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).
