    I think 54 or 55 is possible. The Jazz should win 51 or 52. We stay at the 3 seed.

    That ll never happen.

    Its embarassing. Im ashamed. This is ridiculous. Im mortified. We are all poor unfortunate souls.

    When will the rest of the NBA and the media stop victimizing us?

    :p

    I believe my prediction before the season was 55+, so I am sticking to it.

    We're not winning 60 games ever. Did you not read the thread stating so?

    Left Out: April 7 Detroit Pistons
    @OTMax

    Rockets and Jazz both have 17 games left.

    If the Rockets go 10-7 (Hoping for 12-5) The Jazz would have to go 13-4 to tie the Rockets and get the 3rd seed (they own the tiebreaker)

    Looking at they're schedule I see them winning 10, maybe 11. So the Rockets would get the 3rd seed by 2 to 3 games. It would take a big choke job by Houston or a very impressive string of wins from Utah for them to take the Rockets for the 3rd seed.

    Notable opponents left for Utah: @OKC, LAC, @LAC, @CLE, @sas, SAS, @GSW

    That's 7 games against tough teams and 5 of them on the road.

    Here's to hoping the Rockets keeping the 3 seed and avoiding the Warriors in the second round. (Should they get that far...)

    Apr 10 @ Los Angeles Clippers - L
    Apr 12 Minnesota Timberwolves - L

    7-1 over our next 8. That should put us up 7 or so on Utah (they play vs LAC, @ CLE, @ CHI, @ IND and @LAC) with only 7 games left. Also, Utah's closing schedule is really tough...vs WAS, @sas, vs POR, @POR, @GSW, vsSAS.

    After that away Portland game, we should take it easy...sit the starters on the 2nd night of back to backs (@GSW and @LAC) to avoid injuries. Denver will want it more than us on April 5th, and we throw out the D League guys against Minnesota.

    At this point, we're pretty locked into the 3 seed with a first round playoff matchup vs the Thunder or Grizzles...pulling for the Grizzles.
