Jazz 2017/18 Playoff Bus! All Aboard!

[David Stern]

Maybe this is bad, but I’m not super concerned with anybody but SA/OKC/PDX losing right now. I don’t think the other teams are gonna catch us.

I guess I should be slightly concerned with the Pelicans catching us. It also looks like there’s a chance the Pelicans/Spurs winner last game of the season plays the Jazz in the PO

Yeah but the Rox and Dubs are coasting now, waiting for the POs. See the near collapse against Porty? Late season games are hard to get a handle on who shows up and who doesn't.

Not totally. Kerr was pissed after their loss to the Pacers so I think they come out vs the Pels ultra focused, trying to get some momentum and into the playoff basketball mindset a little early since they’ve been so erratic. And the Rox are still the Rox and at home.

I'd prefer to play the Pelicans, Spurs, Wolves, Blazers, Thunder in that order. The Thunder worry me the most of the likely teams.

Can't wait to flog the Lakers like a serf on Monday.

Yep I agree. Here’s what I’d love to see:

Houston/San Antonio
Golden State/Minnesota
Portland/Oklahoma City
Utah/New Orleans

Just gotta get home court. New Orleans is by far the preferable opponent, whether we get the 4 or 3 seed

Sort of wish we could get a prime more efficient Rasheed Wallace here. Loved that dude. He'd an almost perfect stretch 4 for us. Only almost because his shooting wasn't good. 35% from 3 a lot of years. Loved his flexibility on offense and defense and attitude though.

Id like to see...
HOU v OKC
GS v MINNY
POT v Den
Jazz v Spurs

Potland v spurs would also be good. I would want to see lamarcus lose to his former team.

Gobert/Favors is easily the closest 4/5 comparison to Wallace & Wallace in the NBA right now. If the Jazz want to emulate the 2004 Pistons, they have the frontcourt to do it. Just have to keep them both around.​

Rasheed shot the 3 at a respectable rate. He's not a good comp with favors imo.

Thunder at Rox. Pels at Dubs. Both teams we need to lose on the road vs superior opponents.

They're not superior at 80%, which is the best it seems like you can get from them now. GSW were blown out and Rockets nearly lost a 15+ pts lead to the Portland reserves. I don't trust either team at all at tihs point.

Bummer about the W's recent struggles, I don't think they take the foot off the gas for the 2nd to last game in SLC. Seems to me like they're going to want to try to get their rhythm back before the playoffs.
