2016-17 Hype Train Playoff Chase!!!

Unless that player is Gobert, JimLes. I don't see the Jazz as better than .500 if Withey and Diaw are rotating at the 5. Or with Favs and Trey Brick Lyles as the 4/5 combo.

Rudy is our superstar. Jazz would struggle without him.

Holy moly! Withey! I completely forgot that dude was on the team...damn.
 
Looks like we would be second in the East, same story every year, the West is so much stronger. Sometimes I think the NBA should just do the 16 best teams for playoffs regardless of conference

If the Jazz can get consistency from Favors and Hood, their line-up starts to resemble the 2004 Detroit Pistons--Chauncey Billups, Rip Hamilton, Tayshaun Prince, Rasheed Wallace, Ben Wallace.

The problem is that that Pistons team would probably get waxed in a series against the Warriors.

While I understand the comparison there is a difference between this current team and that team. The 2004 Pistons leading scorer was Rip Hamilton at 17.6 and Billups was second at 16.9. Hayward is at 22.1 and Hill at 18.4. We have better scorers but they had a better defense according to statistics.

I remember Locke saying a while back the reason that won't go ahead is timing, i.e., in a LA vs NY matchup, LA fans can't watch an early game in NY, and NY fans won't watch a late game playing in LA.

Another strong reason is simply history, culture, you know basically the fact that fans and media and all are attached to the format, it has meaning just because it is.
 
This season has been painful, exasperating, thrilling, and dominating all in one, and we are barely over half way.

I just wonder what's next...
 
Tonight's games:

Spurs @ Nets
Clippers @ Hawks
Rockets @ Bucks
Thunder @ Jazz

If the Jazz win and the Clippers lose Jazz are in sole possession of 4th. If the Rockets and Spurs also lose the Jazz will only be 3 games out of 3rd and 5 games out of 2nd. They'd also have a 3.5 game lead on Memphis and a 4 game lead on OKC.

Race for 8th:

Kings @ Pistons
Cavs @ Pelicans
