In the years in which they qualify, they can’t get past the second round.
Last season, they beat the Thunder, 4-2, in the initial series, then lost, 4-1, to the Rockets in the second. The season before, they sank the Clippers, 4-3, in the first and got swept by the Warriors in the second.
In five of the previous six seasons, the Jazz didn’t make the playoffs. The one year — 2011-12 — they did, they were promptly swept by the Spurs.
From 2007 to 2010, the Jazz were eliminated each of those three postseasons by the Lakers, twice in the second and once in the first.
