Game 5: Termination Game -- Jazz @ Thunder 4/25/2018 7:30 pm MST

RW hero mode can win on any given night, and then there is George.

We had them right we're we wanted.

Rudy did choke that 5th foul away.

That 5th foul was some next level stupid by Rudy.

Hopefully the game won't go into overtime so you don't miss the movie.

The game won’t be over before 11:00. He’s boned.

It happens. He's a stud with an eye on the prize. I'm sure he wishes he had that one back.

Quin should have sat him and focused on offense at the moment. OKC scoring was inevitable at that time but we didn't match buckets. At all.

This game is another proof that Rudy is the most important player in the Jazz lineup.

Very tough to win there twice in a series...

But the Jazz would only have to win there once. It is the Thunder that have to win twice now, in a row.

This. I'd think he had money on the game, if I didn't know better.

They already won once. Game two. If they play game 7, we would have to win there twice. Westbrook will defend his house.

In the 2016 finals there was a call suspend Draymond Green from Game 5 with the Warriors up 3-1. Rudy may as well have been suspended for the second half of this game. That changed momentum that couldn’t be stopped and woke up some special players on the other team.

Rudy goes out.....Jazz lose a 25 point lead.....Westbrook becomes Westbrook.....Thunder sit Carmelo....and get all momentum in this series back.

The way the Jazz lost tonight is the absolute worst way they could have lost. The series was over. The Thunder and specifically Russel Westbrook will show up Friday night. You let a special player wake up. I’m very concerned about Game 6.

Jazz have a huge problem: They let huge runs go on the road. Don't forget Game 2's 19-0 run by the Thunder. I think they had a 12-0 run during game 1 too.

Who? Rudy? GTFO.

Yeah, there offense goes to **** at times.

I point to Gobert's offensive foul as the single most important factor in the game being lost and I'm sure he does too.

Rudy, you don't need to brazenly hook a pubescent 100-something pounder, especially when you're in foul trouble. I'm sure you know that.
