Utah Jazz 2018-19 Championship Bus CHOO CHOO

This is why losses to Lakers a couple nights ago and losses Hawks and earlier in the season Mavs by over 40 point bite....I know its just one game right?
Just have to play it a game at a time and keep focused

Clutchfans meltdown. They are a massive fanbase, and due to our history with the Rockets they despise us. They'll turn on their own players at the first sign of trouble. This series has the potential for exquisite schadenfreude. JazzAvenues very well could produce his finest work.

There's no team I enjoy seeing the Jazz beat more than the Rockets, and that has a lot to do with the inevitable Clutchfans salt.
 
Last season I was convinced they were going to destroy us and they did. This season I believe it's going to 7 games.
 
Btw ull see tucker on mitchell and probably austin rivers...but the rockets defense has been locked in since the asb. In snuder we trust

Seems right. Utah was injured well beyond normal in that series and Houston is somewhat worse this year. I don't see this as doom and gloom. ESPN noted Ingles stat lines in our Ws and Ls against them. If Ingles (or another SF) finds his stroke against them, we'll probably win.

Thank god for the Blazers deciding they wanted to go against a rolling Utah team over a struggling OKC squad that has a ton of injury questions. Not only do we get a favourable 1st round matchup but the Jazz get to lose to a much more entertaining team to watch in the 2nd round and the FO gets a real idea of where the team is at/who to keep and who to let go vs losing in the 1st round to Harden ISOs.

Every team could say the same thing though

It was the best of times...

...

IT WAS THE BLURST OF TIMES?!?

Some things I’ll be looking for in this series:

Getting Ingles going, he didn’t play well v them last year. We need the Ingles that took Pushoff P to the woodshed.

Keeping Harden off the FT line. We need a 6 or less per game average.

Destroying CPs 10-15 jumper. Not sure who would be best here. ONeale? Mitchell? Sefolosha?

Stopping the 3s by Gordon, Rivers and Green. We are the NBAs best team for fewest 3s allowed per game.

We won't be getting the less than 6 free throws per game by harden. No chance in hell. I would bet anything on it.

What killed us last year was the Paul and capela pick and roll. If Rudy stayed with Clint, cp3 took the mid range j and made like 90% on it. If Rudy contested Paul, capela got a dunk. Rudy will need help but also I don't think Paul can hit that shot as efficiently as he did last year.

Is there a silver lining for this r1 matchup?

-Against Portland a win is the only acceptable outcome, more leeway here.
- A chance to prove we improved even if we don’t make it as far as last year.
- No Trevor Ariza against Mitchell
- Gobert hopefully has been waiting for another chance against Capela, hopefully he’ll play better.
- A chance against the team that ended your season last year
- Clutch fan quotes after wins.
-Easily the best round 1 matchup in either conference.

Here is the upside: We ended the Yao/McGrady Rockets, We ended Lob City, and now we have the chance to end Phi Floppa Jamma. If Houston doesn't beat us, that whole franchise is in shambles. That is a worthy goal.

I also thought we ended OKC but PG didn't cooperate. I know it is just a coach... but D'Antoni is potentially not going to be able to lead the team due to his health issues (sucks wouldn't wish it on anyone).

These guys are much more vulnerable this year. Harden has had a sketchy playoff past when things got tough... If we can make it tough these guys have some melt down potential.

I do think we start with Favs and Rudy... don't bend completely to their game unless we really feel we have to. Favs is a gamer and has been so good this year... believe in him.

Have we tried repetitively feeding Favors inside with Tucker on him? Feed Favors inside and have Donovan go at Capela. Good way to get him in foul trouble (if they'll call them).
