The Next 20 Games

You should also note that every road game is a short flight / easy travel. And, they are win-able.
 
More generally, wouldn't this be the perfect stretch of games to give the reins to the youth?

I think this is the perfect time for corbin to hand the keys to the youth, but knowing corbin, it aint gonna happen
 
12-8. The longest win streak will be five. Jefferson, Millsap, Marv, and Watson will be on the roster past the trade deadline.

And that's huge because Utah has quietly won 5 in a row on the road against teams with a losing record. Those are the ones that drive me nuts - losses at NOH, Phoenix and Sacramento.
 
I have no faith in this team to put together a fairly impressive stretch of wins. Even with the schedule easing up, it just feels they'll follow up a win with a loss ... even though there is ample opportunity to reel off a few wins to improve our standing in the west.

Do you know the longest win streak of the Corbin era has been just six games and that was all the way back in March of 2012?

What I expect from the next 20 games:

A surprising win that maybe gives us some confidence and hope (potentially tomorrow against Miami) and an equally discouraging loss to a bad team that grounds us even more.

So, I say...

Miami: W
Cleveland: W
Washington: W
@ L.A. Lakers: L
Indiana: L
Houston: L
New Orleans: W
Portland: W
@ Portland: L
Sacramento: W
Milwaukee: W
Chicago: L
@ Sacramento: W
OKC: L
@ Minnesota: L
Golden State: L
@ L.A. Clippers: L
Boston: W
Atlanta: W
Charlotte: W

That's 11-9 ... and that would put Utah's record at 31-28. So, still in the playoff hunt, but our prospects are still pretty meh and we're most likely stuck in the 8th or 9th spot. Exciting!
 
Jazz are only 2 games back of where I had predicted them to be at this point...and that was projecting a 50-win season. I put them at 26-20 at the end of January and 35-23 at the end of February. This is exactly where I thought the Jazz could/would make their run. I'll be disappointed with anything less than 14 wins in the next 20 games.
 
Alot of you have to be ****ing kidding yourselves.

1. Moves will be made. Either by the trade deadline or at the end of the season. Relax boners.
2. If you think it's tough watching them now, ohhhhh just you wait. When we hand the riens over to the youngins we're gonna lose, ALOT, for an extended period of time. SEASONS possibly.

The FO is not going to just make a trade cause you want them to. HA! They will wait for value, and if that means waiting til next year to start the real rebuild, then so be it.
