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

[MTS]

Just feels weird if we won 4 in a row. I had the Jazz winning in 5, but I thought they would win game 1 and drop game 2.

So you would consider it more likely that we win tonight if we had won Game 1 but lost Game 2?

That makes no sense.

It’s really hard to flip a coin 4 times and have it land on heads 4 times in a row... if you flip a coin 3 times and it lands on heads what are the odds it lands on heads the 4th time.

Game is a 40%ish win probability regardless of the past 3 results. It is just one game.

I dont agree with that. Consider that a team winning a game is at times largely based on some sort of adjustment. So if you make an adjustment to win a game, then the other team will adjust to that. Games are connected, they arent completely separate events.

Sure it does.

I disagree tonight’s a Kane Fitzgerald night, and within the first 5 minutes we’ll find out how this nights gonna go.

What?

'Tis True:
Utah @ Oklahoma City Ed Malloy (#14) Kane Fitzgerald (#5) Tom Washington (#49)

May the basketball gods have mercy on our souls.

Tom Washington has a home team point differential of +8.5 and home team foul differential of +1.6

The home team win percentage with Malloy as crew chief is .531, but Fitzgerald has home team win percentage of 0.600 and washington has an unbelievable 0.895.

Your threads are killer bro. I hope you don't mind, but I tweeted your mortal combat gif to Jae Crowder... I'll let you know if he responds (He probably won't I am a small fry on Twitter). But that gif was top notch!!!

Westbrook will no doubt get away with everything this game. To save face, the refs will call him for a technical with only a few minutes left, when it's obvious OKC won't be able to make a comeback.

Me too... it’s my birthday today and I care so little about that type of stuff... I don’t want to do any of the birthday stuff today because I just want to watch this game.

I’m ready for the game to start... let’s friggin go!

Happy birthday!

Another awesome game thread. That Snyder gif is gold.

If Utah withstands their blitz in the first half, Utah wins going away.

Sure it does.

Uhh, how?

I could actually see the logic if it was the results of Games 3 and 4 that were switched instead of 1 and 2. But Games 1 and 2 were over a week ago.

Thunder have every chance to win this game. The NBA gift wrapped letting Westbrook off and Adam's. Then they send in the worst officials. That said I think Jazz by 9.
