2016-17 NBA PLAYOFFS THREAD

So how the hell is this the year the Clippers are healthy for the playoffs? And then of course we lose our most important guy.

Just wanted to whine... now I feel better.
 
Wow I didnt watch the game but just looked at the box score and saw Westbrook scored 51 then I noticed that he took 43 shots and only made 17 of them. That is a kind of Westbrooks season., eye popping numbers but they didnt get the win and his efficiency is rough.

Damn, I really thought he would be a lot more efficient against the Rockets.

Kanter with 7 minutes -- since Donovan realizes he can't be anywhere on the court when Harden is playing. 7 minutes.
 
Oh my, I just watched some of the Houston highlights. Enes Kanter brutalized by Harden.

Terrible draft by the jazz, one guy doesn't dress for a playoff game, and the other guy's team might have been better off if he hadn't.
 
I don't know if they can get rid of him, but I don't know how the thunder can keep Kanter. At least the jazz got something out of him, they might have to just eat Alec.
 
Would've loved to see a Jazz Houston play-off series. Or Houston v. GSW.

I will probably not watch the spurs-Houston series, nor the spurs warriors.
 
Locked on Jazz 04/20/17:

The Jazz are shooting the 3 really well in this series. 41% at 22 attempts per game

Jazz are only getting 12.5% of all offensive rebounds. Playoff avg if 24%

Overall rebounding is 45.9% Second lowest in the playoffs (Boston is the worst)

Low #s of 3s, low second chance points and need to increase FT #s

Jazz are 12-37 midrange, 32.7%FG

Good at the % rim and good % on 3s taken

Jazz are 5th best in NBA where pick n roll ball handler gets the shot. Clips are the #2 in defending that

Effective FG% is down

Clippers pick n roll is doing even worse than Utah. So the Jazz are defending this even better

Catch and shoot Jazz are on "fire" 15-27 2nd best in the playoffs. But only 16.8% of our shots come from this. Jazz should increase this.

If the Jazz get caught into ISO they are out performing v. regular season. The % of our plays here are high and the finishing rate is high. he worries that the Jazz will not maintain this.

Shot clock - Jazz take a bunch of late shot clock FGs.

Talks about the Clips have been unable to maintain a high tempo and push all game. Will the altitude in Utah make this even harder for the Clips.

18.5 catch and shoot attempts per game to 12. Mentions the low penetration game is hurting the kick out catch and shoot opportunities
 
Can my buddy bring his Mophie External Battery Charger into the stadium for game 3? He just doesn't want his phone to die because he wants to take a lot of pics/video.
