Utah Jazz got another win this time against Cavs and they really destroyed them with a great 114-75 result.

Now they have a 6-win streak. Jazz continue to surprise people by their awesome performance and they are still leading their conference. I wonder whether they will manage to keep up this form in playoff games also.

They will manage to maintain it.

Their roster is strong and is just silently winning games. Unlike the other news that we're getting about transfers, they really are strong.

But cannot underestimate the strength of Jazz and they're showing what they can do.

Are they strong enough to beat those heavy favorite from the west?

They are in the top spot right now but knowing LeBron and Kawhai are both playing from this side, both Superstars are good leaders.
But to credit Jazz now, they are really maturing they continue beating teams and they are playing really solid sharing the court with
each other.

76ers and Jazz

We can't deny that these teams are also good and that proves them because they're both top 1 in standings for the west and east.

Utah Jazz is playing differently this season and I hope the same goes for playoffs as well.

Even they are dominating the current standing, these teams now become out of the picture for the Final's contention because of the Nets and Lakers. I don't see 76ers can handle the Nets in the ECF but Jazz might handle the Lakers on WCF and even the Nets in the Finals.

Well, let's not forget about the Clippers and the Nuggets. As these both teams have two great addition. Rondo to Clippers and Aaron Gordon to the Nuggets. Remember how the Nuggets beat them in the playoffs with almost the same line up down 3-1.
The real strength of the Utah Jazz will be tested in the playoffs. Some people compared them to the 2015 Atlanta Hawks who dominated the East but didn't reach the finals.
Can't wait for the playoffs though.

I'm not surprised about that win, its expected that they will dominate the cavaliers as they are -16.5 in that game. Jazz will continue to roll for sure, looks like another winning streak will be created and only fatigue can stop that just like in the previous. They need to continue winning consistently if they want to have a bigger shot against the Clippers and the Lakers in the playoffs, probably 2nd round as they'll be in the number one if they will continue their stellar performance.

I like the positivity, I don't know why others are not talking about Jazz on championship, they are really an underrated team now and I think they might surprise the Lakers and even the Clippers, they have been playing with good teamwork, everyone is contributing and they seemed to be always in the proper rhythm when playing.

Their 2nd unit are strong, that's what I like about this team too and they have Clarkson who are consistent and trusted to contribute for the team.

Definitely Clarkson will win the 6th man of the year, he has the best season in the NBA now and Jazz has improved a lot when he was acquired by the team. I'm expecting them to be more successful this playoffs, even if though they might not advance in the NBA Finals but getting into the WCF is going to be a huge success for this team.

However I have this feeling in my gut telling me that there will be some injury, some mishap, something and these teams will not meet in the finals. That's just something I feel, obviously if we have 100% healthy all players these two teams would be near impossible to beat, so there is a big chance they will make it to finals but who can guarantee that an injury will not happen? I do not think that is possible, which is why I think it's quite possible that we could end up seeing some other team there.

No one knows obviously.

But regardless of what team will meet on the Finals, just hope that every team is in their healthy state once playoffs began.

No need to overthink too much or think about a situation like that lol. We all want to see teams in their 100% state.

Unexpected events could really happen anytime but its just too stressful if you do mind much about that matter.Lets just hope that everyone would be healthy and free from injuries.

This thing cant be avoided though but a season or lets say that finals with having less or near zero injuries is really much more entertaining to watch because of the presence of those
popular star players together with their team and you can really see their best performance in that case.

Overthinking about probabilities just because you do have some hunch or guts do tell you would just be giving out some stress.

You guys know what I am afraid of? I think Lakers or Nets or maybe even both of them could miss the finals, I mean it is NBA and we have seen crazier things right? Sure they look like they are the most possible teams and when Lebron and AD comes back to 100% health Lakers will be too dangerous, and when Nets have all the players finally healthy they will be too.

No doubts, if this two teams got all healthy it's really difficult to beat. Those Superstars combined are far better than the other teams.

More on firepower and with good blend this two franchise is really nice to watch in the finals (my own opinion) both have superb stars who can
compete from each other.

Still far but slowly the Nets is showing greatness in the East while Lakers due to injuries still hanging from the west.

I'm also buying that idea but it's hard to ignore the teams that are also good. Just like these teams below.

This will lighten AD load, Its great move for the lakers, it would have been bad if they have to get Aldridge, he got problems on his back i think, Drummond is comfortable in his position and LeBron will be happy having to towers while he operates outside and make some slash inside, I'm still curious why the nets pursue Aldridge, Jordan is a big man and what they need is a great depender on the wing.

DeAndre Jordan isn't what he use to now and the Brooklyn Nets signing Aldridge is just a sign that they need to satisfy the needs on what Jarett Allen has given to them before they traded him out, Allen was one of the best centers out there but unfortunately he was part of the package to get Harden. They tried starting Jordan after that but it obviously showed that he can't fill the role on what Allen is doing. Also Aldridge like Blake Griffin is a sign of how Brooklyn is desperate to win everything this season like what they did before with the super team they tried to build with Paul Pierce, Deron Williams, and Kevin Garnett which they failed to win the championship now they are doing it again as well.

Lamarcus Aldridge to Brooklyn Nets and Andre Drummond to Los Angeles Lakers. Two big transfers in one day from East and West.
We know this seasons finals already, Nets vs. Lakers it's obvious. I'm against superteams in NBA, it kills competition. Why would I watch regular season and play-offs now? Salary cap used to have a meaning, now whole organisation is a joke.

Don't get too discourage mate, don't worry, none of these two will win the NBA championship, it's going to be the Clippers who will win the NBA championship this season. This is where Leonard will step up when they are underestimated as a team, Rondo will help him.

If healthy I just don't see nets losing 4 games in a 7 game series unless the other team is the Lakers. No offense to the other teams. In a one or 2 game yeah anyone can win but these two teams just have too much fire power(again...if healthy). And I love Kawhi's game, one of my favorite players to watch.

...but still i do much prefer McGee and Howard on that position though but sadly they've change it out.

These 2 centers are nothing when we compared their stats to Andre Drummond last season and also this season.

Drummond is playing dominantly in defense in Cleveland while at the same time, contributing to the offense. McGee and Howard aren't like that and they already past their prime. A good decision for the Lakers to release those 2 centers before the season starts as part of their bench improvement. Drummond will be an important key to the Lakers and I'm now excited to see how he will blend to Anthony Davis.

This will lighten AD load, Its great move for the lakers, it would have been bad if they have to get Aldridge, he got problems on his back i think, Drummond is comfortable in his position and LeBron will be happy having to towers while he operates outside and make some slash inside, I'm still curious why the nets pursue Aldridge, Jordan is a big man and what they need is a great depender on the wing.

Pelicans is still not in the playoff rank https://ph.global.nba.com/standings/

However, if they will work hard, they might bet the top 7 or 8 spot since the competition is very close in the West.

I'm hoping that Zion will stay healthy, I like to see how he can help his team in the playoffs and I think its possible that they can upset a team in the top of the ranking even if they don't have the home court advantage.

We already passed the All-Star weekend which means there are only a few games left which is the real problem for the Pelicans. since getting one win this time seems hardest than ever before because those team that is outside the playoff tree will play the games as we've never seen before because a few games left to get to the playoff tree is worth to work hard. The only way they can get the chance to get to the playoff is to win at least 7 in their next 10 games.

Pelicans seems far from playoffs.

7 Dallas Mavericks 10.5
8 San Antonio Spurs 11
9 Memphis Grizzlies 12
10 Golden State Warriors 12.5
11 Sacramento Kings 13.5
12 New Orleans Pelicans 14

Well, they are only 3.5 behind, but there are 6 teams fighting for those 2 spots. I just dont see Pelicans grabbing one.

Pelicans vs Celtics is an interesting match up. One would expect Celtics to win but the previous 2 meeting have gone to Pelicans. Zion playing a crucial part in both the matches. It is going to be a close affair. who you got? Although Pre match odds favor Celtics but I think Pelicans might take it away.

You got it right, Pelicans snatched this game against the Celtics.

Even Tatum tried to lift this but they've got short in time, Pelicans again relied with Zion and Ingram both players provide good
numbers to carrythe team in winning this game. They improve also their stats if they'll keep winning, the rally chances of
moving to the next round is still possible for them.

Good, I think they are peaking at the right now, only few games left in the pre playoff, if they continue to be consistent in the last remaining games they will be in the good position as it is getting tougher now. They have to show that they have what it takes to be a playoff team and Zion and Ingram should lead the team. Specially Zion, as he might be the centerpiece of this franchise in the future.
