Jazz 2017/18 Playoff Bus! All Aboard!

Ideally a healthy minnesota gets GS and knocks them out. We get the #6 and beat Porty... we beat Minny... we beat Houston because James Harden hits his exhaustion limits again... we win the championship because Lebron never beats the Jazz... never!

That seems like the likely scenario... I'd be surprised if it didn't happen tbh.

How legendary would Donovan be if this happened?

I'm all in on the 6/7 seeds. 3 is out of reach, 8 sucks because Houston is incredible, and 4/5 is fine but leaves you with a date with the Rockets in Round 2.

7 is probably ideal at this point. I think I'd rather play GSW in the first round, and then the winner of Portland/Six seed in the second round. Sure, they'll have their squad back. But they've been a bit off all year, and I'd rather get them as early as possible in the postseason without Steph. 6 wouldn't be terrible either, take your chances with Portland in round 1 and then give GSW all they can handle in Round 2, but I'd rather the 7.

Can you freaking imagine if this team went to the WCF? In a "pivot" year?

Yep. 4/5 may also very well leave us with OKC in the 1st round which I think is a bad matchup too.

God damn that’s brutal. Denver could lose each and every one of those games. Not a single tank team on their schedule. Very team they play is in the playoffs or a contender to be in.

Clippers only play 2 non playoff teams.
Just brutal finishes for those teams. Plus we are better than them regardless of schedule.
We got this.

Yep. That's exactly why I've been saying that Denver is done for the last few weeks. I don't know why some people are scared of them. They've been fairly easy to predict all year. Their lack of defense, their bad road record and their difficult schedule to close the year is going to prevent them from making the playoffs.

Yeah, but I remember another team that had a bad road record -- worst in the league, actually.

Yeah but we had Rudy Gobert coming back from an injury. One of the most impactful players in the league. There is no Rudy Gobert coming to save Denver.
 
We also had a rookie running the show and Rubio who was struggling in his period of adjustment to the team. It was easy to see the Jazz turning things around once Gobert returned and everyone began to gel. We may not have expected a turn around THIS good, but it was easy to expect one. Most of Denver's key players have played together for years. Millsap returned and it didn't much for them. They aren't going to flip some switch. They are who they are.
