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

Is it weird that I was never worried about this game? Probably irrationally confident. Game 6 will be all about dispiriting the Clips in Q1. Get them nervous. Take away their hope. This series is NOT over, the Clips could come out firing with their backs against the wall.

In Game 6 the Jazz need to start fast and then stomp on the Clips throat requiring the arena janitorial staff to pick them up with a teaspoon and a sponge.
 
I think the Clippers are going to fold up at some point in the 6th game ,worn out by having to play the full 24 second clock and watching the Jazz sink baskets before the 24 second buzzer runs out.
Warriors haven't faced a healthy Jazz team yet and I suspect Warriors know if their shots aren't falling they'll be in one hell of a war with the Jazz because the rebounds will be tough to come by against the Jazz.This Jazz team won't be scared ,this I'm sure of.
 
Stop looking at the NBA like a competition. It is an entertainment business. It exists to make money by selling entertainment. So, the advertisers who paid for the late night slot want a close game going down the stretch, not a 15 pt blow out with 5 minutes left.

But don't fall off the conspiracy cliff, the league doesn't script everything. Its like a reality TV show, where there is no script but the producers shape and create situations to maximize the drama or highlight a specific storyline in their "reality" show.

Personally, I choose to enjoy it for what it is, and when the producers hand seems to heavy, I turn it off.

I've never seen such ridiculous **** in the NBA. That was a ****ing farce.

But our dudes battled the ******** and won. ****ing studs, every one of them.
 
I for one am pumped to face the Warriors. It is the next lessen that the Jazz need to learn. How to go from great to elite. How to play championship level ball. If the Jazz were to get past GS they have a legit chance to win the title straight up.

Also last night was huge for Hayward IMO. Hayward, Gobert, Favors, Ingles, Hood and Neto are getting massive experience this series. I believe that this being the dog fight it has been is far better for the Jazz's long term growth than a cake walk would be. Growth under pressure. For that I thank the Clips.

#TakeNote


Maybe it couldn't be scripted better. Character-building game for sure.

After Joe Johnson's dagger.

I just noticed: He has two belly buttons!

Oh well, just another immigrant in California -- but from which planet?
