OFFICIAL Postseason race thread *Sticky*

I think our only hope is the Mavs completely falling apart with their schedule.

What does 'we were capable of the fifth seed' mean in this context?

Well, were in a position to actually get the 5th seed when Stifle and I started talking about this. I feel we had the talent to do so. It's not that the Jazz were not good enough to get the 5th seed, it's that we failed to play up to their talent.
 
Why is this thread stickied?

I say the tank thread should be stickied. We aren't making the playoffs. And even if we did, who the hell wants to watch the massacre against the Warriors/Spurs?

And that's where we differ. Jazz have the worst PG trio in the league. They only have 3 guys capable of scoring: Hayward, Hood and Favors. Jazz also have one of the worst benches in the league, The winning streak came against weak teams and during a home heavy schedule (5H, 2A). Several of those wins were by just a few points. That's why I was so harsh in my assesment: castles in the sand, if you will. I saw the tide rolling in (i.e. a harder schedule with more road games). And Jazz up to that point had been abysmal away from home.

Due to injury

Burks and Burke

When healthy Burks and burke were in the top of bench ppg. I agree that people like Ingles need to be 3rd stringers and Johnson probably not on the team.

And several of our losses come against great teams by a few points on the road, often when injured.

You were harsh. Overly harsh IMO. This team has lost a ton of games due to injury and that ruined our average bench depth.

I do hope that DL gets his butt into gear this off season and improves the bench. Back up SF, SG and PG would be positions I'd look at. And look long and heavy at trading 1-2 current players for something more beneficial to the team. Like a SG or PG that can hit the three.

But mainly I am only tweaking your nose a little. Enjoy the season. I am.
