The league won't care I'd we finish 5-2 though.
We will still be a lottery team

This.


The league knows some teams 'mail it in' the last 6-7 games of the season if they have 1) made the playoffs with home court, or 2) tanking late to get good lotto picks.
 
Jazz need to finish 2-4 to drop. In order to get to # 10 they need to be lower than 4 of the 5 teams with similar records from the East. Brooklyn and Boston are 1 game ahead (in the win dept), Miami is even and both Indiana and Charlotte are 1 game behind.

Miami and Brooklyn have the easiest schedules with 5 home games for Brooklyn and 4 for Miami so they are most likely to get into the playoffs imo. Miami has 4 games against teams with losing record, Brooklyn only has 1.

Boston has only 5 games left with 3 on the road, and only 1 against non-playoff team.

Indiana has 3 home and 3 road with 3 against teams with losing records.

Charlotte has 4 road games and 2 home, with 2 against a team with losing record. They are least likely to make playoffs imo.

Jazz have a tough final 4 games, but the last few games are such a toss up for all teams, as you don't know who will pack it in as the seeds are sometimes set at that point.
 
It was a very important loss to Phoenix. Suns could very well lose the rest of their games (all against teams >.500 and 4 of 5 on the road).
I see the Jazz going no better than 3-3.
Miami at Indiana tonight.

I think best case for Utah is 11th worst.

With 2-4 finish, they could end up 10th. With a 3-3 finish, they probably end in a 3 way tie for 10-12.
 
Well, a loss tonight would have put us in a 3-way tie for the 10th - 12th pick. The Kings are so lousy though that we can't buy a loss from them on the second night of a back-to-back with Burke out and Hayward looking half asleep.

I don't think playing guys like Cotton, Cooley, Chris Johnson and so on represents what the Jazz are or who we'll be either way.
 
Boston: Currently 35-42; Remaining: @Detroit, @Cleveland, Cleveland, Toronto, @Milwaukee --- Projection: 37 wins

Brooklyn: Currently 35-41; Remaining: Portland, Atlanta, Washington, @Milwaukee, Chicago, Orlando --- Projection: 37 wins

Indiana: Currently 34-43; Remaining: @Knicks, @Detroit, OKC, Washington, @Memphis --- Projection: 36 or 37 wins

Miami: Currently 34-43; Remaining: Charlotte, Chicago, Toronto, Orlando, Philadelphia --- Projection: 37 or 38 wins


Utah: Currently 35-42; Remaining: Sacramento, Memphis, @Portland, Dallas, @Houston --- Projections: 36 or 37 wins


Utah should at least be able to tie for the 10th / 11th spot.

We'd be looking at Oubre, Turner, maybe Looney and maybe Johnson if we're lucky.

Posted this in the Draft thread --

Jazz offer Hood + 10 to Sacramento for 6 or 7 in the draft. Jazz get Hezonja or Winslow. Sacto gets Hood + Turner.
