Jazz were 18-28 tenth seed in the West.
Now Jazz are 35-30, tenth seed in the West.
Tonight might just be the night they get out of the ten seed.

Eh, yeah, that was a bug. Rooting for the Cavs, but I don't think they'll win, to be honest.
Yeah, the Clippers rooting was a brain malfunction. Gotta read over before posting... I like Lillard better than them Warriors, so at this point, I'm ready to root for him. We won't catch Portland.
Absolutely, but I don't think they will. It's not an easy game for LAC at all, but I think they'll win. I think we'll finish ahead after 82 games, though.

2 weeks ago I was just hoping for playoffs and 6 spot as best. Now I think 6 spot is attainable, and think they have a shot at the 4 or 5. This is one of the best finishes to a season I have ever seen, and one of the best turn around I have seen.

Even at home the Pelicans suck without AD right?
So these are the teams I think will make into the playoffs after looking at the remaining schedules, team statistics, and so on
Houston Rockets (51-13)- Obviously
Golden State Warriors (51-14)- Obviously
Portland Trailblazers (39-26)- It would take an epic collapse for them to fall completely out of the playoffs with the cushion they have in the standings right now. I don't see it happening. They could drop in the seeding though.
New Orleans Pelicans (38-26)- I don't think that this team is anywhere near as good as their current winning streak, record, or seed suggests. However, just like the Blazers it would take an epic collapse for them to fall out of the playoffs. I think they're in but will drop in the seeding.
San Antonio Spurs (37-28)- I hate the Spurs. I really really do. But until they actually miss the playoffs I'm not buying the idea of their demise. Even without Kawhi they are still a quality team. Especially on the defensive end. I expect them to find a way in.
Oklahoma City Thunder (38-29)- They are top 10 in both offensive and defensive rating and they have a good point differential. I don't see Westbrook allowing them to miss the playoffs.
Utah Jazz (35-30)- We're gonna get in y'all. We're simply too good of a team with a healthy Rudy Gobert to miss the playoffs.
That leaves 1 playoff spot. I think that the Timberwolves will get it but they are in danger without Jimmy Butler. They are a team that relies on outscoring opposing teams because they are bad on defense. Without Butler's offense they struggle to outscore opponents. They are going to have to pull it together quickly to hold on. I think they probably will by the skin of their teeth. Which means that the Clippers and Nuggets will end up missing out. I have no idea what the seeds will look like.
