OKC and Jazz are hot, they'll probably play well enough to stay at 4 and 5. Spurs are better team of the remaining teams so they'll get 6th. Minnesota is more banged up than Pels. So Minnesota 8th. That's how I see it. Last year, they said 8 seed would come down to last night but it didn't. We'll see.
Third could give you that too
Am I missing something? You know my sarcasm meter is nonexistent.
I think that Pelicans Game is a loss. Davis is a Monster and we have Nobody who can guard him, and they play really well as a Team. I also think we Go 8:3 for the rest of the RS and finish at 3
You're ignoring the fact that we're on the road vs NOP, on a B2B @MEM (still should win anyway), on the 3rd/4th games of a road trip @SAS/@DEN, the 7th road game in 2 weeks, plus playing at elevation after running the Texas triangle, and that Utah will probably have more on the line in the final game than we will.
I’m sure Sir Jinx-A lot had the Jazz losing that game huh?
You don’t believe back to backs and 4 games in 5 nights don’t take a toll? All that travel?
You think we are a “great or very good team?”
No, apparently the consistently observed tendency of role players to play more effectively at home, and the universally understood impact of travel weariness are not legitimate factors to be considered when projecting or evaluating games, but are nothing more than excuses voiced by the weak-minded.
In their last 25 games, Utah has lost 4 times. Once against POR and HOU. And twice against ATL.
Hawks beat us too. Destroyed us actually.
3 months ago. In Atlanta. Without Lillard. We then beat them by even more in Portland less than a week later once at full strength.
Still bad loss. We were up big and then they came back and thumped us.
And I remember you saying we were going to CRUSH them. Easy win, they were a garbage team.
Yep. Minny has an easy schedule, & Nuggets, Thunder, Jazz & Pels all have a tough one.
Minny has a ridiculously easy schedule.
Well, I would assume that MEM has the toughest. Followed by PHX, DAL, SAC, LAL, LAC, DEN...or some variation of that group - the suckier you are, the tougher your schedule?
