    If the Jazz are unbeatable at home, then what does that make the Blazers?
    Did you know that we have a better home winning percentage than Utah?

    No, of course not . . . the Cavs play in the east.

    Hollinger's Odds say that the Jazz has a 78.4% chance of making it, while the Suns only have a 71.3% chance. Holliger's Odd take the schedule into consideration. It doesn't take Boozer's injury into consideration.

    My analysis/guesstimate: Too close to call right now, but the Suns probably won't make it in.

    BTW, I'm rooting against the Suns to make it in.

    It is possible the Jazz will implode....but I am betting the opposite. The death of Miller is the kind of thing that can serve as a powerful rallying point for a team.

    Utah will be there in the end even though they're a crappy road team. I can't see them missing it while seeing Phoenix start to implode when they realize they can't play the Clippers every game.

    Never in a million years will I bet against Sloan having his team prepared to play.

    Tip of the cap to a HOF coach.

    The Jazz have scared me since the preseason. I think everyone knew they were going to come back with a vengence once healthy. I really think they are probably the 3rd/4th best team in teh West (them or Denver right now).
