they are back in the playoffs. they would basically be in a virtual tie with denver and golden state. technically, they are in the playoffs, because they have the same amount of losses as golden state, but have played one less game. i can live with that. how crazy is the western conference, by the way? the jazz are currently sitting in the ninth spot, but are only five games out of the top spot in the conference. the race is not over, guys! everyone should just take a deep breath....

I wasn't all that worried. They just needed to play more consistently, and with Memo back and healthy, its looking like the sky is the limit right now. Hopefully they can pull it off big tomorrow night.

it certainly isn't the end of the world either if we lose

i just wouldn't expect us to win so you won't be dissapointed

just remember we still have a favorable schedule the rest of the month

dude, i always expect the jazz to win. i am never dissapointed when they lose (on the road, that is). i am merely frustrated because i know that if they would just improve a couple of the little things in the road games they play, they would have a much better overall record. i am only dissapointed when we lose at home. when the jazz play at home, i know when they are going to win and when they are going to lose (you can basically tell by the opponent). on the road, however, i never know what to expect. i always have confidence that if we play the full 48 minutes in games, that we will have a chance to win at the end. when the jazz are at home, however, i feel like they can have a little bad streak during a game and still win. this is because the fans restore their confidence when they are down. this does not happen on the road. a team that wins on the road usually is extremely focused at and confident in what they are doing because they know that what they are doing will get them to where they need to be at the end to give themselves a chance. sometimes i feel that the jazz lose confidence in their abilities on the road and by time they regain them, they are so far behind that it does not matter. if they could merely find a way to remain confident in what they are doing, they might just fix their road woes.

Don't we have a game thread for this?
