Just like we beat them without Gobert. Obviously taking away their second scoring option is not good for them, and it makes for a simpler game plan on the defensive end.

That's true. He was averaging 25 PPG against us before he got injured yesterday. We would be foolish to think that him getting hurt isn't beneficial to us.

clippers are better without em.

Ridiculous. That's like saying the Jazz are better without Rudy Gobert because they won Game 1. He's a top 5 PF in the league.

Now we need someone to play some physical D on Paul. Otherwise, without Rudy, it's not looking good.

If the Clippers weren't the most whiny annoying team in the league I'd feel really bad. They got annihilated by injuries last postseason, too.

That said, they might still be able to handle Utah without him, but that'd be the end of them after this series.

Hopefully the refs from last night get big toe injuries and are out for the playoffs too.

Now when we win the series Clippers fans will claim the only reason we won is Griffin got hurt.

I definitely feel bad for the Clippers, but I feel worse for teh Jazz.

Clippers won the game without Griffin and thats true. However Griffin hold them in the game in the first half. Or the difference would be 20 by then. I see us a good chance winning the series now. Just secure the win next game. And Gobert will hopefully be back by 5. We might actually win 3 in a row. We cried oh God we are so unlucky after Gobert got injured. Now God says, guys, dont cry about luck from now on. It is your work now, just go out and play and win the series.

No way. Griffin may be a defensive liability and his solid scoring skills aside, he's also a very good passer for a PF. Without him I expect to see a lot of Snyder adjustments, as I'm hoping the Clippers offense will slow down and have a tougher time scoring easy baskets.

I'm wondering if they move LMAM to PF or play Speights there.

Tough luck. I hope he recovers well. Injuries always suck. I wish there was a chance that we could compete with full health on both sides. ( here is a tip: we'd win easily )

The way we defended it last night all they have to do is run the CP3/DJ 2-man game and they will win handily.
