Jazz 2017/18 Playoff Bus! All Aboard!

It's almost comical. OKC, Minnesota, New Orleans were all down in the second half of their games -- they all won. The Nuggets were down 13 and now trail by only 1 point. With the exception of the Spurs, every Western Conference team from 3-10 is on a hot streak. With the way things are shaking out, I think the 6 seed is the most likely. It looks like OKC or Minnesota are going to end up with the 4-5 seeds since any tiebreaker with those teams, including a three-way tie puts the Jazz below them.

If Butler comes back, I'm not sure if I'd want to play Minnesota and it's nauseating to think of the number of calls Carmelo, Westbrook and George are going to get in the playoffs. While 4 seed would be nice, I think the Jazz might matchup better with Portland.

Agreed.
I’m not afraid of Portland. I’m hoping we get them
 
I mean, other than the teams in direct competition for a playoff spot with us, there are maybe 5-6 other teams in the league actually trying to win games at this point. Hard to expect any help.
 
Lakers wanted to trade Randle at the deadline, but now he's turning into one hell of a player. I wonder what they'll do.
 
Agreed.

I mean I think we could beat any team. But Dame would score 40 a game, he always torches us. And Portland looks great right now. They’d be my least favorite first round matchup after Houston and GS.
