Not saying we lost because of Niang, but he absolutely ruined any chance at a comeback. Holy **** was he awful.

He’s been dog water in the playoffs... trying way to ****ing hard.

Please, no Niang in this series. He has been especially brutal.

First I give the Clippers a lot of credit. They played great. Best game I have seen them play in a long time. Jazz have made 19 3s and are down 20 so you know they played well.

We. Have. No. One. Else.

We had like 3 momentum killers... Niang was involved in a couple.

Oh yeah, for sure. He was terrible trying to find Gobert on those plays. Just agreeing with Nate that last play was the nail in the coffin

Niang just has no place in the playoffs. Sure in the regular season when defenses are a little more lax he can drive, pass a bit, and hit open shots. In the playoffs with everything tightening up none of that is there and anything he tries to do will look forced.

 

[Nate505]

Yeah, gotta give credit to the Clippers. They came out really aggressive and didn't give up.

 

[jom2003]

just get someone off a minimum deal. like Austin Rivers for Denver. Cameron Payne for the Suns. No point of holding onto Niang after watching him disappoint time and time again deep in the playoffs.

Batum scoring 17, only getting 1 foul, playing 35 minutes and stretching Rudy out of the lane killed us.

Thats all a good team has to do - put a shooter at the 5 and Rudy goes from being elite to being just pretty good. He or we have to get Batum into foul trouble.

i feel the jazz had some momentum

then niang came in and bricked a wide open 3.
then he turned it over leading to a 3
then he turned it over again leading to a 2

absolutely horrendous. probably the worst stretch of basketball ive ever seen,

 

[Hekate]

I would have liked a sweep but gotta do it like a gentleman.
