[vegas]

I'm actually quite interested in this game, because it will say everything about the Jazz. If they show no fire, this team needs to be blown up. If they do it could be a momentum changer.

I was there in the Clippers series. The string of implosions this year is just a replay of the same movie that is the same movie again in this series. I had decided it was Quinn back then, but sometimes by postponing tough decisions (not firing QS) you poison an entire team. I think it's fair to say the team is in a worse chemistry/mental state than we were last year. It's hard to know if the players can be turned around and return to a more productive state at this point with this franchise.

Why bother?

Especially without Ingles. It's fair to say he was the real leader on this team, at least in the locker room.

Dallas would be stupid to play Luka. Worst case is they go back to Dallas tied 2-2.

I’m more curious to see our rotations the rest of the series. Gobert should be playing when Powell is but when he’s not he nor Whiteside should be.

Let's play butler, juancho, Pascal and NAW and go down swinging rather than just escorting them to open layups and uncontested threes. I'd much rather see a hard playing less talented team lose than all stars just coasting to a loss.

All you doubters, whiners and negative Nancys, this is where the system begins to shine. The reversion to the statistical mean will have occurred, Jupiter will have alighted with Mars and Quin's genius will be on full display.

At times last night Mitchell, Conley, Royce and Bogey would have been lit up by chairs glued to the floor.

Sad but true.

This is the dawning of the Age of Aquinarius...

From the #1 offense in the NBA in the regular season to this...

Chairs would have done a better job on defense.

I think Luka sits G4. Gives him more rest and they will like their chances of taking 2 of 3 at home even if they go back tied.
