Game Thread Jun 08, 2021 08:00PM MT: Jazz vs. Clippers - Game 1

[Sean]

Clippers should be tired in game 1 but we were saying the same about Grizzlies when they came to play us after play in. I hope we come out focused and in sync. I think main things are limiting the turnovers and winning the rebounding.

That's a bit different. The Grizzlies were coming off a short two-game stretch and have the youngest team in the playoffs. The Clippers aren't nearly as young and just battled it out for seven games. They should be more worn down than the Grizzlies on that alone.

I do think the Clippers going small against Utah in game one can also wear them down pretty quickly too and hopefully it's a decision that really comes back and bites them in the butt.

I remember in 2007 when the Warriors went small against the Jazz in the semifinals and Boozer picked them apart the whole game. LAC is better, obviously, than the 2007 Warriors but I think this Jazz team is better than that Jazz team - at least I hope so.

My offer still stands to anyone who wants to FaceTime me and I can hold the camera up to one of my kids’ phones.

Lololololololol

Luka. If they switch he can take whoever they switch on to him. Bev was too small so they had to burn one of their big wings on him. Since he's bigger he can see over the defenders and still get a shot off... even if highly contested.

DM may be able to get into the paint and have more success there but if Pat guards him that means Kawhi and PG are out there to help and dive in. They were also very physical with Don... how the game is officiated will have a big influence unfortunately.

We have more creators and more shooters so they will be spread a bit thin.

No one has been able to stop Mitchell in the playoffs.

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 predict we will see more of fish’s *** in the future.

Quin’s got one of these in the locker room:

A series with the Grizzlies clutching and holding all game long was great preparation for what we will see for the rest of the playoffs. It is the one bugaboo the Jazz have had this season. I'm not sure the Clippers can afford to play like that for an entire series. They certainly didn't do it against Dallas.

In the end the Jazz will either win or they will lose.

I think this is the case win or lose.

He will still be the only undefeated player after tonight as well. This dude is averaging 28.5 PPG in 29 mins. Imagine if he went 40 mins like Kawhi and Luka.

Averaging 28 in 29 means he doesn't have to go 40. Heh

It’s very important that Rudy doesn’t flop to draw fouls this series. They playing small and him flopping will give them wide open shots from deep. He needs to play aggressive without complaining so he isn’t taken out of the game. His play will determine our chances.

Playoffs are about matchups. Comparisons such as this are pretty hard to take very seriously.

Do you think kahwi will shoot better than 70% on long twos in this series against the jazz though? If so, why?
