Isn’t the game on Tuesday? That’s what my espn app says

It is, just a brain fart on my part.

We need to run them ragged. They will have played 4 games in one week. By next Sunday hopefully we have a 3-0 lead.

All I ask is to hold home court and split games 3 & 4.

Big series for the franchise and its future. Really, I can't recall a bigger series since the Stockton and Malone Finals teams. Since the 2000 playoffs ended, which really was the swan song for the Jazz ever being a contender (they had the #2 seed in the WC that year - the last time until this season that they had a top-three seed) under Stockton and Malone, the Jazz has lost in either the first or second round 11 times (hell, throw in the 1999 and 2000 seasons for good measure and it's 13 now). Only once, 2007, likely a result of the Warriors upsetting Dallas in the first-round, has the Jazz made it beyond the semifinals.

We've gotta step up and deliver a deep playoff run or I think I'm going to lose total faith in this franchise's ability to ever do it. If not now, with home court, and the top seed in the NBA, when?

I can't think of a more important series since the Finals on just how much this may boost Utah overall as a franchise and move them a rung or two up the contender ladder, even if they bow out in the WCF or NBA Finals without winning it all (to be sure, tho, win this round and that WCF series becomes just as important).

But now is the time to bust out of the semifinals and get back tot he Conference Finals. We gotta beat the Clippers.

Denver beat the Clippers last year in round two when no one expected them to, no reason we can't do the same. I think we have a significant coaching advantage.

I'ma try to be at game 3. I'm good luck! The last playoff game against the clippers I attended was Joe Jesus' last second shot to win it. I'm excited to bring them good luck again!!

That's absolutely the truth. We broke them and they split up. Man that was awesome. Time to do it again!

I’m very nervous about this series... I think the Clips are the toughest west team left for us. It isn’t a dire situation like with Houston or the Warriors a few years ago where there isn’t hope.

I think the winner of this series ends up representing the west. If Mike is healthy I’d give us a real good shot at it... if Mike doesn’t play or is really limited I think we might be screwed.

Im expecting Morris to shoot like 75% from three and for PG to look more like playoff P than playoff pee. I think they bring Bev back for the series too to guard Don and/or Mike. If serge can’t play that’d be helpful.

If I had to guess... I think there is a 40% chance we beat them.
