Official Round 1 Predictions: Jazz-V-Thunder

We are fine guys. I kind of like starting on the road. I’m a tennis player and would always defer serve when I won the toss. Gives you a chance to break serve before they are warm and puts pressure on the other guy. Same theory applies here... win the first one while the teams are feeling things out and put the pressure on them.
 
I'm not going to make a prediction. I'm still too pissed we lost to Portland. I would have loved facing New Orleans.

OKC has depth. I'm amazed their record was what it was - they underachieved. If Crymelo and George shoot hot it's not going to end well, though Crymelo has been mediocre as of late and George has been chucking and so I hope that continues.

Westbrook is going to get his. He's a beast.

Mitchell needs to be huge this series. I don't know if OKC can guard him. Brewer used to be a great defender - hoping he's lost a step. Mitchell needs to drive to the damn basket in this series. Also, the key is getting Adams in foul trouble.

Grant is a dark horse - I worry about him burning us in the minutes he gets.

OKC is one of my least favorite teams (along with Cleveland and CS) and so I pray we crush them.

EDIT: I was told we would have played OKC even had we won. My bad!

It comes down to PG13 to me.
If Jazz contain him and not let him break out of his sustained slump (let's hope the Memphis game was just a 'fluke'), I reckon Jazz win.
I think Jazz can survive heavy usage Westbrook triple doubles and the occasional shooting burst from Melo. But PG13 being a beast on both sides of the ball might be the difference.
I am hoping Ingles gets a chance to 'unsettle' him

I kind of like the reverse psychology of a road series taking pressure off us.

We would have played OKC even if we won. I think we win in 6.

Contain Westbrick and we got this. Pg will continue to slump and Anthony is a marshmallow

We need to let Carmelo make just enough mid rangers that he gets confidence and goes straight hero ball.
