Added to Calendar: 06-12-21

I still think totally sitting Conley here was ***. Probably wouldn’t have resulted in a win, but maybe Donovan wouldn’t feel like he has to go so hard and play so many minutes.

We don’t know what it even is. I think @Saint Cy of JFC is right about the foot, in which case... sigh... that’s... REALLY not good for at least this postseason.

Either way, I think it's safe to say the Jazz don't look anywhere near as good as maybe we thought a day ago. You can tie it to injuries or what but if they get by the Clippers, I'm not very optimistic they beat the Suns. Still, Conley returning can change things dramatically. I just don't know what to expect about Conley.

That doesn’t sound like it will get better but who knows. I thought CP was done and then he rose from the dead.

It’s clear we can’t ride him this much. It’s time to bring back Mike and try it... even if we end up going down in flames.

Pretty sure we go down in flames if our third best player is being told to be George Hill.

Punch. Counterpunch. Counterpunch.
Jazz were never going to sweep the Clippers.
PG and Leonard are too good not to win a game or two, but the Jazz have to do a better job of playing defense, minimizing mistakes (especially turnovers) and getting more rebounds. Clippers have gotten WAY too many extra chances - which they usually convert. Nothing worse than playing good defense and getting a stop - only to have them get the rebound and scoring off it.

Except, their players aren’t getting injured while our players are. Hard to win a series when your starting backcourt either isn’t playing or is breaking.
 
Jazz were almost always going to lose this game--Clippers weren't going to lose the series tonight. This is not the disaster some of you are making it out to be. The truth is, we really need Mike back to close this series out. And we really need Donovan not to be injured. I've always said that the Jazz can win this series with Mike playing but probably not without him and even still think that's the case. Mitchell's injury really worries me.
 
Yeah, if Mitchell is gone, heck of a season but man it's an uphill battle. I honestly think it won't be as bad as I'm thinking...but only because I always expect the worse. Curse of being a Jazz fan for 30+ years I guess.
 
Going forward in the series we may have to play Rudy about 38-40 minutes a night. I love Favs but he's just not holding down the fort right now while Rudy sits, especially defensively.
 
Niang was horrible tonight. No way to sugarcoat it.
But he has been very good all season long and has been in the rotation while we claimed the best record in the league, beat the grizzlies 4-1 and got up 2-0 vs the clippers.

I think he deserves to be in the rotation and the next time he gets a pass for a look at a three I hope he shoots it and I would bet he makes it

Just need to rehab a little bit for Donovan and regroup for game 4. We can dog fight our way to a win for sure on Saturday, especially if we get Mike Conley back.

Sky is not falling people. We're winning this series in 5 or 6 games.
