Jazz 2017/18 Playoff Bus! All Aboard!

[Coach Ellis]

Jazz just need to keep winning and hold off Denver and LA. Hopefully they drop a few more so it widens the gap.

The three that they’ve lost recently have been tightly contested games that came down to the wire.

 

[Et tu Brute]

Looking through the schedules, I think our best bet is to pass New Orleans and Spurs. But that Spurs win tonight was bad. It's hard to not see OKC getting to at least 47 more likely 48. Minnesota has the softest run and Pelicans are a decent chance to dropping to the 8th seed.

I guess a 1st Round match-up with the Warriors without Curry and perhaps a rusty Klay is a decent outcome.

We're still only a game and a half out of 4th. Our margin for error is thin, but that's still a really attainable goal.

Lol. Ok

rest of our schedule

vs MEM W
@ MIN W
vs LAL W
vs LAC W
@ LAL W
vs GSW W
@ POR L

@MIN should be the easiest win with the way they're playing defense and how tired they look on the court.
vs LAC and @LAL could be tricky and the Jazz may want to drop last game @POR to achieve a more favorable playoff matchup.

If we had avoided those two inexcusable losses to Atlanta and Boston, we'd be 4th in the West right now with Homecourt advantage. Talk about wasted opportunity...

No chance that Minny will be the "easiest win" out of our remaining games. Comical. I agree with the rest of your predictions but I will not be at all surprised by a loss @ Minny.

With Butler out MIN is playing as bad as lottery teams. Jazz play better on the road and they'll bring their A-game vs MIN contrary to how they play vs usual lottery teams/scrubs, hence will grab the easiest win.

Most of Minnesota's problems are related to lack of effort, but against us there is a rivalry brewing so they give us their best. That game will be very difficult.

We have plenty of nights where we play like a lottery team. I will be shocked if it is an easy win. They know whats at stake just like we do and they have some great players not named Butler.

And a tough schedule. Losing Butler has definitely hurt them but looking at their recent results, their schedule over the last month has been very difficult.
