I don't think the Jazz need to worry about home-court right now. They've beat very good teams on the road this season, and really seem to suffer from the "playing down to the opponent" thing that happens with young teams.
I personally see it as if they lose the stupid ones, they better win all of the big ones. So far they've done that and have posted the best record vs Western Playoff teams in comparison to all of the other Western Conference teams.
We'll see what happens in the playoffs but I think this team knows how to get up for big games.

There is irony in it, true, but how likely is it for the Jazz to win three playoff series without any home court advantage. Those sub-.500 road loses that they just couldn't (mentally) show up for could end up biting them in the biggest of ways.
