Shaq again with the jazz hate... saying he's worried about the jazz since both clippers stars didn't play well. BRUH! We went like 10 minutes without scoring.

It’s ok he’s just mad he looks like black shrek just ignore that.

But, Kawhi will play better in game 2 and we do need more from scoring from anyone not named Donovan. If I’m bojan or Clarkson and we aren’t scoring I take it in the paint until you get a foul called. No reason to always settle with threes.

Can’t stop thinking about how good Royce played tonight and actually this entire playoffs. I have been extremely hard on him and have came to the reality that he plays his ****ing *** off. He does what he’s asked and it’s not his fault he’s continually put on the oppositions best players out of default.

What a masterful job he did on Kawhi and he was able to take advantage on the offensive glass like I pointed out before the game the opportunity would be there.

Thank you for everything you do Royce. Your energy is contagious. We definitely don’t win this game tonight without you or Donovan.

I have hated on Royce quite a bit too.... But one thing I never fault him on is effort. Dude plays HARD all the time. Too bad he isn't more talented. Oh well, he does what we need for the most part. Just wish he never guarded dame or curry type dudes

Totally accurate. She thinks I'm a weirdo for my jazzfanz activity. I have no counter argument.

In what world would any team feel good about losing when:

The opposing team missed 21 shots in a row over an entire 8+ minute span.

You were up 13 at half and blew it.

The opposing team is missing their all-star starting PG.

Luke Kennard, Reggie Jackson, Nic Batum, DeMarcus Cousins and Rajon Rondo combine for 11-17 from 3.

Nobody on the opposing team shot 50% from the field besides Mitchell and Favors (1-1).

But, sure, yeah, cheers to the moral victory Clippers fans!!!

It will really suck if conley is out. It could be argued he was our best player in round one (I think he was) and definitely our best shooter.
But......
Against the clippers it might not be the worst think to start the game hiding Mitchell on the defense on the clippers point guard and then having Royce on Leonard and Ingles on Paul George.

Also, I think what really hurts royce is when he has to guard smaller quicker guys that run all over the place. I think Royce gets worn down. I don't think Leonard runs as many miles on the court as the Steph curry/Damian Lillard types.
This matchup should be just what Royce is made for. He needs to have a good series defensively.

Regarding the starpower edge that the clippers supposedly have:

Donovan Mitchell last year in the playoffs averaged 36.3 PPG in 37 minutes.

Kahwi averaged 24.3 PPG in 39.5 minutes.

This season Donovan is averaging 28.5 PPG in 29.9 minutes.

Kawhi is averaging 32.1 PPG in 40.7 minutes.

We have some major alphas and tough battle ready players on this roster. Bogey is fearless and tough as nails. Donovan and gobert are primed and ready to go and chomping the bit.
Royce isn't afraid of any matchup and is going to be all up in kahwi all series.
Joe ain't scared of anyone and will probably make pg13 cry at some point.
We have seen playoff favors before and know what he can do..... Especially against the clippers.
Niang and Clarkson gonna eat.

Conley gonna be fresh and rested when he comes back and the clippers will have to adjust for another head of the hydra after being flummoxed by the 8 heads they will have already had to face

I feel bad for the clippers.

Donovan Mitchell is the only player who is undefeated in these playoffs.

I think the jazz are better than the Mavs.

It took the clippers 7 games to beat the Mavs.

Kahwi Leonard shot 43% on long twos in the regular season. He shot 70% on long twos in round 1 vs dallas and they still almost lost to the Mavs

Clippers haven't had to play in front of a crowd like they will see tonight in a long time. Vivivt going to be rocking. Plus there is the often discussed altitude factor.

Dark mode jerseys and dark mode court and the crowd colors get me so hyped.

Let's go jazz!

I would keep Oni and Forrest off the court.
Play Donovan, jingles, and Clarkson a few more minutes each.

This series is too hard and important to risk those two or any of our scrubs touching the court.

And I stand by this. I hated seeing Oni out there. He looked terrified
