The Jazz are making the playoffs either way, the only relevant question is how they perform once they're there and how deep they'll go. The outcome of this game really doesn't matter that much, except maybe for seeding, and we might even prefer a lower seed for a better first round matchup.
We seem to match up well with the clippers, at least before their trade. Who are you thinking?
I'd rather meet Denver (if we're 7th) or any of OKC, Mavs and even Rockets if we somehow manage a 4th vs 5th series with any of those. The Lakers or Clippers will send us home, be it in the first round or the second. I don't think we match up with the Clippers all that well, they've been cruising through the regular season and do a lot of load management. If we meet them when they're fully engaged and not injured, we're going home.
