What's new

Jazz 2017/18 Playoff Bus! All Aboard!

Dante Exum says hello. Time for Quin to let him play, for better or worse. We need to hone in on dudes who have talent Ricky is what he is

I want to see Exum get more minutes, but Rubio is pretty important to this team IMO. In games like this where our passing is really sketchy because the defense seems to be getting in our heads, I'd actually like to see Rubio running the offense more than trying to play the team passing game.
 
That was our fifth loss in 28 games. We're 23-5 since the first Atlanta loss. Rudy has missed 30 games or whatever this season, too. Yes, we need another scoring punch. Yes, we are not top tier yet. But we have two stars, a good coach, and are making a heck of a run as the season winds down. Seven games left. Can we get five? Six? Let's go.

Right, but now is the time we should really be hitting our stride. Instead, we are in a shooting slump that has lasted for several games now. A couple of our recent wins have been just as concerning as our losses because our shooting was so bad.

On the bright side, Utah has gone on some hot shooting streaks after bad stretches this year that have made us pretty much unbeatable. If that happens in the playoffs, we can beat anyone. However, if we continue to shoot like we have been, we could also get swept by just about anyone. Hopefully we wake up, because even if we had won tonight, the way the team is playing is definitely concerning.

So we should just not go to the playoffs...

<eye roll>

grow up
 
the fact that we are going to finish above 500 in a season that looked completely lost to me itself is very damn astonishing.

But we should be hitting our stride right now. The fact that we've lost a few games out of the last two dozen means **** the playoffs. really. Just ask 12 year old freakazoid.
 
Jazz gotta work out the clumsiness of the past week or so and get dialed back in for one of their crazy streaks. Could end up working out fantastic for us if they catch fire right as we hit the playoffs.
 
Feel disappointed that it feels more than likely now that the 7-8 seed is the destiny...
However, that Clippers game coming up could become like a play-in for the playoffs.. HUGE..

Well it will feel that much more satisfying when we get matched up with Houston and eliminate them once again.
