I am notorious for jinxing my teams. So if things go haywire and the Jazz miss the playoffs, feel free to blame it on this article and hunt me down.
But all jokes aside, it’s hard to not feel optimistic about the Jazz’s chances as they are now in the driver’s seat to snag a playoff spot. Earlier this season, it seemed they would be lucky to sneak into the eighth seed. Now, the Jazz suddenly have a legitimate shot to grab the seventh seed or possibly the sixth.
While they mathematically can still catch the fifth-seeded Grizzlies, that possibility seems a little out of reach.
