For a moment, let’s accept the premise that the Jazz, who have less than a two percent chance of missing the postseason in most models, are in.
While Quin Snyder may not feel that the playoffs are yet cinched, the reality is that the Jazz (45-33) are all but going to the postseason. The bigger question is who Utah’s first-round opponent will be, which is still a whole host of teams. It’s more likely at this point that the Jazz clinch a seed between 4 and 7, which would put them against anyone from the Pelicans to the Warriors — KSL.
