True, and who knows what or who will be playing in that last game against the Spurs also. That could be a strategic game that affects seeding so I could see Pop throwing the game if it'd mean playing some one more favorable in the first round. And conversely it could be one of those must win games.

As a Jazz fan, I think I rank the last games as the most important: 1) v. Denver 2) @ SA 3) v. Houston 4) @ Dallas 5) @ New Orleans Lucky for Utah, two of the most important three games are at home. |

One Utah win or one Denver loss from clinching the Division.
Clinched a playoff spot with the GS loss. Denver & GS are tied for the 8th playoff spot. Both have 5 games remaining. Denver plays @ Clippers, @ GS, @ Utah, vs. Houston & vs. Memphis. GS plays vs. Kings, vs. Denver, vs. Clippers, @ Phoenix, vs. Seattle. I'd say GS has the easier road, and wouldn't be surprised with the Warriors ending up the 8th-seed again. Dallas COULD drop to the 8th seed, but they close with a pretty easy schedule, and will likely remain at #7: vs. Seattle, vs. Utah, @ Portland, @ Seattle, vs. NO.
