Jazz will not finish higher than 7th IMO. They play ALL 6 of their remaining road games against playoff teams, and if there's one thing we know about the Jazz, they absolutely suck on the road. That leaves 5 games at home against a mixed bag of opponents. It's gonna be a fight for them to get to 50 wins. I say all this to point out that the number 3 or 4 seed for the Rockets feels just about right
This would be a CONSOLATION if we lose, not a REASON to lose. You never aim to lose, or karma will bite you hard.
It doesn't matter which team the Rox will meet in the playoff as long as they stick to their team games. Rox team games are exciting to watch and I am anticipating that in the playoff.
