OKC will be the champions. So OKC would be better matchup. You know "We've lost to the champs" thing.
I think we can all agree there's not much hope of finishing better than 7th. And the chances of missing the playoffs seem equally slim. Portland is struggling along at .500 and the Lakers might eventually be playing with Kobe and a bunch if D-Leaguer's with all the injuries they've had.
So do the Jazz have a better chance of losing by less than 20 pts. for one of their home games against SA or OKC?
6th seed or die
I don't see the Jazz making it past 5 games against any of the WC playoff teams. Not that it could ever happen, but they'd be lucky to win a game against Houston or GS come playoff time.Assuming the Clippers are the 3. The Jazz aren't going to make it past 5 games against a healthy Clippers team.
At least against the Spurs you have the "well, they're old" argument and such that gives us a chance to not get blown out. To me, there's really not an argument like that when going up against OKC. We'd be facing Kevin ****ing Durant. We'd be a post heavy team going up against the team with the best post defense in the league. It's just a recipe for disaster.
Having said that, I'd predict a sweep against either team. Just like last year.
