Game Thread Jun 10, 2021 08:00PM MT: Jazz vs. Clippers - Game 2

[Elizah Huge]

Really hope Don's leg will be ok.

Charlie horses on your thigh really suck. He will be limping and when it gets loosened up he will be good to go.

 

[Jazz Fusion]

If mitchell and bogey are hurt, do you tank game 3 hoping to get some rest for a knockout blow in game 4? Or do you risk the Clippers getting momentum?

Seems to me like we could really end this thing on Saturday if Mike is able to come back and bogey and Mitchell can play well. But if they can’t, might be worth tanking to give them rest.

That bank shot was a thing of beauty. And to think. . . They got him for EXUM!

When they made the trade they didn’t know he was ded

Jazz have these be####s on the ropes we need to take them out rip their heart out and throw it at them while we have them down, stake in the hart, silver bullet time Cowboys

 

[Jingled]

This is so true.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Still a bit worried about Donovan’s ankle...that didn’t look right..hope he’s ok.

Looked like a knee to the thigh on the replay. Nasty Charlie horse, but hopefully no worse than that. PG is still a bitch for cutting him off so aggressively though.

[Coach Ellis]

I love Donovan Mitchell. Shoulda been the #1 pick that year. Glad he slipped through the cracks. Superstar.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Really hope Don's leg will be ok.

It’s gonna hurt tonight... he’s fine... I think. Will be stiff in the morning but he should be just fine.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

I love that he cusses in every after game interview

 

[The Thriller]

This is so true.

How so? Lue nearly won this game off the zone.

We were extremely (lucky) to win this game. Their zone slowed our offense to a halt.

 

[MilesDeep]

Good teams are gonna make runs, but Ingles really gave the clips a boost when he whacked Bev in the face. Really stupid play that turned a 7 point lead into 2. Mitchell will be fine, Conley will play to neutralize the small ball and get Rudy a couple dunks. BROOM ready.

The ankle tweak in the first half is more worrisome than the thigh bruise.

 

[MT Steve]

How so? Lue nearly won this game off the zone.

Damn, Lue nearly won a game against us without Conley.

Masterful coaching job.

 

[The Thriller]

Hopefully in game 3 we’ll get good Favors and Niang. Because they were utterly worthless tonight. Just horrible games all around.

 

[jazzVA]

She was rough tonight... I usually think she’s good.

yeah, I’ve always thought she was very good, just had a bad evening

Agreed. I think Quin closed out well but Utah's inability to adjust to the zone nearly cost them the game.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Guys Bogie stripped Kawhi... tied him up... and won the jump ball... at the end of the fourth quarter... on a bum ankle... it’s the kinda **** people will write poems about.

 

[The Thriller]

Masterful coaching job.

Aren’t we the better team? I don’t get this.

I thought Lue outcoached us tonight and it was pretty obvious. He inserted Beverley, who gave them good mins. He drew up a zone that got them the lead. Had he not done those two things then this game most likely ends in blowout loss. Had it not been for some timely shots by Jingles, this game is a win for them.

If we want to say that Lue’s decision to play Beverley and a zone wasn’t good, then whatever. I guess we can agree to disagree.

But let’s not pretend like Snyder is destroying Lue. I saw our offense in the second half. We got some work to do. “Dog walking Lue?” ********. You’re wrong.

Some of you guys are watching a completely different series.

 

[MilesDeep]

Hopefully in game 3 we’ll get good Favors and Niang. Because they were utterly worthless tonight. Just horrible games all around.

Truth. I'm starting to wonder if Niang will/can ever play well in the playoffs. Feels like he really can't handle the pressure. Favors was every bit as bad in game two as he was good in the opener.

 

[The Thriller]

Agreed. I think Quin closed out well but Utah's inability to adjust to the zone nearly cost them the game.

Right? Had Lue not outcoached Snyder tonight, this game ends in a blowout and Spida may have gone for 60. His zone and Beverley got them the lead. I kept waiting for Snyder to finally figure out the zone. Guess we’ll have to wait until game 3.
