Again, Denver has a tough schedule and is unlikely to end up the #1 seed. The best scenario might be for Portland to finish 3rd, Utah to finish 6th and Denver to finish 2nd. That would give us a first-round matchup with Portland and a second-round matchup with Denver.

I think Houston is too good and Portland too injured for Portland to get 3 over Houston. So I don't want 6.
I would rather have 7 than 6 but I prefer we get to 4.

I'm cool with playing the Warriors in the second round. Hopefully we'd give them a series... and then the narrative in the offseason can be that the Jazz are one piece away and have a real shot with KD leaving.

Ya honestly winning a round equals success.

Jazz Clinch a playoff spot on Jerry's 77th birthday. That is 3 playoffs in the past 3 years and 3 out of 5 years for Quin. By my count the Jazz has made it to the playoffs 11 out of the past 16 seasons. And they haven't lost in the first round since Kobe and Pau Gasol whupped them in 2009.

Love this team.

There was definitely a Spurs series in there somewhere. Favors was really young and played well, we made the playoffs last day of the season by beating the Suns.

If memory serves.

That was the 2011-12 season, it was a shortened season due to the lockout. We snuck in as an 8 seed with a record of 36 and 30 and got swept by the Spurs.
 
Ya so I'm rooting for rockets (don't think we can get #3) to keep winning so they get #3, rooting for Denver to win and GS to lose so Denver gets #1 and GS #2, and rooting for trailblazers, Spurs, clippers, and okc to lose. I'm hoping the jazz end up as 4th, and we get blazers, Spurs, or clippers at #5.
So I guess I would be ok with Spurs and clippers winning but I don't want them to pass us so I would rather just get the blazers in round 1 and nuggets in round 2.

Golden St is going to be the 1 seed y'all. If we can't get to 3 then I hope we are 6 or 7. Being 4 or 5 is not the move with a 1 seed GS.
 
Of course Houston waits until April to be playing their best basketball. Jazz need to avoid the 6th seed at all costs. I'd much rather they finish 7th and play Denver in the first round than Houston.

The elephant in the room for Denver is Jokic's conditioning - he looks slow and worn down at times. He was getting abused by Capela last night. They might be in line for a first round upset.

I've always thought Doc Rivers was a bit overrated as a coach but not anymore - he's lost 3 all-stars and Tobias Harris in the last two years and he's still somehow putting a playoff team on the floor.

I hope the Rockets flip with Portland, but....

The Rockets have road games against the Clippers and OKC, and it's likely they will lose at least one of those.

Portland has two games left against Denver, which they will likely lose given the Jokic-Kanter matchup at center. The rest of their games are against lottery teams and I think the backcourt of Lillard and McCollum are good enough to win all of those, even with Kanter playing center.

So, by my reckoning, Portland and Houston will end the season tied, which means Portland will be seeded 3rd and Houston 4th, because of the Blazers winning the series matchup. Bad news for the Jazz if we hold on to 5th.

6 against Houston would be horrible.
I would rather win round 1 and lose to GS in round 2 than lose round 1
