A healthy team would have won your bet.
Even with a normal amount of injuries I would win my bet imo.

Let's say exum, burks, favors, and Gobert all miss around 15 games. I still think we win about 45 games or so

Interesting breakdown.
I think we win 40 games and make the playoffs and win one game in the playoffs

Dallas has a tough schedule. I am liking our chances.
 
This Alec Burks **** is getting ridiculous. I fear this dude is always going to be injury prone with how slowly he heals.
 
I'm still calling 42 wins - think they get two wins in the playoffs and some momentum heading into the offseason.

getting into the playoffs would be awesome, one win would be easily beyond realistic expectations, two wins is crazy talk i think given the likely opponent.

We're 2.0 games out of the playoffs...and just 2.5 from the 6 seed. We can beat OKC twice.
 
Last night's recap:

Good day. Picked up a much needed W. jazz are two games behind Dallas and Houston.

Lakers, Kings and Clips all lost.

Tonight's games:

Big night!
Mavs @ Hornets
Nuggets @ Heat
Grizzlies @ Rockets
Blazers @ Thunder
Wolves @ Suns
Cavs @ Jazz
Pelicans @ Warriors

We need a Jazz win with a Blazers, Mavs and Rockets loss. That would put the Jazz 1 behind Mavs and Rockets and 2 1/2 behind the Blazers.
 
We need an epic game thread for the game against Cleveland. A win against the Cavs gives this young team a 3 game win streak into the middle of the postseason run. I still like this team and their potential if they can start putting together wins like they did last year.
 
Burks should be back really soon, right?
