What's new

2016-17 Hype Train Playoff Chase!!!

Who gets the pick if it's outside top three.

Philadelphia gets that pick.

Phoenix GM traded it for Brandon Knight, and Michael Carter-Williams was traded to the Bucks.

Might end up being the best trade that Sam Hinkie ever made. . . although fleecing the Kings is right up there as well. If Collangelo doesn't screw it up (and they can stay healthy), they might be a powerhouse down the road.
 
I actually wouldn't mind if the Jazz hired Sam Hinkie for some role in the front office. Guy has balls and a sharp mind. . . and a willingness to stick his neck out there. He knows how to work a deal, and he has a history working with DL (they came up through Houston at the same time.) I wouldn't want him calling the shots because I think he's a little overzealous sometimes. . . but I sure wouldn't mind having his voice in the room.
 
(48-31) Clips games: @SAS, HOU, SAC

(48-30) Jazz games: MIN, @POR (back to back), @GSW, SAS.


Clippers own the tie-breaker. From what I can gather, if the Clippers win out, we also need to win out.

If the Clippers drop one, we also can drop 1.

Problem is that SAS and HOU both have their seeding figured out-- they might see HOU in the 2nd round, and likely won't see the Clippers. Kangz they already lost to, and at this point they have to be tanking (unless the players are going for the spoiler, another big factor).

Jazz are playing a Portland team fighting for their lives, along with two other teams resting for seeding-- however, GSW will be getting Durant back, and you know that they want to see how they match up with the Jazz @ full strength in case Utah makes it past the Clippers. Minnesota at home shouldn't be too bad. Hard to say with SAS-- I'm thinking that might be an easier game given that Pop will want rest.

Haven't you been paying attention? The magic number is 4. Any combination of Jazz wins and Clippers loses needs to equal 4 for the Jazz to maintain HCA.

nah I've been busy :/ Today's my day off so I was just googling to figure it all out.

I got a vested interest in keeping homecourt cuz my playoff tickets won't need to be resold (probably) if we maintain it!

I just wanna know when my damn game is already

I think jazz go 3-1 and clippers go 2-1
Jazz keep HC.
Unless the jazz have hill, favors, and hood out in all these games. Then I think we lose HC.

this is what smithtix says for the ticket I got

but this seems impossible, frankly.

I dunno. If we get home court, I'll get a game 5 ticket. If we don't, I'll get a game 4. I should be fine.
 
Spurs have officially started the resting game. This could be big for their fine game against Utah.

In their game against the Mavs tonight the Spurs are resting Aldridge, Gasol, and Kawhi. This is on top of Ginobili, Green and Murray being out for injury.
