OK, to business!

Not to many games impacted the Jazz last night but the ones that did broke the Jazz's way.

Suns, Lakers (haha losers) and Blazers lost. The Thunder won but they will finish ahead of us so whatever.

Go check what that means for the jazz in the OP!!! WOOT WOOT!!!!

Tonight's games:

Wolves @ Hawks
Blazers @ Nuggets (Nuggets are farther behind Utah than the Blazers, we need some separation)
Spurs @ Kings
Pistons @ Warriors (yeah right lol)
Grizzlies @ Clippers (hate the clips but we need more separation form the Grizzlies)
 
I'm watching the Nuggs/Blazers game...very impressed with Mudiay's defense on Lillard late in the game. He just blocked Lillards layup. And just made a big shot to give the nuggets a 4 point lead with 56 seconds left. Maybe if Exum were healthy, he athletic/quick/long enough to give Lillard a hard time.
 
So last night was a mixed bag. Blazers, Kings and Grizzlies all lost but the Wolves, Spurs, Warriors and Clippers all won.

Kings are 1-7 and are now 4 games behind the Jazz. The Grizzlies lost placed them 2 games behind and the Blazers lost placed them 1 game behind. Nuggets are still 1 1/2 games down.

So tonight there are 5 games that affect seeds 4-8 in the playoff race in the west:

Jazz @ Cavs
Thunder @ Wizards (Every Thunder loss might count)
Lakers @ Heat
Hornets @ Wolves (Jazz are tied with the Wolves)
Mavs @ Pelicans (need separation from the Mavs)

Could some of the Jazz's toughest competition be division "rivals"? The entire NW division is still within 1 1/2 games of each other. They hold seeds 4, 5, 7, 8 and 11.
 
I would love to see the Thunder fall from the playoff picture for a second consecutive year. It shouldn't happen with Durant and Westbrook. Kanter's really going to have to reach into his bag of tricks. I hope he does everything in his power to help them give the 2016 lottery a run. I'm confident that he will.

That Kanter defensive influence:

25th in OPP PPG @ 107.9, Jazz are 1st @ 85 ppg
16th in OPP FG% @ 44.1, Jazz are 1st @ 39.4
23rd in OPP 3% @ 35.8, Jazz are 17th @ 33.9
20th in OPP TOs PG @ 13.9, Jazz are 8th @ 16.3
 
Tough loss for the Jazz tonight. They were in this game. The Jazz fought whistle to whistle and refused to roll over and give up. They made the Cavs pull out all the sstops, all their tricks. Very promising game for the future.

Thunder and Pelicans won.

Mavs, Wolves and Lakers (HAHA losers) lost. Jazz didn't lose any ground to the Mavs or Wolves.

Games tomorrow (11/11):

Lakers @ Magic
Pelicans @ Hawks
Clips @ Mavs
Nets @ Rockets
Warriors @ Grizzlies
Bucks @ Nuggets
Pistons @ Kings
Spurs @ Blazers
 
Alright Jazzfanerz!!! GAME DAY!!!

Here is last nights break down:

Lakers, Pelicans, Clippers, Rockets (HAHAHA, to the Nets)Grizzlies and Blazers lost.

Spurs, Nuggets, Kings, Warriors and Mavs won.

Tonight's games:

Jazz @ Heat
Warriors @ Wolves
Clippers @ Suns

Hope that the road teams go 3-3! Clips and Warriors are a level above the Jazz and the Suns and Wolves appear to be bigger contenders for the same seeds the Jazz are going for.

Time for Utah to show that the Cleveland game was not a fluke. Come out hard and punch Miami right in the mouth and never let up. If the Jazz win they will be tied with the Thunder for 1st in the division. If the Wolves also win it'll be a 3 way tie.

Nuggets are in the playoffs as of now and the Blazers fell out with last nights loss. NW still represented by 4 teams! Still early enough in the season that the 2-12 seeds change daily.

OP updated.

Thanks again, Stoked. Keep up the good work!
 
Well, Jazz took another playoff team to the limit on their home court. Only this time they got Boshed instead of Lebroned.

Clippers and Wolves also lost. Warriors and Suns won. Mixed bag. Jazz are now tied with the Suns, Wolves, Rockets, Mavs and Nuggets at 4-4. Still listed as the 5th seed.

TOnights games:

Wolves @ Pacers
Jazz @ Magic
Pelicans @ Raptors
Blazers @ Grizzlies (win win)
Sixers @ Thunder (yeah right lol)
Lakers @ Mavs (Hate the Lakers but a Mavs loss helps the Jazz more. Can they both lose?)
Rockets @ Nuggets (go Nuggets lmfao)
Nets @ Kings (I want the Kings to lose just to see more disaster in Sactown)
