Game 5: Termination Game -- Jazz @ Thunder 4/25/2018 7:30 pm MST

As a Jazz fan, I like this situation. This is exactly what you want a young team to experience. In the post-game presser the Jazz guys looked pissed. I want to see them take their intensity up a notch and return the favor. If they can overcome this, they'll be better for it.

The Jazz were having it too easy in the series and they got complacent. They were lighthearted and laughing after games. That's not what playoffs are about.
 
The Jazz won three games in a row. The last two were blowouts. They were up 25 pts. in the 2nd half. The Jazz were caught off guard. They won't get caught like that again.
 
A few things stood out during their run. Obviously without Gobert, and partly Favors we were swiss cheese. Also, Gobert's 5th foul was painful. Rubio was wide open for 3.
I was yelling "pass the ball"! I wish he didnt try to hook that defender, and attack or whatever he was doing. Then there were several of our shots that were in and out. Again, another obviously point is that we settled for too many jumpers in that stretch and didn't attack.

Thunder turned up their defense, and we wilted. Give it up to them.

I agree with most here, its not that we lost, its the way we lost that stings the most.

Game 6 it will be a fun test to see if we can put them away. This team has always bounced back. Have faith.
 
Worst play of the game was Rudy giving up a dunk for a three point brick. We would have won if we played smart Old school basketball. But, instead we had to take a three every time down the court while they made us foul attacking the rim.
