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.

Neither was I. When Rudy got hurt in game 1 and we yet we still won, and then when we won without Hayward I realized with everyone playing for the Jazz the odds of the Clippers winning was slim to none. They got close, but only because the refs screwed us and we missed a whole lot of shots. I expected Joe Johnson to be clutch yet again because he did it twice before. It was still amazing to watch, but expected.

With Crawford playing like garbage all the Clips have, shooting-wise is Paul and Redick. They lack shooting and we don't (despite some majorly streaky moments by the Jazz).

Did you see his little temper tantrum at the very end of the game when he lost the ball? Funny as ****!!!

Just watched that. The ref flinched as Christina acted like he was going to throw the ball at him, then Chrissy bitched at the ref that he tried to call time out. Can a technical be called when the game is over?

Lmfao!! The clips had no timeouts to take. That is funny as hell if true.

did anyone notice joe ingles was scoreless!

0-4 from 3

4 assist 3 rebounds 1 block. statistically a horrible game for a starter playing 29 minutes.

but the eye test showed he had much more of an impact than that!


hopefully Friday we get more production from him(in points).

i think doc rivers adjusted to jingling joe

Indeed. Luckily, Diaw offset Joe's lack of points with his ten, and Ingles did other valuable things.

First time poster.

My friends and I left today to go to Disneyland.. we were making great time and decided to get tickets to the amazing game that was tonight. First of all the clippers fans (with a few exceptions) were terrible fans. The stadium only got loud on those back to back cp3 threes. The jazz fans in the stadium out cheered them at times!! Second, what a gritty hell of a win for this young group. Hayward played like a top 10 player in the league tonight. And Rudy was insanely good on the defensive end mostly by getting his hands on pretty much everything. And last I have to tell this amazing experience. After we pulled the victory out we started to walk down the stairs and we saw other jazz fans in the stairwell and for about 8 straight minutes a group of about 15 of us screamed and yelled with excitement. It was incredible. All in all I'm sorry for the long post but I love the Jazz and I love Jazznation!!!!!!!!!!

Lucky, to be there in person, witnessing a classic Jazz game. Very cool.

This raises an interesting point if we advance to the 2nd round. Sure the Warriors have a bunch of bandwagon fans built up over the past 3 or so seasons, but their arena will be a ton more hostile and volatile to us than The Staples Center. That'll be a new experience for the Jazz.

For sure. Although I have a hard time seeing us win more than 1 if we make it to that series, the Jazz style is the perfect counter to the Warriors feeding off the crowd.

Yeah. Should we get to R2 I'm hoping for a win or two. Kinda frustrated about the W's superteam. Almost takes the fun out of it entirely.

That was strange, I expected them to get another shot and maybe have time to foul the jazz again. Chris is usually so good with the ball, and he just lost it....

Snyder wasn't having it. He knew CP3 was their only desperate hope. He killed that notion like an episode of Dexter.

Perhaps it takes the fun out of it for the rest of America too. I read yesterday the ratings are down for the second year in a row for all of the playoffs and down for Cavs and Warriors too.
