we should hire a mercenary on a 10 day contract to go underneath curry every time he shoots. Those ankles hold a key to the Jazz's future.

I know it wasn't me. I did think they were susceptible to losing if injuries hit after clearing their bench to make cap room for Iguodala. Through early January, they had a road-heavy schedule. I really though the W's would make a move up the standings the last couple of weeks. Despite playing 8 of their last 11 at home, they've gone 5-6. Perhaps some of their players like Klay are getting tired legs. Thompson and Curry both average 38 mins/per, with Lee at 34. Hopefully their slump continues.
 
Same very tank race important games tonight:

LAL @ CLE
DET @ ORL
BOS @ PHI
TOR @ SAC
DAL @ MEM
MIL @ DEN

Highlighted who I want to win and either way in the DAL/MEM, LAL/CLE and BOS/PHI games the Jazz win.

Gotta go with the Lakers tonight... They are riding a 7 game loosing streak. We need them to get some confidence back.
 
Looks like the tank is really shaping up into four categories:

1. Bottom-3: Milwaukee (9), Orlando (13) and Philadelphia (15). Milwaukee too far ahead to be caught. Orlando IS that bad. Philly has a few more wins, but they're also rumored to have Turner on the trading block. Major tank in 2nd half.

2. Tier 2 (#4-#8): Boston, Cleveland, Sacramento, LA Lakers, Utah.
a. Rondo is back for Boston. Does that mean more wins?
b. Varejao is back, but Cleveland is a mess with players on the verge of mutiny. They'll likely make some kind of move at the deadline, but will it improve or hurt them?
c. Sacramento is looking to improve. Gay is back and so is Cousins. Prediction is more wins.
d. Lakers may move Pau for Okafor and picks. Even with Kobe in another month, this team is terrible. Likely to finish worse than Utah.
e. Utah: No doubt RJ and MW are being shopped. But their high salaries make putting together a deal difficult, if not virtually impossible. Bad contracts or other assets would need to be included and I don't see Lindsey willing to do either, not when he can have a ton of cap space to go after FA's simply by letting all those contracts expire.

3. Tier 3 (#9-11). New York, Detroit and New Orleans are 3-4 games ahead of the group with 16 wins. Keep an eye on this group, but doubt any of them will fall into the bottom 8.

4. Tier 4 (#12-14) Denver, Minnesota and Memphis are on the fringe of the playoffs. Hoping Memphis can catch GS.

Prediction: No chance at one of the worst 3 records. Jazz at best could finish #4, at worst #8. Likely is at #6.
 
At this point i would be happy with #6
 
If the Warriors end up in the lottery, I hope like Hell that the pick jumps up into to top 3. That would be so fitting. Warriors fans would be SO pissed for years over that deal to make space for Iguodala. Especially with the unprotected pick coming up in 2017 as well.
