Jazz 2017/18 Playoff Bus! All Aboard!

[LifeOnaPlate]

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..

I bought tickets for this game forever ago when we seemed lotto bound because there's a giveaway that night of cheap headphones. Tickets on sixth row in upper bowl were like 24 bucks. The price has gone up considerably since then.

Makes me nervous because I was also at the infamous Clippers game two years ago.

Against the Jazz, Kings-Mavs-Spurs-Warriors-Celtics combined to shoot 56-106 from 3, 52%
Jazz shot 56-176 from 3 in those 5+Atlanta , 31%

70!! more attempts to make the same number of 3s

I don't know if I can handle the daily ups and downs coming from this playoff race. Yesterday morning I felt like hugging strangers and buying groceries for the guy behind me in line. Today I feel like I could kick an otter or if I was a teacher throw an impossible pop quiz on my students.

Maybe I need to step back from all this Jazz.

My hope is that the Jazz are going through one of their sputtering phases that they've done this year and over the next few games will figure it out and go on another dominant run that coincides conveniently with the playoffs.

Ideally, the 6 seed might be the prime seed really. I'd rather play POR than OKC, GSW, or HOU.

I'm not really in the mood to follow any games after last night's loss. I think I'll take a couple of days off and check out the situation over the weekend.

I'd prefer the 4 and then the 6 in that order. POR/GSW is more attractive than OKC/HOU (without home court in the 1st) imo

Might as well see it through! Spend a few minutes before a game thinking through how you'll handle a loss. (There are more games to come; we aren't eliminated until we're eliminated; we still control our own destiny; it'll feel all the more amazing when we make the playoffs, etc.) Positive mental exercises. It's cheesy but it helps a bit. Also, have something in the hopper you can turn to in case a game goes south. A new album from a band you like. A show you've been waiting to see. Etc. Fan psychology.

The first game of the year, versus the Nuggets, sort of exemplifies the season as a whole. We started off ok, then it was really bad, then we came back in a big way and won. (Only difference is it was Burks off the bench who saved that game.) I was there. I was also there when we beat the Bulls in triple overtime in days of yore. I've seen hard losses, I've seen amazing wins. I'll be wearing the lucky socks, so all will be well.
