The Jazz have lost in the first round 13 times in the past 35 years. They made the playoffs in 27 of those years.

So if they make the playoffs they have a 48% chance of not winning a series.

Also, why didn't @MHSL82 tell me that the Jazz aren't good statistical leaders in the playoffs? Stockton is only 5th in all-time steals.


He is only 68th on most steals in a single post season:


He doesn't have records for assists either.

Malone doesn't have records for points, whether single postseason or total postseason.

I finally found a Jazz record for FT%. Thurl Bailey went 100% in 1987. But only played one round. Some of the other people that went 100% played multiple rounds.

Gordon Hayward is the leader in all-time playoffs FT%, at .9550. That's kind of cool.

Are the Jazz good at anything in the playoffs? @MHSL82 said that playoffs statistics can be exaggerated. Sure, maybe for a playoffs year, or even spanning a few years.

But for spanning an entire franchise history, or individual players' histories, I wish the Jazz would have had some sort of playoffs record.

20 straight years of making the playoffs at one point, and no individual or team records, whether for a specific year, or cumulatively?

Let’s hope we win tonight since the Spurs can’t defend the buzzer (almost) three. Well, not almost. 2.2 se when it went in.

The Boston and Phoenix losses by the Spurs suck.

I'm rooting for the Spurs to have a full playoffs series, because I want to appreciate any chance I get for Popovich to have a full playoffs series. Since I don't know when he'll retire.

What is Mitchell's time table for his return?

Who did the drawing?

His hair looks like Mardi Gras colors.

I don’t ever root for tanking and I think the Jazz could beat Golden State (or lose), but I am pulling for Memphis tomorrow. Having said that, I hope Memphis isn’t Minnesota part two. The Jazz lost three games to Minnesota.

My reference to tanking is because of this: I am rooting for a certain matchup, but I wouldn’t root for the Jazz to tank in order to get there.

How about between Washington and Indiana? Since the Jazz lost two to Washington. And beat two against Indiana.

@MHSL82? Did you have a preference between these two? Since the Jazz were seemingly better against Indiana, than Washington.

Neither because neither will make the Finals and the Jazz might not either. I know very little about any team this year or last few. I guess, maybe I’d want Bogdanovich to beat his old team?

Thanks. :)

So it goes that you root for the team that the Jazz play better against, unless that team won't make the Finals. If that team won't make the Finals, then root for Bogdanovic to beat his old team.

I'd say more than 50% of the time, since 2002, the winner of a multiple overtime game, loses the next game, if it's the same series.


I'm not counting the series enders.

Let's see if my theory, based on all of these games I've seen over the years, is right.

Ok, someone already collected the games.

It looks like the team that won is 5/13 in winning their next game, if it's not a series ender.

Don't need a major shakeup.

Just keep laying the same way, but finish the job. Stop blowing in-game and series leads.

Besides what happened in game 5 and 6, blowout losses in both games 3 and 4 is pretty bad.
