OFFICIAL Postseason race thread *Sticky*

I'm still feeling sad that the Jazz couldn't seal the deal last night. Stephen Curry is a monster. I will laugh hysterically if the Sixers beat the Lakers. I think I'm going to tune into Magic-Wolves. The Jazz have Orlando coming to town Thursday and owe them payback, but both those teams seem like fringe postseason caliber teams that the Jazz need to show they can beat consistently.

Me too. I want to be happy that we were so close but that only makes the loss hurt me more for some reason

Sucks so bad we didn't get the win. Felt like a playoff game

It is also a sign that the Jazz have taken a major step forward. We are no longer a bottom feeder lottery team. Jazz are a playoff team that still has clear internal growth and money to spend. No more excuses DL. You must deliver this offseason.

Back up C, PF and SF. That SF needs to be a shooter.
Take a long hard look at PG.

SG starter and back up are fine. I love the Hood/Burks combo there.

Ingles stays on the team but becomes an end of bencher. Johnson and Millsap say goodbye. Probably Booker and Withey as well.

These close losses always make me weep over the "what-if Exum didn't get hurt" factor. I thought I came to terms with his injury during the preseason, but clearly I have not. It really sucks we don't have him this year to see what the Jazz would be made of.
 
the disappearance of New Orleans and Houston has given the jazz a pretty firm toehold on a playoff spot. I think the odds are that Houston re-emerges at some point, but, yeah, I'm weirdly confident of the playoffs and the jazz are sitting at .500.... didn't think I'd be writing that so early in the season.

Not to mention the schedule. Jazz have played 10 road games v. 6 home games. Jazz have played 11 games against teams .500 or better and 5 games against teams under .500.

Being at .500 is damn good.
 
Jazz didn't play last night but Other Western teams didn't. Unfortunately the two teams the Jazz really needed to lose, Grizzlies and Mavs, won. But the Lakers, Pelicans, Suns, Wolves and Blazers lost. Jazz are right behind the Clips, Grizz and Mavs...

Tonight's breakdown:

Warriors @ Hornets (at this point why not?)
Lakers @ Wizards (It's awesome that Bryant's farewell tour is a disaster)
Suns @ Pistons
Nuggets @ Bulls
Pelicans @ Rockets
Bucks @ Spurs
Pacers @ Clips

OP updated.

The race is going to be sooooo close. I'm already starting to get heartburn. GSW, SAS and OKC are only 3 teams I think are locks to finish ahead of Utah in the West. I think the rest of the team the Jazz can finish with a better record than if they get on a roll in this homestand and not look back.
