how NOT ready is JFC for this next 10+ games

The Jazz are likely opening the playoffs on the road, so the probabilities favor the Clippers, Nuggets, or Houston as first round opponents.
 
Which team do we want to face in the playoffs out of the realistic options. I rank them as:

OKC
Dallas
Denver
Houston

That's about right. OKC would be a physical series, but I think we'd win in 5 or 6 games. I think we'd beat Dallas in 5 or 6 games as well. I think we'd ultimately beat Denver, but it would go 6 or 7 games.

Houston would be a toss-up because we have a hard time scoring against their switching defense, but they'd need consistent performances offensively from Westbrook and Gordon to beat us.
 
If we can't get the Clippers to fall to the 4th seed, seeding doesn't matter as much. We'll have to play the Clippers or Lakers in the 2nd round. Personally, I think we can challenge the Clippers, but they'd be favored.
 
Jazz will have homecourt in Round 1 and I’d be surprised if they face Houston. The novelty is wearing off and they’ll continue to slide.
