Official Round 1 Predictions: Jazz-V-Thunder

jazz in seven. Both teams are different than they were during the regular seasons. Jazz have to stop one of the big three and not let Adams shut down the paint. If the Jazz play defense like they did against GS then no one can beat them. Hopefully, OKC does get too much home cooking with the refs but the key is who executes down the stretch. GO JAZZ
 
I'm changing my pick. Picking the Jazz in 7. Love our poise. How we've done on the road. How we played on the road in the playoffs last year. I think we stay focused and poised and the Thunder, at home, chuck away dumb shots in game 7.
 
Thunder in the last 10 games: 5-5
Jazz in the last 35 games: 29-6 with the number one rated defense and a top ten offense over that span

Thunder were 48-34 with Westbrook, PG13, Melo and Adams around all year
Jazz were 48-34 after Gobert missed 26 games

The Thunder have big names but I just think we are the better team.

We should reinstate Matt Harpring to piss off Crymelo. Works like a charm.

Nah. Let Harpring heckle him from the scores table. It will be more impactful that way. Kind of unprecedented, too.

Does melo start for okc? Like has he throughout the year? I was talking to a co worker and he was saying melo comes off the bench and I thought he was a starter for them.

He started all 78 games he played.

yes we do have more depth. The problem is the thunder are built for playoff basketball. They have a solid defense, and they have 3 playoff veterans, 2 of them in their prime. We have a rookie, gobert, and a lot of guys who can contribute in different ways. I still think if the Jazz play JAZZ ball, defend, pnr, and hit their open looks then we got this in 6. If they jazz come to play lethargic and unable to execute then this will be a short series in the way of the thunder imo.
