I like him on KD... Use his smarts to maintain good body position on KD and keep him out on the perimeter.

KD is too quick for Jingles. I think he will do more damage to the warriors on the other end, his two man play with Rudy could be pivotal to any hope the Jazz have for the series. what did he have last time they played them? 8 dimes? Rudy had how many flushes? Including that monster left hand tomahawk.

In order for the Jazz to compete with the Warriors, they're going to need Gobert and Favors to play together like they did after the Kanter trade. Combine that defensive dominance with Hayward's All Star ascension, the veteran influence of George Hill, Joe Jesus, Jingles and Fat Boris, and a positive contribution from Rodney Hood and Dante Exum. . . and they might compete with the "Super team". The one thing I know for certain is that the Jazz MUST dictate the tempo of the game. Force the Warriors into a grind-it-out series and they'll keep the games close. Don't get lulled into a shootout. Jazz can't compete at that pace. Force them to go bigger and slower than they want to.

Agreed, after last night I am much more confident about where Favs is at. Force them to play big. We can't beat them at small ball. Let Draymond try to be more efficient with his jump shot than Rudy and Favors in the paint.

I'm wicked curious about how Jingles performance against Redick and the other Clippers' guards will translate into the series with the Warriors. The Warriors are all bigger than Redick, which, I think, negates a lot of what Jingles had going for him in that match-up. But I wonder if we will choose not to put him on Durant or some of the Warriors bigger/longer players (like we have done), and let him face-guard Klay or Steph instead?

Or, should we go small and try him on Draymond?

I'd put Ingles on Thompson, at least for the majority of his minutes. Thompson does a lot of the same stuff Redick does, just better and is bigger. Ingles still has enough length to both him and you dont have to worry too much about Thompson off the dribble. The difference between Klay and Redick is that Klay's size will let him get the shots off and Klay probably wont stop shooting. He didnt have a great series against the Blazers, but still shot it 17 times per game.

If Hayward picks up early fouls you probably want to switch him off KD and onto the other wing player.
 
Too bad Lyles regressed this year. He would've came in handy against GSW and their small lineups

I definitely get this perspective. I think it's probably what will happen. But because Thompson can still get his shot off, and is unlikely to go off the dribble, I think there should be a contingency plan for Ingles. I mean, closing out on the smaller player and then being well-positioned for his dribble is what he's doing really well right now. ...In other words, I'm not sure you're maximizing Ingles by putting him on Klay (not to mention the fact that this is what the Warriors are expecting). Curry is probably a nightmare, though. Dunno. The ****ing Warriors, doe. Assholes.

Why in the hell are u dumb enough to think it's a good idea to play a guy that doesn't know what he's doing against the greatest team ever assembled?? I love his potential as much as the next guy, but come on!!

The great thing about sports and probably one of the reasons I love watching it, is that the best team doesn't always win. Should the Warriors win, yea on paper they have more stars, but basketball is a team game and stranger things have happened.

Did anyone thing Buster Douglas would beat Mike Tyson? Villanova beating Georgetown? USA Hockey beat the great Russia Hockey team? Of course not!!! But they did and so can the Jazz beat the Warriors. Now the Jazz have to play even better than they did against the Clippers. The Jazz have the style to beat the Warriors and they need to remember it.

They will get destroyed if they try to outscore them but if the Jazz play defense like they did in game 7 they can compete with any one. What the Jazz need is a full team effort and to defend their butts off. They need to show GS that they are not afraid of them and they need to be resilient when adversity hits them.

Do I realistically think the Jazz can win? Without my homer glasses probably not but I really feel that the Jazz can compete with them and I believe the players also believe they can. Having the media, talk up the Warriors might just help take the pressure off them so they can just play. So predictions mean nothing and sports always delivers surprises so why not the Jazz?

I am excited about the series and all I can ask for is to show the world that they have underestimated this Jazz team. I love the fact that no one thinks the Jazz can win. So maybe they just will!!
