Jazz vs. Mavs in round one

Lol guys we already got a break from the league. Game 1 was scheduled the earliest way possible for us already. Zero shot they give 3 days in between Game 1 and 2 and then another between Game 2 and Game 3. You think teams are going to be ok with playing with one day in between while we are getting two in between both? I highly doubt this happens. I almost guarantee Game 2 is on Monday and then they could stretch Game 3 to Thursday.

I hate being right all the time.
 
Since 2000, the Jazz in the first round: 36-41...and 10-25 in the second round.

So, we're slightly worse than average in first-round games (though 6-2 in that 4/5 match-up) and terrible in the semifinals.

Make of this what you will.

Thanks.

Yeah that's more than weird. But it would be the league basically admitting they cater only to whoever they view as the superstars. They didn't do that last year for Mitchell. If they do that'd be the beginning of the end of my fandom. That and the obviously slanted officiating this year would cement it that there is no interest in the game, just the money machine.

What's really stupid is the game is popular enough they could play it very straight and still be insanely profitable. But anything and everything is fair game if it bumps the profits up 1/2 a percent.

The NBA has been at least slightly manipulated ever since they changed how the refs called games between Detroit and Chicago 30+ years ago.

We should win this series, but this team's confidence is so shaky and they are so dysfunctional anything could happen. I honestly think the Mavs are probably gonna win.

If Luka is able to be Luka by game 3 we are in trouble. If not then I think we win... it will be a bit hollow but I'll take it.

Same vibe I get. I think the Jazz should win this series even if Luka was healthy. They should definitely win now that Luka is hurt....but nothing about this team's performance makes sense. Can't trust them to perform, especially when it matters most.
 
When Luka starts doing individual on-court work, he'll still be 8+ days away from coming back. He needs to start running and then be cleared for contact and practicing full speed. I think he's going to be out through Game 4, at least. He could easily miss the entire series. Jazz should really be up 3-1 after 4 games.
