Round 1 Game 2 Utah Jazz at L.A. Clippers 8:30pm MDT

[MTS]

Hardly man. They shot 30% from the 3pt line and got 8 FT's despite constantly attacking the paint. If you strictly look at the boxscore the Jazz got pretty lucky to only lose by 8.

Part of the reason they only got 8 FTs is because the Jazz gave literally no resistance on a huge portion of the Clippers dunks/layups.

Yes, I kept expecting a run. I was also expecting someone to make a big play, or show some emotion.

There were definitely big plays being made, but they just werent being strung together.

Honestly, thought the Jazz would lose by 20 with all the emotion of the game one win and Clippers blitzing us. Did better than I thought.

Wish Favors was healthy/ier.

Weird thing is for how hobbled Favors is, he's still much better than Withey out there right now.

I think the Jazz need to just do some simple high PNR with Hayward or Hill. Get them going downhill against Jordan. Hopefully they can get past him and force the Clippers perimeter players to actually dig in off our shooters.

That sounds good.

So does using those 6 Bolomboy fouls on DAJ. And doing that while playing some 5-out sets to get DAJ out of the paint.

I wonder if DPOY voters see another reason why Rudy IS DPOY after that game.

Still, I would actually say the refs favored teh Jazz tonight just based on my memory of keeping track of questionable calls. They gave the Jazz a lot of "bang-bang" plays that could have gone either way.

Maybe, but I don't think it was luck the Clips shot just 30% from 3, Jazz seem to make a concentrated effort to stay home on the shooters and run them off the 3pt line.

Biggest difference from game 1 it seemed to me was favors performance. Everyone else held steady.

We should have added a veteran rebounder before the deadline. Isn't that apparent?

Exactly. Clippers could play like that sleep walking. And I'm not seeing some secret formula that the Jazz could use that could lead to reliable offense/paint defense.

Hayward could play better but other than that winning games sans Rudy will be tough.

That being said I'm now convinced that we are a better team when at full health. If he is somehow back for game 3 then it's on.

A lot of the night we just let them dunk though. We didn't commit the preventative foul.

I don't know if it's luck... they couldn't shake completely free. I was encouraged by the game tonight. Team had every opportunity to lay down. One more shot goes in here or there and it turns the tide.

Yes, but they didnt play a "near perfect game". Still plenty of room for improvement from both teams in terms of playing a 48 minute game.

didn't think about three. I just remembered how easily they scored in the paint. That made me think it as a perfect game i guess. missed rudy a lot
