Jazz 2017/18 Playoff Bus! All Aboard!

Oy - here's the relevance of the upcoming Minnesota v. Denver game

Basically, if we beat GS tomorrow, the game doesn't affect us. But if we lose --

If we lose out and Denver beats Minneosta, we'll be the 6 no matter what. But if we lose out, we're either 6 or 7 depending on the winner of Spurs Pelicans. If Pelicans win, we're 6, but if Spurs win we're 7.

The perfect storm that has us playing Warriors is us losing to GS and Portland, Minnesota beating Denver, SA beating NO.

Could happen. Otherwise, we're either playing Portland or OKC. Don't think there's a scenario where we play Sa or NO unless OKC loses to Memphis somehow.

If we drop even a game, OKC is basically assured of #4.

Yep unless they lose to Memphis it’s win out or no home court.

Pretty much. Beat Portland and we're 3rd. If we beat GSW and lose to POR, and OKC beats Memphis, the best we can do is 5th. It'd be OKC 4, UTA 5, then the winner of SAS and NOP 6th.

In case you don't want to follow the stream of consciousness above --here are the possible playoff scenarios

(Assuming that OKC beats Memphis for all of the scenarios below)

If we win out, we play OKC as the 3 vs. the 6
If we go 1-1 (doesn't matter which one), we play OKC as the 5 vs. the 4
If we go 0-2 we play the Blazers as the 6 vs the 3 IF (i) Denver beats Minnesota or (ii) Minnesota beats Denver AND Pelicans beat Spurs
Alternatively, if we go 0-2 we play the Warriors as the 7 vs the 2 if (i) Minnesota beats Denver and (ii) Spurs beat the Pelicans.

Does that make sense?

this is insane.

wtf has to happen for the jazz to not play okc and eithger the spurs or NO?

Here's what I come up with (assumption is a NO win tonight):

If we win out and OKC wins against MEM, we play them as 3/6.
If we drop one, we play OKC as the five seed.

What's killer there is the NO/SAS matchup, in that scenario, means that the winner is the 4 seed, the loser the 8 seed. Crazy wicked.

Just root for DEN and we're basically assured of the six seed. Incredibly, if OKC were to lose for MEM with the above scenario, we'd actually drop to 7.

 

[enchilada_style]

For god sake don't fall to 7

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

If we drop even a game, OKC is basically assured of #4.

I think we could lose to Golden State, beat Portland and still end up with the 3rd seed. There'd be 4 teams tied at 48 wins, and the Jazz would have the best conference record. Jazz would be 3rd, Blazers 4th and Thunder either 5th or 6th.

That would be good for us. If the Pels beat the Spurs, we'd get the Pels in our 3/6 matchup

 

[Avery]

There's even a scenario where we get the three seed even with a loss.

We lose to GS.
MIN beats DEN.
NO beats SA.
MEM beats OKC.
We beat POR.

Does that make sense?

Yes, but again we could lose to the Warriors, beat Portland and pull 4 teams into a tie at 48 wins. We'd get the 3rd seed and play either the Thunder or Pels depending on whether the Pels beat the Spurs.

 

[yamers]

the question is: will OKC rest durrant and thompson vs the jazz? that's the question.
