OFFICIAL Postseason race thread *Sticky*

I want the 6th seed.
I think dallas winning helps achieve that goal more than Houston winning.

Don't know why I think that. Don't even know if I'm right to think that lol.

I just feel that Houston will win every game after tonight and dallas won't. And since we play dallas head to head I feel like we have some control over how they finish the season

This is all true. Assuming Houston does end up winning every game after tonight, a Dallas win would help Utah only if Utah goes undefeated the rest of the way. Which is very possible. But if the Jazz drop another game, and the Rockets do win out, Houston losing tonight doesn't help us at all.
 
Houston Dallas game is really entertaining. A great defensive pay by Dirk (of all people) may have just decided it. Dallas up three with 5.4 seconds left.
 
I know the scenarios, this is the best one for Utah.

Like I said before, assuming Utah wins out, absolutely. If Utah drops a game, it doesn't help them at all (unless Houston drops another game, which, looking at their schedule, probably won't happen).
 
IDK why anyone would want Houston to win, just use simple logic.

Houston is probably going to win out, they have all cupcake games from here on. Them losing tonight guarantees we finish above them if we also win out (we should be able to do this).

Mavericks remaining 4 games are all tough. Memphis will be fighting, Clippers are resting starters on road (supposedly) and not at home, we should beat them, and Spurs (though who knows what they will do).
 
Like I said before, assuming Utah wins out, absolutely. If Utah drops a game, it doesn't help them at all (unless Houston drops another game, which, looking at their schedule, probably won't happen).

You want to be able to control your own destiny (especially when the road to do so is relatively easy), that is all you can ask for and Utah got that tonight with a Dallas win.

Also Houston's game at Minnesota is arguably harder than any game we have on our schedule.
