Jazz with the massive win last night. You could tell the narrative of the cool, collected, battle hardened Clippers fell apart last night in crunch time. They started taking cheap shots/fouls at Gobert and crying to the refs. They threw their best haymaker at Utah and the Jazz took it and gave it right back and it knocked them on their heels. Now they know they are in a dog fight come playoffs.

GO JAZZ!!!

Also Memphis and the Spurs won. The Spurs are now tied with the Warriors and hold the tie breaker. This means the Spurs are the #1 seed. Jazz at #4 sounds perfect. Clippers in the 1st, Spurs in the 2nd and Warriors in the WCFs.

You left out, "and Cavs in the finals". :)
 
The hobbled Warriors will lose in the first round. Westbrook beats Harden. Jazz play okc in WCF then destroy the Cavs. Somehow Jingles wins finals MVP. Hayward is a good sport about it but Rudy is clearly upset. Rudy shoots greater than .400 from 3 next season.
 
I think the Jazz need to win 10 more games to snag the 4th seed. That means finishing 10-5 the rest of the way, and I think we need to start by going 3-1 on this road trip (Detroit, Indiana, Chicago w/ likely loss in Cleveland on a B2B). If we only go 2-2 on this trip, we have to pick up a game against GSW or SA at the end of the season, hoping one of those teams is resting players at that point.
 
Some potential good news -- If the Spurs can get up a couple games or so up on the Warriors (the Spurs own the tie-breaker), then neither the Spurs nor the Warriors will be motivated to win their games against the Jazz at the tail end of the season. They might be motivated to rest guys and eliminate any risk of injury.

So yeah, root for the Spurs to build a lead on the Warriors over the next few weeks.
 
Also, the Thunder are just 2 games back of the Clippers. They're still in play for the #5 seed. The Clips and Thunder split their season series 2-2, so a tie-breaker based on Conference record (??) will come into play if they end with the same record.

Anyone have a preference between playing the Clippers or OKC ?

With the Jazz up 4 games on the Thunder, it's unlikely they'll catch the Jazz. They do hold the tie-breaker though.

Thunder, Pelicans and Warriors won last night. Blazers lost.

Tonight's games:

Jazz @ Pistons (Pistons lost in Cleveland last night)
Grizzlies @ Bulls
Lakers @ Rockets (Can they all get sucked into another dimension?)
Blazers @ Spurs
Bucks @ Clippers

Tonight could be really good for the Jazz. They could go up 3 games on the Clips and the Thunder would only be 1.5 behind them for 5th.

Jazz have the toughest remaining schedule in the league. They need to stay focused and close these games out. Every game is a must win now. Jazz need HCA in the 1st round.
