OFFICIAL Postseason race thread *Sticky*

He explained. It's actually the other way around. They will lose their pick if they make the playoffs, so if they are on the cusp there is motivation to tank. In this case, especially so, because if they don't give their pick away this year they never have to give it away. Sounds like the GM who agreed to that was sort of asleep at the wheel.

Oh I see.
Isn't that how it was for the jazz during the corbin/jefferson/millsap year that we made the playoffs and got swept so hard by san antone?

iirc we lost our pick that year since we made the playoffs

5th would be a goal if we had a healthy season. I think we'll have to settle for 7th or 8th. I'd prefer the Spurs cuz I'd troll the **** out of their fans for every victory we snag (and I think we could pull off one).

7th or 8th? We're a game back from the 6th seed after tonight, most likely.

Yea, in 2012. Fortunately there was pretty much nobody in that range that has turned out very good. Unlike some of the guys we could have had with that Golden State pick :(
 
Guys. I just realized I will be in the bay area for the first round. But probably for games 3 and 4, which would be in salt lake. If I am there for a game and it's jazz warriors, you bet your *** I will be there in a favors jersey throwing tomatoes at steph curry.

Lol. The trade was voided due to a player not passing the physical. It's happened from time to time. Did they know he wouldn't be able to pass a physical? Who knows.

They can still trade him, it's just more complicated as other teams can stop the trade. I think. Doesn't every trade from here on out go through some sort of wavers?


Jazz have been pretty good as of late at home. They play the Rockets in Utah, so there's that.

Might be wrong on this, but if a player is claimed on waivers, I think the new team is responsible for his remaining salary. If he clears waivers and then signs with a new team, Houston has to pay the difference. Doesn't Lawson have an option for next year? Not sure if he can still be traded this season or only waived.

As for the injury, everyone knew about Motiejunas' back problems, but I guess they are more serious than Houston disclosed.
 
It's cool that Lillard played college ball here but now that he is in Portland I kinda wish his penis would fall off. Does that make me a homer?
 
Last Night's recap:

Mavs lost!!!! That's great. So did the Clippers hahaha. Wolves, Lakers and Kings also lost.

Spurs, Warriors, Thunder, Nuggets and Grizzlies won.

Aside from the Grizzlies win not a bad night at all.

Tonight's games:

Warriors @ Magic (eh)
Thunder @ Pelicans (eh)
Nets @ Suns (Suns need to challenge the Lakers for a pick)
Rockets @ Blazers (win win, hate the rockets though)
Spurs @ Jazz (This is going to be tough)

Spurs are coming off a back to back. They just played in Sactown. Unfortunately no one played over 32 minutes. Jazz have a big test tonight.
 
Jazz now in the 8 spot, and just a game and a half behind the blazers for the 6 spot... even though the blazers have gone 9-1 over their last ten. Hopefully they come back to earth soon so the jazz can catch them!

Think we got to cheer for Blazers in this one. Tie breaker is gone so add an extra game of cushion between them and us, going to be very hard to catch. Gotta keep the Rox down, especially with a tough road trip coming up for us. A win for us tonight would be as amazing as it is unlikely

Go rockets!
