NON-JAZZ NBA PLAYOFF thread

I think they're a very poorly coached playoff team. But the talent, especially Kawhi, is too good to be an average playoff team.
Yeah, they're obviously supremely talented, I just mean their playoff production, last year and this one, has been well below their talent level.

It is inexplicable that their offense has been struggling this badly the past two games. And this is with them playing Kawhi and PG 43 minutes a night!
 
I don’t understand: (1) the fear of the Clippers; and (2) even if the Clippers were actually good, the fear of playing good teams.

Do we think the Jazz are a Championship-level team or not?

If we have the truth, it cannot be harmed. If we have not the truth, it ought to be harmed.

I want to play and beat the Clippers, because it better prepares us to win a Championship. And if we really aren’t there yet, I want the painful medicine to be taken so we make necessary changes in the offseason. Just getting to the WCF is not impressive if you didn’t have to beat anyone to get there.

That is one thing that concerns me. You're absolutely right that it could be just an extension of their playoff failures. But if that offense gets going, I don't want any part of it.

Playing the Mavs would make it easier to advance while also not rushing Conley back.

Irrelevant. You're approaching this from the perspective of the Jazz being 100% healthy. In that regard, yes, I agree with you that we shouldn't fear the Clippers.

However, with an injured Conley? It's only reasonable to want the Mavs so that we don't necessarily need Conley this series.

I think we’ll need Conley to win either series.

I was hoping it went to game 7 no matter who we played so Conley got some more rest.
