2016-17 Hype Train Playoff Chase!!!

Steve Kerr saying he's going to "manage minutes" during the rest of their games. They're still probably going to try to blow us out in the first quarter.
 
Massive OKC win tonight. the rest of their schedule is fairly easy - Denver is going to be withdrawn if they are eliminated. We need 2 wins / 2 thunder losses. If we **** up against the Wolves, 6th seed is still very very very much in play. Even if we beat them, we still might back into 6

OKC can win out and keep pressure on the Clips. It makes things interesting. Somehow, I don't entirely trust them to do it though.

The Clips/Houston game is going to be key. How Houston plays might impact who their opponent is in round 1.
 
Think the Jazz will be 6th. They lost both tiebreakers so I think it is what it is. Bring on Houston.

I think the Jazz will get to 50 or 51 games. OKC can only get to 49 wins if they win out. I don't think we can realistically slip to the 6th seed.

The question is whether we can stay a game ahead of the Clips.
 
FWIW, Espn says the Jazz have a 75.5% chance to claim the 4th seed, while the clips are currently at 23.9%.

Although the Clippers sit one-half game behind the Jazz, their chances of capturing the No. 4 seed -- and home-court advantage in the first round -- are still not even close to the Jazz's chances, according to BPI.

How important would home-court advantage be to the Jazz? As the No. 4 seed, Utah would hold a 54 percent edge in a series with the Clips, according to BPI. But if the Jazz fall to the No. 5 seed, they would indeed be underdogs, with only a 45 percent chance to advance to the second round for a potential matchup with the Warriors.

Lakers hopefully made a franchise altering error as they now sit at #3. If a team can move up in the lottery, they can drop out of the top three and their pick goes to PHI.

One can only hope.

I don't see GSW giving up a chance to see how they matchup against a possible second round opponent. Especially if they are getting Durrant back into the flow.

Double edged sword. By playing their starters, they are also teaching the Jazz how they match up with the Warriors. I don't see a net benefit to Warriors to playing their starters more than nominal minutes.

Right? HAHAHA They have won two in a row. What idiots, those two wins caused the Suns to pass them in the lottery standings.

Also the Mavs failed us and lost to the Clips, the Thunder beat the Grizzlies, Rockets beat the Nuggets which really damaged their race for 8th and the Spurs lost while the Warriors won.

Tonight's games:

Not much of interest except the T-wolves play in Portland. The T-Wolves play the Jazz tomorrow and are coming off a back to back.
 
Just hear don Locke's Podcast that if 1 team jumps the Lakers and they drop to 4th in the draft they lose their draft pick. HAHAHAHA!! YES!! Come on BB Gods! You owe us!
