Jazz out of Playoffs - For Now

Heat streak now up to 26.

Mon., March 25th, Lakers lose on the road, Jazz win at home.



Jazz are 1 game behind the Lakers and 1 game out of the playoffs. Jazz have 11 games remaining.

Heat now up to 27. I think they can get 28 (at Bulls and 29 (at New Orleans). Then 30 gets tough: at San Antonio. If they get to 30, I think they get to 33 and 34.

Jazz are just a half game ahead of the suddenly respectable Mavericks.

I luv the Maverick's. Their next 5 games are very tough: Clippers (home), Pacers (home), Bulls (home), @ Lakers, and @ Nuggets. Luckily, 3 of the 5 are at home.



If they can win 3 out of the 5 (and beat the Lakers on a tough road game - they'll have a real shot at the playoffs and bouncing the Lakers out. I hope they pull it off. The Mav's have 12 games left in their season.

Well - the Mavericks are off to a great start in that tough 5 game series. Tues. night, Mar. 26, in OT the Mavs beat the talented Clippers @ home.



Both the Lakers and Jazz were idle. Utah and Dallas are tied and 1 game behind the Lakers for the last playoff spot.



Tonight (Wed.), Jazz @ home vs Suns, Lakers @ Timberwolves, Mavericks are idle.

Wed., Mar. 27th. Lakers win, Jazz win, and the Mavericks are idle.



Jazz remain 1 game behind the Lakers. Maverick's are now 1.5 games behind the Lakers.

Thur, Mar. 28th, Both Lakers and Mavericks lose. The Jazz are idle. The Jazz are .5 game behind the Lakers. The Mavericks are 1.5 behind the Lakers. 10 games left.

Tues., 4/2. Lakers 101, Mavericks 81. Jazz idle. Jazz and Lakers are tied with identical records: 39-36. The Mavericks are 2.5 games behind. 7 games left in the season.

Jazz has the tie breaker on the Lakers.

Yes they do. And - as a result, have the last spot in the playoffs - while the Lakers are out - for now. Hopefully the Jazz can hang tough for the next week.

Wed., Jazz lost to Nuggets. Both the Lakers and Mavericks were idle. The Lakers are back into the 8th and final playoff spot. The Jazz are .5 of a game behind, the Mavericks are 2.5 games behind the Lakers. 6 games left in the reg. season.

Thur., Mavericks lost. Both Lakers and Jazz were idle. The Jazz are out of the playoffs by .5 of a game, the Mavericks are out by 3 games. 1 week remains in the season.

Sun., April 7. Tonight was a great night, the Lakers lost (swept the entire season by the Clippers), the Jazz won, and the Mavericks won.



Jazz are in the last Playoff spot, the Lakers are .5 a game behind, Dallas is 2.5 games behind.



Jazz have 4 games left. The Lakers and Mavericks both have 5 games left.

Mavs need to make up 3 games on the Jazz. Mavs have five games left with a tough schedule. Jazz have a pretty cakewalk schedule.



I'm ruling the Mavs out this year. They made it interesting and are still shooting for .500, but they just failed too badly in the offseason to put it together this year. Cuban needs to open his wallet a bit further before next season.

The Jazz could very well go 1-3 in their final four vs OKC, Memphis, and on the road vs Minn.



The Mavs have three virtual locks vs. Phoenix and NO twice, but will need some luck vs Memphis and Denver. If they went 4-1 and the Jazz went 1-3, who holds the tiebraker?



The Lakers look like they'll go 2-3 or 3-2 in their last five, which could put things into a three-way tie for the last spot.

Jazz has the tie breaker on both teams. 3 way tie I don't know.

Sounds like it would go to the Jazz regardless, then.

Tues, april 9th. Bad night. Lakers win, Jazz lose, Mavericks idle. Lakers are now in the last Playoff spot. Jazz are .5 game behind. Mavericks are 2.5 behind.



Jazz have 3 games left, and 2 are away. Timberwolves 2x, and the Grizzlies. There is a chance.



Lakers have 3 games left - all @ home. But, they are tough games (Warriors, Spurs, and Rockets).



Dallas has 5 games left. 4 are @ home, 1 away. They are a mixed bag: Suns, Nuggets, Hornets 2x, and Grizzlies.

Wed., April 10. Lakers win. Kobe had 47 points - impressive. Mavericks lose. Jazz are idle.



Lakers own the last Playoff spot. The Jazz are 1 game behind. Dallas is 3.5 games behind. Only a few games left.
