2008 Northwest Champs!!

To clinch the division and a playoff spot.

In case some of you are not familiar with the concept it doesn't grow and it becomes less with every Jazz win and Nugget loss.

This was shocking to me but it could be true. Utah Jazz are currently 6th on the conference.

PLAYOFF PICTURE DRAWN BY M.C. ESCHER
Golden State Warriors The postseason picture in the Western Conference is getting extremely tight. San Antonio's loss at New Orleans and accompanying wins by Houston, Utah, Dallas and Golden State left just 4 1/2 games separating the top seed and the eighth seed - which raises this interesting potential scenario. Let's assume all eight teams remain in their current spots, with the Jazz winning the Northwest Division with a 52-30 mark, the Hornets placing second in the Southwest at 55-27 and the Warriors finishing third in the Pacific with a 53-29 record. Let's also assume that for the second straight year, Golden State engineers another upset of the top seed - not that far-fetched, given last year's stunner - and Utah also wins its opening-round series. That would mean that the Warriors, despite being seeded eighth, would have home-court advantage in the conference semifinals, which previously had been impossible since the 16-team playoff format began in 1984. Just something to think about.

I hope that we keep pace then, and that Denver doesn't go too hot. We have a tough stretch still left.

For that proposed scenario to come about, the Jazz would have to finish 9-7 over the next 16 games which includes 10 home games (TOR, LAL, SEA, CHA, LAC, WAS, MIN, SAS, DEN, HOU) and 6 road games (BOS, NJN, MIN, NOH, DAL, SAS).

I'd hope the Jazz finish stronger than that.
