This is true, but Hill did not play well tonight at all. He redeemed himself at the end with those shots though.

He did struggle. 1/7 from three. Some poor decisions on defense. But you have to make those free throws to win the game. Period. Last year, the Jazz would have missed them. Hayward and Hill were both 5/5 from the line. Can't underestimate how important that is in a 4 point game on the road.

Last game thread worked well so here we go. Same format only using quotes from other teams fan’s after wins. Lets take the lead in this series!

Game 5 Staring:

Why is his face skin so taut, George Hill

Taking Redicks lunch money, Joe Ingles

The only player in the NBA to increase his attractiveness every year for six years, Gordon Hayward

The most refined old man game in the league, Boris Diaw

16 feet from fingertip to fingertip, Rudy Gobert

Coming in off the Bench:

Limping on one leg, Derrick Favors

Ok, he can dribble a bit, Raul Neto

He has the old man strength, Joe Johnson

Who the f*** are these players fam, Joel Bolomboy

So big for a point guard, he’s huge, Dante Exum

Couldn't hit a damn thing when in ATL, now he can hit 3s, Shelvin Mack

Go away, Rodney Hood

Has a future at this thing, Trey Lyles

Most likely inactive:

If he wasn't so injury prone he could be a really good player, Alec Burks

Looks like one of those guys who played in the 50s, Jeff Withey

Fearlessly led by:

Living proof that cokeheads can be successful, Quin Snyder

Great game thread. Can't wait for the next one! Game six - lets close out at home. Stadium is going to be rocking with the best homer fans in the league!
 
Hideous officiating not only allowed LAC free points but also bothered our defensive rhythm in Q4. Two terribly wrong fouls on Gobert.
This should have been a double-digit win. TNT announcers could not believe some calls too! They felt like giving the name of referee after the strangest offensive foul on Gobert like "what's this guy up to?"

IDK, I hate that though. Refs are just scared to T someone up in a big situation like that so they hand out a double tech.

Yeah I'm sure that's what's running through their heads. I'd be more forgiving of that mindset if it weren't for Paul acting like a punk all game. If you're lenient over and over and over, of course he's going to do whatever he feels like in the final minutes of the game.

The refs gave them a few BS calls. But they were hardly the reason why the game was close. If we could've hit 1 out of those 100 wide open 3s this game would've been over mid 3rd qtr. we easily could've been up 15-20 pts tonight. Our defense was choking them out and really, the clippers don't have many threats.

Literally, JJ Redick is their #2 option right now. They're a completely different team without Blake. Blake when healthy is probably a top 5 offensive player. But, like Boozer, he gives you nothing defensively and is often injured.

Griffin's biggest influence is defensive boards. Without him thwy can't run.

AFter 2 clutch wins, Kiri definitely needs to do the next game thread.



She has turned out to be our angel of luck!!!!
 
Really enjoying the maturation of Hayward. Remember when delonte west put his finger in his ear... just about took Paul's shoulder off when he kept reaching for the ball.


CP3 is a bitch. Shoved Rudy twice after not getting a bs flop call... no call was made of course. The guy is so good but his act is so tired.
 
First time poster.

My friends and I left today to go to Disneyland.. we were making great time and decided to get tickets to the amazing game that was tonight. First of all the clippers fans (with a few exceptions) were terrible fans. The stadium only got loud on those back to back cp3 threes. The jazz fans in the stadium out cheered them at times!! Second, what a gritty hell of a win for this young group. Hayward played like a top 10 player in the league tonight. And Rudy was insanely good on the defensive end mostly by getting his hands on pretty much everything. And last I have to tell this amazing experience. After we pulled the victory out we started to walk down the stairs and we saw other jazz fans in the stairwell and for about 8 straight minutes a group of about 15 of us screamed and yelled with excitement. It was incredible. All in all I'm sorry for the long post but I love the Jazz and I love Jazznation!!!!!!!!!!

No, sorry, the real life Spinoza was and that's why I put that. I live in Austin, TX after having grown up in SLC.

Are you there because of the university?

I also have no doubt that Gordo probably would've gotten more into CP3's face after that shove had this not been the playoffs. Did the absolute right thing and should've gotten us a free tech...... but refs.
