OFFICIAL Postseason race thread *Sticky*

I just want to point out that, despite his injury and clearly being "off" in some games, Rudy Gobert is nearly averaging a double/double this year. 11 rebounds and 9.5 points per game. He's managed to score a double double in nearly 1/3 of the games he's played in (17/49) and he's scored in double digits in nearly half as well (24/49).

Despite the fact that we can still clearly see a number of flaws in his game this year, Gobert has improved on the offensive end and is contributing more than many would have expected. I'd like to see him skip international play this year and just focus on training and improving his offense. I'd especially like to see the Jazz arrange to have him work with Olajuwon this offseason. If Rudy can become a consistent threat on both ends, he'll be a star.

All Rudy needs offensively is one move he can do .. it shouldn't be that hard for him to develop a post up, one or two dribble and hook shot.

And to be healthy and have his legs under him. Unfortunately i think he'll be heavily involved in the Olympic campaign

I agree, which is why I hope that he looks at this past offseason - Dante's injury and his fatigue - and realizes that the difference between playing vs. not playing could cost him millions of dollars. Stay home. Work his *** off at P3 and then also with Olajuwon and Malone again. Focus on adding that offensive move and work on his shot out to the elbow. If he can reliably shoot from there, it will improve a lot of options for him AND help him at the line, which is an underrated source of offensive production.
 
Jazz won! Jazz won! Jazz won!

Pelicans, Kings and Mavs also won.

Blazers and Clippers lost.

This tightens the race for 6th-9th considerably. Jazz are 1/2 game out of 8th and 7th and 1 1/2 out of 6th.

Tonight's games: I am now only listing games by the Jazz, Grizzlies, Blazers, Rockets and Mavs. These are the teams that matter.

Grizzlies @ Suns
 
Over the last 10:

Grizzlies 4-6
Blazers 3-7
Rockets 6-4
Mavs 3-7
Jazz 6-4

Rockets also might be losing Howard and their HC over the stickum scandal. Lol, what a trash organization, top to bottom. Ain't I been sayin it! /cousin eddie
 
Howard might get suspended 1 game at the most, it will probably just be a fine.

The bigger thing is that Harden sprained his ankle and might miss their game Tuesday vs the Thunder.

We should offer Harden our advanced treatment services, he'd miss the rest of the season.

I hear Lindsey still has good connections to Houston's FO. Maybe we could scratch their back this time, so that they can scratch our's later. I hear deals are done like this. Repped for the good idea.
 
David Locke gave an interesting update on teh Burks situation, I will paraphrase.

- Burks leg is fine. There isn't anything structurally wrong with it and the surgery was fine.

- Jazz want to make sure Burks entire body is healthy so no other injuries happen. *My take: Jazz are nervous about a repeat of Exum where he got injured then weeks later suffered a major injury*

- Locke would be surprised if Burks misses the rest of the season. Said he has been working hard and looks good.
