" schedule? Not handling it well.
