OFFICIAL Postseason race thread *Sticky*

Yep. I'm used to it. I was the first one advocating an AK trade (and got negged a ton). And I've been criticized this season for being overly pessimistic when mentioning the flaws this team has and the reasons I felt they would only contend for a 7-8 seed (or miss the playoffs). Realism now sets in amongst all you Pollyanna's. Please lock your guns in a cabinet. hide the pills and step away from the ledges. It's only ONE season,

When you point out flaws while refusing to see positives it is pessimism. That's reality.

But mostly I was joke giving you a hard time.

And when others point out only positives while refusing to acknowledge weaknesses, what is that? If I were a true pessimist, I would have said the Jazz were on their way to challenging the Lakers instead of having a shot at the 7th or 8th seed. To me, saying they'd likely be a .500 team isn't pessimism; that represents an improvement over last season, especially given the injuries.

No, that would be delusion.

But I digress have fun as I won't carry this further.
 
I've been gone for a month, but I'm back and it seems like Houston is just as lost as Utah is right now. If the Jazz can go 2-1 in these next three road games then they should be back in the drivers seat for the 8 seed. For the record, I still would rather have the 8 seed and play GS then the 7 and play the Spurs. Anyone else feel like the Jazz have a much better chance against the Warriors then the Spurs? Assuming the wheels don't fall off and the Jazz miss the playoffs that is.
 
26% of remaining games are against bottom 5 teams
61% of remaining games are against bottom 15 teams
Last 7 games are against the Spurs plus six other teams with average ranking of 23/30: Lakers (2), Suns, Nuggets, Mavs, TWolves. So if we are within 1-2 games before that time, we’d still have a shot

I don't think they have a chance against either team, but I think they are more likely to win a game against Golden State.

I'm the opposite, I think the are more likely to win a game against the Spurs. But most likely scenario seems like 4 and out against either one.

I'd still take it!
 
recent games were really frustrating. i still believe in jazz tho. let's make the playoffs!

This is about how they were playing before the 7 game winning streak. Do that again, and they're comfortably in position for a winning record and z playoff spot.
