Do We Still Want the Jazz?

Yes. The answer is yes.

Despite the fact that the Clippers lost this one, it still appears that LA is the better team. Blake Griffin’s off game was likely the biggest contributing factor, and the Clips still only lost by 6.

You also have to think that the Houston Rockets would demolish us based on how they’ve been playing as of late, and if we somehow slip to the 7 seed, a first-round matchup with the Golden State Warriors would surely be the end of us.
