The 27th episode of the Three-Point Threat Podcast takes a closer look at the Utah Jazz’s position in the playoff race and more!

With eight games remaining in the regular season for the Utah Jazz, the Three-Point Threat Podcast is back with a look at what’s left for the Jazz to close out the season. For Point 1, I take a look at the current playoff race and how things are looking as the Jazz look to get as high of a seed as possible in the first round. It may seem disappointing to some that they are now in eighth place, but they still have a great opportunity to continue to climb.

For Point 2, I give my two cents on some Jazz players and personnel that deserve to be in conversations for end-of-year NBA Awards. That’s not to say that the Jazz will take home all or any of them, but they at least deserve consideration.

Finally, for Point 3, I dive into the important week ahead for the Utah Jazz. Every game is vital at this point as Utah looks to solidify their playoff spot, but they’ll be in for no easy contest as they host the Boston Celtics on Wednesday, the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday, then visit the Minnesota Timberwolves in a big showdown on Sunday that could have significant playoff implications.

The podcast is available below as well as on Blog Talk Radio:

The losses to the Atlanta Hawks and San Antonio Spurs last week were disappointing, but I still believe this team is on the right track and can flourish leading up to the start of postseason action. Be sure to find out how I think the Jazz will fare by tuning in to this latest episode.
