They are only 9-17 on the road and unfortunately for them, 15 of their last 25 games are on the road. Jazz and Suns will battle for spot in the lotto.
 
Uhh ... you're theory does not compute. Jazz are getting it going, are finally getting some key people back and will probably be in serious running for the division title all the way to the wire.

Phoenix on the other hand ...
 
I think the Cavs have yet to win a meaningful road game, does that mean they will be in the lottery? Boozer is back, and the team is clicking. 9-17 on the road is bad, but doesn't mean the Jazz are just gonna shit kick the season and drop in the standings.

Jazz are getting it going at HOME. But like I said, 15 of their last 25 games are on the road. Even healthy, they sucked on the road last season.

They've been clicking at HOME. Healthy Jazz team sucked on road last year.
 
He's right, Jazz are awful on the road, Boozer or not.

I personally don't think Boozer is that much of an upgrade over what Millsap has been giving them.
 
I actually agree, without that homecookin' they're an average team.

I think Kirilenko is more important to that team than Boozer.

I don't. His offense has been below average for a couple years and Brewer is actually a better defender. Sure he might make a couple cool blocks or throw a nice dunk down, but he hasn't been that great for a couple years.
 
Including tonight, 9 of Jazz's last 12 have been at home. That's why they've been "clicking." Jazz might miss playoffs with heavy road schedule on the way.

6 of Jazz's last 9 games are on the road. Those 6 opponents: Blazers, Nuggets, New Orleans, Dallas, San Antonio, and the Lakers.

They very may well miss the playoffs. At best, though, there is no way that they even challenge for the division title.

Are you kidding? His perimeter defense has been great and has been a great spark off the bench for them. He's an exceptional role player for them and it was no wonder why they started struggling more once he got hurt.

What I was trying to say was that Millsap gives them pretty similar production and more hustle than Boozer while AK gives a scoring punch and great defense off the bench.
 
Jazz are the best team in the west. They are closest to the Celtics. I think Jazz make it to the WCF and sweep the Lakers, only to lose to the Celtics in 4.
 
Even if the Jazz lose every single away game, they will still end up with around 50 wins because they are almost unbeatable at home. I don't think they will loose all of those games. Not one of the top 9 teams in the west will fold. Any team that wants into the playoffs in the west will have to fight for it.

Not true. The Jazz have only 10 more home games. If they don't win a single road game (which is highly unlikely), their final record would be 44-38.

Learn the game, then post.

If the Jazz are unbeatable at home, then what does that make the Blazers?
Did you know that we have a better home winning percentage than Utah?

No, of course not . . . the Cavs play in the east.
 
Hollinger's Odds say that the Jazz has a 78.4% chance of making it, while the Suns only have a 71.3% chance. Holliger's Odd take the schedule into consideration. It doesn't take Boozer's injury into consideration.

My analysis/guesstimate: Too close to call right now, but the Suns probably won't make it in.

BTW, I'm rooting against the Suns to make it in.
 
It is possible the Jazz will implode....but I am betting the opposite. The death of Miller is the kind of thing that can serve as a powerful rallying point for a team.
 
Utah will be there in the end even though they're a crappy road team. I can't see them missing it while seeing Phoenix start to implode when they realize they can't play the Clippers every game.
 
Never in a million years will I bet against Sloan having his team prepared to play.

Tip of the cap to a HOF coach.

I fixed it for you so you don't sound like a total dick.

The Jazz have scared me since the preseason. I think everyone knew they were going to come back with a vengence once healthy. I really think they are probably the 3rd/4th best team in teh West (them or Denver right now).
