If Westbrook overplays on defense Rubio will have a career day passing the ball. His career high is 19 assists (vs John Wall)

I truly hope Westbrook does take this as a personal vendetta. That will push him even more into hero ball and take him even more out of the games.

Also I am not sure if OKC knows this but we are Hydra. Cut off one head, 2 more rip out your basketball soul.
 
I’m so happy we don’t have to wait 2 days to get this series at 3-1, and get on our way to a Utah/Philly finals.....but really I hope Westbrook takes it personal and focuses solely on his own battle with Rubio, because after his comments the refs will be watching closer and someone else will go off. The Jazz had some rough sequences with Exum last night, lots of stupid turnovers that can be cleaned up, and OKC shot the ball really well and the game was basically our blowout version of game 1. After scoring only 2 points in game 2 during the 4th between the 3 of them if Game 3 is as motivated as they became from that we should be in good shape.

I hope tomorrow nights crowd is just as rocking, and the Jazz have the foot on the throat, home court tomorrow, and a chance to take complete control of this series on a team that is not at all sure who they are and doesn’t seem like they’ll deal with adversity well at all. A good win tomorrow could really break the will of the Thunder....now do it.——Donovan for 40
 
Most importantly, if Westbrook has to spend time defending Rubio, he ain't getting those rebounds. Imagine the Jazz rebounding advantage becoming even MORE lopsided. . .
 
Crowder's defense has been pretty good the last 2 games. The adjustment to him playing more 3 and less 4 has been critical.

Crowder has played with a healthy Gobert and without Joe Johnson. Nothing about the team's success really has to do with losing Hood or gaining Crowder. Their total BPM is the same for their time in utah, and that's with Hood being in a much harder position w/ worse circumstances.

I know you really like to defend Hood. But frankly I'm glad he's gone. They weren't going to pay him. And I cringed when he tried to go hero ball. People complain when Crowder shoots too much, but Hood was a bigger offender of that. He played outside the offense more than Crowder does. And there is no question who the better defender is.

When Crowder is missing shots I don't feel he's worthless. Can't say the same about Hood.
