Jazz 2017/18 Playoff Bus! All Aboard!

I do think having Crowder vs. Hood/Johnson helps us a lot defensively against OKC. Now we have Crowder / Ingles / O'Neale to guard PG and Melo, which isn't bad.

Who starts at 4 for OKC these days? Grant?

Really hope we win tonight.

Carmelo has been their 4 this season. PG13 is the SF and Corey Brewer has been starting at SG. Losing Roberson hurt them a lot.

I dont think they have much of an advantage over us. They have been a good defensive team this year but our defense is better. They have some guys who can heat up and win you games in PG13 and Westbrook but both of those guys can also shoot you out of a game.

LOL wtf? According to the NBA, the third seed is completely decided by @ Portland, even if we lose tonight. GO ahead and throw out everything from last night
 
Yea. NBA sent out the official scenarios that crapped over the tiebreakers that everyone has been obsessing about for 24 hours, and Utah @ Blazers decides the three seed no matter what.
 
So maybe it'd be smart to just punt tonight & rest & go all-in for the 3 seed tomorrow. If they lose both games, they're in 7th & playing the Warriors automatically right? Without Curry that feels like a lateral move from OKC. My fear is they win tonight, lose tomorrow & still end up 5th against OKC.

Even if we're in the position to do we are not going to tank the Portland game to ensure a first round matchup against Portland vs. homecourt against OKC. Any possible benefit from a Portland matchup is outweighed by the benefits (on court and off) of getting home court, winning the division, and not being branded as "ducking" OKC

What about if ensuring a non homecourt advantage vs okc or a non homecourt advantage against portland is in play.
