With the Jazz playing 14 of next 19 at home, what is an acceptable record to get them back into the playoff hunt?
VOTE: 12-7 Jazz are like the Nicolas Cage of the NBA. Likeable but not sure what you're gonna get. Too inconsistent and lack of Mo will hurt
VOTE: 15-4 When looking at the match-ups, the only home loss should be against the Thunder. I am penciling in road losses at Lakers, Blazers and Clippers.
VOTE: 13-6 The only home game I do not believe they will win is Oklahoma City. They've shown how dominate they are at home and I see them going 12-1. On the road, they'll beat Minnesota and that's it. They should beat Sacramento but they always struggle there.
VOTE: 12-7 I think that, considering their record thus far this season, this is generous. It will also put them 7 games over .500. Better than they have been all year.
VOTE: 13-6 13-6 is the bare minimum for the Jazz if they want to make a splash in the playoffs. They are 5 games out of 4th and 3 out of sixth. That would put the Jazz at 34-25 with 57.6 winning percentage, and that is still on the edge of the playoffs right now.
VOTE: 15-4 The Jazz have proven they can beat anyone at home, and that's what they have to do. This team will win some road games, but you can't count on it.
VOTE: 13-6 They'd be beating bad teams like Sacramento and Atlanta, but they'd also have to be winning some games against playoff teams like OKC, Boston and the Clippers.
VOTE: 11-8 I see 11-8 happening, but they need to go 13-5, that might get them in the playoff mix, but the Jazz are a .500 team, they will go 11-8
VOTE: 13-6 Realistically, the Jazz should be able to win at least 13 of those 19 games. Many of the teams are beatable. They certainly have the talent, but consistency is key.
VOTE: 15-4 Jazz go big at home, I see struggles on road vs Lakers, Blazers, Clipps and at home against the Thunder.
VOTE: 15-4 The morale of the team and the fan base depends on this stretch of games. Jazz will not make the playoffs if they don't win at least 14.
VOTE: 14-5 Jazz find ways to lose to the teams they should beat, and win against the teams they should lose to. Was win against Heat enough to spark a run and get back into playoff contention?
