OFFICIAL Postseason race thread *Sticky*

[Ron Mexico]

So many close losses this season and so many injuries. This team could easily be a 4 seed right now if we got a few of those close ones. But we will get Favors back next game or 2. Rudy should get back soon and this team is primed with an easy schedule to make a run. If we can get momentum and play well and healthy post all star break we could actually get a decent seed and not have to play GS or SA which means we could possibly win a playoff series. Although that means this team has to step up and we cant have anymore major injuries.

I agree that we matchup best against the Warriors. I don't think that either of those teams want to play us. We matchup well in theory against the Spurs, but they are tried and tested and would own us. So, I am actually voting for 8th place. If we won 2 games against the Warriors that would be considered a successful playoff run by me. If we got swept by the Spurs, not so much learning. I see a win or two against the Warriors as a possibility. Especially if they have an injury and we get everyone healthy by then.

We are doing fine and will get better at winning close games as we continue to be put into that situation night in and night out.

I'm impressed(?) you can still listen to the jazz announcers.



and the installation of something like an offense.

I'm going to turn listening to them into a drinking game (like last night when Boler asked if Withey rolled his ankle or got poked in the eye. What happened is he took the back of someone's head to his mouth. TAKE A DRINK!). When they get something completely wrong you take a drink. That and their idiocy makes my wife laugh.

Eric Bledsoe is out for the year with a torn meniscus. SAC might be the biggest competition unless Devin Booker plays out of his mind or something

I was so kunfuzed by that Boler sequence last night that I didn't realize how funny it was until you pointed it out. Thnx! Man, I sure miss Hot Rod.

Honestly I see the Jazz as their own competition. If they get their crap together they are in. If not then they lost the playoffs instead of another team beating them out.

The Jazz are firmly in 8th place right now. They'd be in 12th place and 4 games out of the last playoff spot if they were in the East. How weird is that?

Best part is that I love how RealGM is reacting. Worsten Conference and Beastern Conference and crap like that lol. Watching them freak out is funny.

this is really the only reasonable way forward. FWIW, I approve of your methods.

The best news is that we still have 4 games against the Lakers. . .

Two games ahead of Portland and Sacramento. A losing streak with Burks, Gobert and Favors out could tighten things up. I keep waiting for New Orleans to make a move.

They are starting to pull it together now. They are 5-5 over their last 10. Compare that to 5-16 to start the season.
