Who is gonna have to play the Jazz?
The top 4 seeds are pretty much locked in place. Looking at the current 5-8 seeds, who I believe will be same come playoff time, and the only team that bothers me is the Jazz.
It's not that I think the Jazz will make it out of the 1st round, but their physical defense, combined with a high-altitude HCA, might just take enough out of the opponent to cost them in the 2nd round.
The Jazz are currently 8th, but I think they end up higher. The Grizz are a decimated by injuries, and the Blazers seem to be coming back down to earth a bit. I expect the Rockets and Jazz to climb to the 5th and 6th seeds, which could make for interesting match-ups with the Thunder and Clippers.
As a Warriors fan, the only team I'd like to avoid in the 1st round is the Jazz. The other 3 teams, for various reasons, don't worry me as much.
