In deed, the jazz will not tank.. They will naturally lose as they are a bad away team and have some difficult away games coming up. I'm hoping they get 8 and we get 2. This is a fairytale, but i'd like to see the Jazz upset the Lakers and become talk of the town (like GSW was against Mavs a few seasons back). Then we meet the Jizzholes in the WCF and beat them. I am all for avoiding the Jazz at all costs in the first round, but after that, I would LOVE to prove a point against them. Especially when they are riding so high making the WCF as a 8th seed.
I used to say I would gain confidence in the rockets if they would get the 3rd or 2nd seed, but I think if portland were to stay at 5th seed, rockets would have the favorable match up in that series, and therefore would not have a first round exit.
I hope a triple tiebreak between Spurs, Nuggets and us. Woulds be Nuggets/Rockets 2nd/3d, and Spurs at the 4th spot. Like this we avoid them in semis. Would be great.
