My son said "Slo Mo Joe can dunk??????"
He's not that old, how the hell did he go from overdrive to neutral in a few years? Think he could be a much better player with strength, conditioning, PS work, etc.
Feels so good
I'm rooting for you but damn it'll be close. Should be able to beat the Lakers (x2), Wolves, Suns, Mavs, and the Nuggets. If they lose any of these games you might be screwed.

You are correct. They should win all of those games.
I'm a little bit worried that maybe the jazz are like allot of fans here and would rather play the warriors than the spurs and if it comes down to the last game and the jazz know that they get in the playoffs as an 8th seed with a loss or the 7th seed with a win then I'm scared that they may just rest guys and take the 8th seed.
I sure hope they don't do that.
Ouch!
Honestly, before the season I wouldn't have thought an over on 43.5 was too crazy.
Too bad you guys didn't get in at 40.5. That was a friendly line.

My site sucks. I honestly think they knew I was gonna do it because I had the previous couple years and so they jacked it up. That said, the odds were EVEN.

Ya I just looked at the schedule and I feel a little better about things.
The jazz are playing pretty good basketball of late and are relatively healthy and seem to have figured out their rotation and guys like lyles and neto are playing at their best.
The jazz have 6 home games left. 3 of those games are against really good teams, but..... maybe the spurs rest guys knowing they cant catch the warriors and the thunder cant catch them. And the clippers are an older team and maybe they rest guys knowing that they cant catch the thunder and memphis cant catch them. If we could win both of those games (spurs and clips) then that would help so much.
Lakers in salt lake = win
warriors in slc = loss
timberwolves in slc = win
at phoenix = win
spurs in slc resting errybody = win
clippers in slc resting a few older banged up dudes = win (we might beat them even if they play everyone and try to win the game)
at denver = win
mavericks in slc = win
at the lakers = win
i need 6-3 finish. Looking like a decent chance

That exact scenario is one of many reasons I don't ever bet on my own teams.

The rockets have a very similar schedule to the jazz.
3 or 4 tough games and 5 or so easy games.
They should be on a big win streak to close the year. [MENTION=1992]Indian[/MENTION]a
@cleveland
chicago at home
okc at home
@dallas
phoenix at home
lakers at home
@minnesota
kings at home
I think they go 5-4. That puts them at 41-41
Portland now.
Home for kings
home for celtics
home for miami
at the warriors
at the kings
home for okc
home for minny
home for nuggets
5-3 for them. That puts them at 43-39
Now the grizzlies
home for spurs
home for nuggets
home for toronto
at orlando
home for bulls
at dallas
home for warriors
at the clippers
at the warriors
i could see them going 0-9 but figure they will win one.
that puts them at 42-40 for the year.
Now dallas
@ the kings
@ denver
home for the knicks
@ detroit
@ minny
home for houston
home for memphis
@ clippers
@ utah
home for spurs
I see them finishing 5-5. ending the season at 40-42.
I think the jazz get to 42-40.
What a tight race. Should be allot of fun. By my predictions it going like this: Portland gets the 5th seed. Jazz and memphis tie and i dont know who would get the tiebreaker so jazz get 6th or 7th seed. Houston gets eight seed and dallas is out of the playoffs.

This puts into perspective the amaizing coaching job Jerry Sloan did the year they didn't have John or Karl
The Jazz would get the tiebreaker over Memphis. And would win a 3-way tie between themselves, Memphis, and Houston.

6th seed would be sweet.The Jazz would get the tiebreaker over Memphis. And would win a 3-way tie between themselves, Memphis, and Houston.
I think we win two games against okc.
It's awesome that there is a chance for that 5th seed. I think we would actually have a chance of beating the clips in a 7 game series.
Gotta hope portland and memphis lose a bunch.
Scary thing about Portland is they could really **** us over in a tiebreaker, because we went 1-3 against them.
If we tied with MEM/HOU, we'd get the 6th seed. If Portland dropped into that tiebreaker, Portland would still finish 5th, but Houston would get 6th and we'd drop to 7th.

And that's why you need to win those games so that you don't get screwed by tiebreakers. Defense looks good enough to win 6 more games and get us to 42. That should be the minimum goal. I feel like the Jazz can potentially win out or close to it - depending on how the Warriors and Spurs approach those late-season games.
Would die laughing if the dubs chase that record and have a player get hurt enough to miss the playoffs and mess up their effort to repeat. Ive seen that happen in football several times.

The entertainment value as a result of this bet has been high and could get even higher. That's part of the fun. If the bet was made on a team you don't care about I don't think it would be nearly as entertaining.
Of course, all that said, I didn't make the bet either.
