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

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.

It happens. Where was the O? Rubio had an off game all night.

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

Or lose there once.

This emergent, blinding pridefulness of the fanbase is disappointing.

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

How does winning there once, a week ago, going to make it harder to win there in a potential game 7? Does the previous game have some magical power of the one to come? Makes no sense. If anything, the previous win tells us that they are able to win there, since they did it before.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Jazz still have home court. Winning game two and then both at home was huge. Too bad they couldn’t stop the bleeding earlier and keep the game closer to finish. Although I thought they looked exhausted at that point, so it might not have mattered.

After Russ hit that first three, I thought Quin would call a TO and get them to start attacking weak points, but he waited on it and Russ got another. Called the TO Nd came back with four strait missed three pointers, while the Thunder converted on every offensive possession in that stretch. Should have thrown Royce, Exum and Jerebko inthere and fouled the **** out of them. Slow it down. Turn it into a slugfest for a few minutes, tried to draw a foul on Adams or PG and get Mitchell, Jingles and Crowder a break.

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.

The Thunder is a good team, with great offensive players.

Even though you're a troll, you speak the truth this time. Dante would be a ****ing star right now if Popovich was his coach.

Under Popovich, Dante would be an allstar now !

 

[Bawse Dawg]

There could not be a more perfect script for me feeling as little confidence as this going into game 6.

 

[cooldude32]

Under Popovich, Dante would be an allstar now !

Haha

No pride, just pointing out that the Jazz will not have to win twice in OKC, just once... and that's if they lose a home game that they'll be favored to win. Just the facts.

 

[TheStormofWar]

We lost. We'll learn, adjust, and win. Get over it.

 

[Shad]

We lost. We'll learn, adjust, and win. Get over it.

^ This.

This game feels like an extreme outlier more than anything else
