It kind of takes the sting away that I expected the Jazz to lose tonight from the start, but the way they did it is so depressing.

Anyone want to come over to my place and re-watch the game? We can tune into the OKC broadcast to spice it up.

Lmao. You were going on twitter too, right? Masochist over here.

only 2 mins for exum ? another Good reason why Dante should not resign

Dante is a good reason to play him only 2 minutes. Go suck Simmons dick you troll.

The Jazz started feeling themselves too much. Started getting ****y and they relaxed. They thought it was too easy.

I think that even after the 4th foul with Rudy they should have gambled and left him out there to try and protect that lead. Hindsight 20/20, but it should have been considered. You are up huge and have momentum of your own. If you get through the 3rd quarter still up 25 and Rudy fouls out by the end of the 3rd, I think that feels different to OKC and they probably cant make that run in the 4th.

Mitchell also took a lot of bad shots during that run too. Just a lot of settling for 3's by him and some other guys.

And even though Crowder played great, and I'm not blaming him, it seemed because of the foul trouble and maybe Crowder's hot performance, Quin went away from the Favors/Gobert lineup that has been killing the Thunder.

How long can dante put up this 5hit from snyder ?

Before it was mack and neto who got playing time ahead of him. Now it is Oneill. If i were dante, GTFO of Jazz as soon as possible. Unless.he wants to be a role player all his life!!!!!

Meh their heroes heroed. It took 2 severely out of the ordinary games from 2 all stars to turn it around. At the same time we got complacent, stopped playing our game, had both of our bigs in foul trouble...and we were still within striking distance at the end. A strong lesson for our young Cinderella team. I think we close this sucker out solidly on Friday.

They hit open shots and got to the FL. I dont see that as out of the ordinary.

Wrong. Overreaction to a bad game.

No, this has always been true because I'm not one to be clouded by the incessant need to be "positive" on this forum. O'neale and Crowder should play less minutes.

Also, I don't care that Crowder had a "good game" today, he still finished -9 and I'd prefer him off the court. O'neale straight up sucks.

Westbrook has the talent to take this series all by himself. We had him on his heels but we allowed him to find his MVP self again.

 

[Coach Ellis]

If anything the Thunder will learn from this and attack Rudy and hope the refs give them bs calls. If Gobert didn't get into foul trouble we would have won this game.

Jazz need to follow suit and attack Adams again. Getting him into foul trouble was big in the three games that they won. It feels crappy right now, but the Jazz are still in the drivers seat. Just keep doing what was working. They had a 25 point lead in the 3rd, then started cranking up bad look threes and playing ISO ball. They’ll be fine. Quin will regroup and get them back on track. Hopefully Rubio has a better game.

Dante is a good reason to play him only 2 minutes...

He has turned over the ball on 31% of his possessions in this series. 31%!
