Last night was a really big win for the Jazz; probably one of their top-three wins of the year.
The next six games are huge for determining their seeding in the playoffs:
* Cleveland (heavy favorite)
* Portland (toss-up)
* Denver (toss-up)
* Minnesota (slight favorite)
* @Minnesota (toss-up)
* @Portland (slight underdog)
If they are able to go 4-2 or better in those games, I think they have a very real chance at a top-four seed. If they do worse than that, I still think they make the playoffs, but they will be grinding to get in up until the last week.
Let's hope that Ricky, Dante, and Thabo get back soon. Donovan has played amazing while they have been out, but the six minute stretches at the end of Q1/beginning of Q2 and end of Q3/beginning of Q4 when Donovan and Rudy are on the bench are pretty brutal. That's where those three are sorely missed.
