The great and dreadful day of the Donovan is at hand: Jazz @ Thunder 4/18/2018 6:00 pm MST

Seriously happened this morning. I woke up at 7am and heard a loud voice in my head. "get up and check the score" "get up" "they won". I had a charge, and felt it.
I always get nervous when I wake up after big games, and go to check the score. As the feed loads what will I see first? Some negative comments, something from the jazz official page, a highlight."? Sometimes it's a negative comment from one of the Facebook jazz groups, and my heart sinks. They lost. Damn it. Sometimes its something positive, and your heart races, they won, they won! And I scroll down to find the conformation.

Today I kept hearing that voice, over and over. I lay in bed too scared to check. But it was persistent, and very powerful. Like an angel or something talking to you. Im not joking guys!

Then my son runs into the room. "mommy told me to come wake you up".

Ok there is no choice now. I must open my facebook feed and face "it".

What will be the first thing I see....

Was the repeateded voice in my head just wishful thinking?

Somehow I felt good. Which is rare in any morning...

Ok turn on phone, click Facebook.

First thing I see "donovan being interviewed with a smile on his face...."

(heart racing)
 
So damn proud of this team! The resilience on display just brings a tear to your eye.

Foot on throat now, don't let them get up.

I think there's a near 100% certainty that all of our rotation guys will be back next year. I'm also worried about what the ceiling of this team is as currently constructed though.

Iawtp. The good news is, not many teams have cap space so I’m not sure Favors or Exum will cost a ton to retain and in theory, for that reason, could become very tradable assets, should a great trade opportunity arise.
 
Those 3 pointers by Favors were so damn sexy. Also, it is key for us that the Thunder had Melo in there rather than Kanter. Their lack of a second big to deal with, or trouble Gobert and Favors is key. Imagine what they could do with Udoh even. . .

I'm very pleased that trading Kanter brought us Rubio and saddled OKC with Melo on a ridiculous contract.

Those idiots!! The Thunder are probably better off signing some GLeague big then playing Melo. I mean don't the Thunder know Melo has never beaten the jazz in a playoff series?

Lol
You didn’t let me down. Huge playoff win for the jazz and an awesome game and no positive jazz comments in the gamethread.
 
QS made adjustments and they showed, Favors being the big difference this time. Adams is a tough assignment, but Gobert+Favors >> Adams.
Don does things rookies are not supposed to be doing, and he does them casually.
Rubio with the 22/9/7 statline showing the playoffs are not too big for him (and against Westbrook, no less).

Great to have Jerebko stepping up because Crowder and O'Neale didn't show up this time.
 
I liked seeing Donovan going strait at PG13 in the clutch. They couldn’t stop him once he decided to win the game.

His learning curve this year has been phenomenal, but I’m not sure we really expected him to start his playoff experience with 55 points, 16 rebounds, 5 assists and splitting the games on the road. He played 43 minutes last night through an injury.

Regardless of how far the Jazz go in the playoffs, I feel like somebody ought to send the Nuggets GM a nice gift basket.
