This is the series that puts the Jazz on the map. Playing against LA means that people will actually watch.

That's not "tan", that's "burn". So you were out on a boat. Just not bare-assed.

Next month we're going to do one of those shark dive in the cage things. Expensive but pretty excited.

That's my wife's dream come true. She wants to do that really bad.

If they can beat our literally NBA record-setting 3 pt barrage and our dunk parade with their mid-range shooting then so be it.

We just need to make sure we keep them shooting mid-range shots. Run them off the 3 and funnel them to Rudy in the sarlacc-pit. I'll settle for contested 15-footers while we bomb away from 3.

Our 3 pt barrage isn’t nearly as potent without our all-star PG. I was worried about this series even before conley got hurt. Now I’m pretty pessimistic about our chances. Hope I’m wrong.

You won't believe me but the huge aquarium in Atlanta has a new shark exhibit and they are offering these controlled cage dives with the sharks.

A bit spendy but I'd rather test a controlled environment first before the ocean. I've seen 47 meters down!

It's about $240 per person plus aquarium admission.

Interesting stuff

Keys for the Jazz vs. the Clippers: Rudy Gobert’s presence, stopping 3s and Mike Conley’s health

This could be a career-defining series for Rudy Gobert, but the Jazz also need to worry about the Clippers' shooters and Conley's hamstring.

We need Ingles to play really well if Conley does not play.

The inverse is also true.

Problem is they have a barrage of 3 pointers too. We have to avoid letting Morris, Bev, Kennard, Jackson having a bunch of threes. Rondo will also inexplicably shoot 50% from three against us.

Royce has to stay out of foul trouble. Don has to have a few supernova games. Joe has to be good at basketball again. JC needs to give us a couple flamethrower games and avoid the dumpster fire games. Mike needs to be healthy and play in 4-5 games. Rudy also has to have his most dominant playoff series. Unless they **** the bed (which is possible) we need a few outlier series from guys to beat this team.

People are sleeping on this team because they the Clips and Playoff Pee... but they are very good. Kawhi is capable of getting to that MVP type level. Their roster is so malleable... I expect Bev to be back and hound DM this series... guy wasn't even in the rotation end of last series. They have like 3-4 guys outside of PG and Kawhi that would be the second (maybe first) best perimeter defender on our team. They play unfocused sometimes and that is where we could have a huge advantage.

I said run their 3 pt shooter off the line into Rudy.
