Playoff Game 5: Jazz at Clippers 4/25/17 8:30 ROOT, TNT

I don't read lips but it looked like he said **** you. Maybe that's where his T came from?

IDK, I hate that though. Refs are just scared to T someone up in a big situation like that so they hand out a double tech.
 
This is true, but Hill did not play well tonight at all. He redeemed himself at the end with those shots though.

He did struggle. 1/7 from three. Some poor decisions on defense. But you have to make those free throws to win the game. Period. Last year, the Jazz would have missed them. Hayward and Hill were both 5/5 from the line. Can't underestimate how important that is in a 4 point game on the road.

Last game thread worked well so here we go. Same format only using quotes from other teams fan’s after wins. Lets take the lead in this series!

Game 5 Staring:

Why is his face skin so taut, George Hill

Taking Redicks lunch money, Joe Ingles

The only player in the NBA to increase his attractiveness every year for six years, Gordon Hayward

The most refined old man game in the league, Boris Diaw

16 feet from fingertip to fingertip, Rudy Gobert

Coming in off the Bench:

Limping on one leg, Derrick Favors

Ok, he can dribble a bit, Raul Neto

He has the old man strength, Joe Johnson

Who the f*** are these players fam, Joel Bolomboy

So big for a point guard, he’s huge, Dante Exum

Couldn't hit a damn thing when in ATL, now he can hit 3s, Shelvin Mack

Go away, Rodney Hood

Has a future at this thing, Trey Lyles

Most likely inactive:

If he wasn't so injury prone he could be a really good player, Alec Burks

Looks like one of those guys who played in the 50s, Jeff Withey

Fearlessly led by:

Living proof that cokeheads can be successful, Quin Snyder
Great game thread. Can't wait for the next one! Game six - lets close out at home. Stadium is going to be rocking with the best homer fans in the league!
 
Hideous officiating not only allowed LAC free points but also bothered our defensive rhythm in Q4. Two terribly wrong fouls on Gobert.
This should have been a double-digit win. TNT announcers could not believe some calls too! They felt like giving the name of referee after the strangest offensive foul on Gobert like "what's this guy up to?"

Yeah I'm sure that's what's running through their heads. I'd be more forgiving of that mindset if it weren't for Paul acting like a punk all game. If you're lenient over and over and over, of course he's going to do whatever he feels like in the final minutes of the game.
 
The refs gave them a few BS calls. But they were hardly the reason why the game was close. If we could've hit 1 out of those 100 wide open 3s this game would've been over mid 3rd qtr. we easily could've been up 15-20 pts tonight. Our defense was choking them out and really, the clippers don't have many threats.

Literally, JJ Redick is their #2 option right now. They're a completely different team without Blake. Blake when healthy is probably a top 5 offensive player. But, like Boozer, he gives you nothing defensively and is often injured.

Griffin's biggest influence is defensive boards. Without him thwy can't run.
