Yes, there have been several seasons when 45 wins (or more) has not been good enough to make the playoffs.
Just since 2000:
2000-01 Houston 45-37
2007-08 Golden State 48-34 (all WC playoff teams won at least 50)
2008-09 Phoenix 46-36
2009-10 (No misses at 45+, but all WC playoff teams won at least 50)
2013-14 Phoenix 48-34
2014-15 OKC 45-37

The West is brutal, just a blood bath. No way Lebron leaves the East.

Let's GOOOOOOOOO

So if Gobert was healthy all year this team is sitting in the 3rd seed.

Do we really need another "all-star"? Rubio is in his prime, and fits with Quin and us.

We haven't even included Dante in the mix.

We have the best 3 point shooter in the NBA.

Mitchell's growth.

Gobert all-star center.

Solid bench/supporting players. Thabo, Crowder, Udoh, Royce, Jonas (pretty damn good)

I think we just need to always be looking to upgrade Burks, and maybe we have to replace Favors.

538 giving the Jazz 92% to make the playoffs, 3% to make the finals, and 1% to win it all.

For a championship we do. Houston and GSW are a whole new level.

Position odds based on remaining schedule.

The West is brutal, just a blood bath. No way Lebron leaves the East.

But when Hayward comes back, does he have a shot at making the all-star team in the East?

I'd like to see him go to Philly. I don't want Boston to ever come put of the East. If that means an Embiid, Simmons, LBJ super-team, so be it.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see a couple of other guys pull a “Hayward” and decide to jump from the West to the East because it offers a path of least resistance to All Star recognition and playoff opportunities.

Right now, even with Gobert missing time, the Jazz would be looking at home court for the first round in the playoffs if they were in the East.

Doubt it. Why would you move just for that when there is a reasonable expectation that the Allstar selection criteria will change within the next 2-3yrs.

ie. No conferences, just select the best players
