NBA- Jazz proving the number 1 seed wasn't a fluke.
Warriors- No need to overreact, the Jazz should be up 2-0 given that they have HC. Clippers have shown up to these two games, this will be a good series that will go at least 6 imo
Lakers- Suns-Jazz gonna be appointment television. Both crowds are insane.
Suns- Clippers legs looked tired - most of their 3pt shots hit front rim. I thought the late-2nd and early-3rd quarter fouls on Zubac and Kawhi took the Clippers out of their rhythm, which let Utah take a large lead. Kawhi got locked up by Bojan and he made the right passes out of it, but Morris and the other Clipper role players bricked their way into a loss.
NBA- Leonard must be tired chasing all the guards scores 30/40+ every game. CANCUN IN 2
Raptors- If Reggie Jackson is your best player, you're not going to win many games.
Lakers- that wide open walk-in 3 by Jingleman himself to bring the score to 113 was such a nice scene for an NBA fan. wow I loved this matchup tonight
Hawks- Hot take: Clippers are gonna win the title by playing all 28 possible playoff games.
Clippers- So many frustrating things about the Clippers, but I just wanna say. Paul George my man, you start looking for your shot when it's already too late. Come the **** on. Porzingis bailed you out last series with a worse performance but you're not doing yourself any favors in reversing the narrative when you play so passively like this until the game's out of reach. ****.
NBA- Jazz defense is just legit
Heat- Just saw a clip of Bev pulling someone’s dick going over a screen wtf
Raptors- Just saw a clip of Bev pulling someone’s dick going over a screen wtf
NBA- I absolutely loved that Mitchell kicked that chair after LA went up. The dude is a leader.
Clippers- leonard and george afraid of the big moment.
Raptors- get reggie jackson some help
Lakers- I, for one, just like to watch Paul George lose.
Wizards- Jazz really took a 2-0 lead without Conley lol.
Wizards- Ice cold killer Donovan Mitchell
Supersonics- Reggie Jackson can't win with these cats
Also how ****ing insane is Bojan Bogdanovic? Dude's defense against Kawhi in the 4th quarter was truly something to behold.
I used to think Bogdan was the better Bogdanovic because I enjoyed his game so much, but man Bojan is ****ing insane.
Obviously the 3pt that he's known for, but he can also handle the ball well, finish around the rim, or pull up from mid-range. And that defense is a god damn revelation. I didn't know he was that legit of a defender.
Kings- Surprised Kawhi can’t simply bully Bojan like he does everyone else. Sneaky strong
Sonics- These young future stars are just chef's kiss. Mitchell, Booker, Doncic, Tatum, Ayton, Morant, and Young have all shown out in the playoffs.
Warriors- How is Mitchell able to take over a game while Kawhi defers to PG when the game is on the line?
Suns- I cannot believe the Clippers tanked to face this Mavs and Jazz. This side of the bracket is waaay harder.
NBA- Clarkson was massive while Spida was on the bench resting, it looked like Clippers were going to mount a massive comeback and he said nope, not today.
Lakers- Utah bench with 24 points aka Clarkson
Lakers- What a clutch answer by the Jazz after Reggie Jackson's back to back threes to take the lead. Really showing why they had the best record in the league this year.
Celtics- If we get Jazz-Suns in the WCF there will be some insane home crowds
Wizards- I don’t get it, the clippers come all the way back just to lose the ability to shoot when it matters the most
Lakers- The Clippers clearly have the talent to compete, but they look like a Honda Civic made out of Lamborghini parts.
NBA- Playoff Spida is a cold blooded killa
Kings- Not many players I take over Donovan Mitchell. What a ****ing baller
Spurs- Paul George with the ‘too little too late’ kinda plays
Lakers- utah is not a one-man-show like dallas
NBA- Bogdanovic put Kawhi in his pocket and was very efficient in offense. man of the match IMO
NBA- Usual credit to Donovan for all the scoring and playmaking, but shoutouts should go to Ingles, who seems to have found his stroke, and Bogdonovic, who went hard guarding Kawhi.
NBA- This feels different though. Jazz are just a really good team ngl I haven’t watched them much and didn’t feel like they had enough star power to win but I feel like they’re legit winning by good basketball not just making insane shots
NBA- I mean the star power argument is kinda funny after donovan Mitchell's last year and instead of people giving him the benefit of the doubt they just assumed it was a fluke or something and now he's back but with a team he can rely on scary times for the west.
Suns- Luke Kennard's defense is actually just running beside the attacker.
He actually prevents help defense because he's in the way giving the offensive player more space lmao
Rockets- Clippers need to put up an old schedule in the locker room when they get back home and lie to Paul George that these are regular season games because these playoff performances ain't cutting it.
Spurs-tfw Gobert beat Bojan for DPOTY
Blazers- Feel a little bad for the Clippers tbh. They were getting extremely high quality shots that last 6 minutes. Endless wide open 3s and couldn't buy one
NBA- Did they try to cobra kai Mitchell at the end Lmaooo
NBA- don't let the box score fool you, PG stat padded a totally ****** game.
NBA- Bogey wants this so bad. He’s playing so damn hard
Raptors- dude put the nipple clamps on kawhi tonight
Celtics- the way Bojan has played this year & in the playoffs illuminates just how much the Jazz missed him last year. He's so much more than a spot-up sniper
Lakers- Clippers would play him off the floor they said. Gobert is a game changer on defense
Warriors- Gobert was dominant tonight
Lakers- PG is the most shook. He can't get anything easy inside and not sure if it's an old bad habit or an unconscious adjustment but he's taking a **** ton of long 2s. It's the worst shot in the game, just take the damn three, Paul.
NBA- PG has a really tough matchup against Gobert because he doesn’t finish with quickness or even power so much as length and balance. But because he doesn’t beat his man with quickness outside, he faces a double team when he gets to the rim. And he doesn’t have the power Kawhi has..which isn’t enough either, but at least it would help. Gobert takes away all of PG’s strengths, and PG knows this so it accentuates his weakness in the mental game. Nightmare matchup for him.
Suns- Why does Joe ingles look like my 50 year old dad
NBA- Its nice seeing those Utah fans going crazy.
Warriors- I've always believed in Ingles. Go win a ring bro
Pistons- You can see Kawhi (2 time DPOY) communicating and pointing to Jackson to cover Ingles and for Beverley to cover Bog while he'll get Mitchell.
But Beverley goes too far and gets confused, Jackson takes Mitchell for some reason and leaves Ingles wide open.
NBA- "I am a magnet. I don't know why you guys are worrying about me when my man Joe has the ball."
Donovan has gravity.
Lakers- The **** was that defense? Leave the best 3p shooter open from 3?
Jazz- My favorite play of the whole night. They were communicating, setting up the defense, and guarded every man on the floor... except the guy with the ball.
Warriors- Why tf was Ty Lue clapping lmfao. Lost my **** when that happened.
76ers- If you're too slow they can't see you
Raptors- One of the Clippers assistants had his arms up in the air well before he shot it like "What the **** are you guys doing?!"
Raptors- Sometimes you **** up and leave a guy wide open on defence, usually isn’t the guy who’s been holding the ball the whole way though
Thunder- Lmao 3 guys all watching him waiting for one of the other 2 to pick him up.
76ers- That is some of the most lackadaisical defense I’ve ever seen. He really just
right up to the 3pt line andBucks- You're going to get jingled regardless of whether you guard him or not, so you're better off just putting an extra defender on someone else.
NBA- Ingles was more like Drax - he was moving so slowly the Clippers couldn't see him.
Bucks- Death, Taxes, and MFs getting Jingled
Nuggets- Joe ingles was so clutch. He had the ball in his hands in the last 5 minutes with mitchell turning it over a couple times and it led to an and 1 dunk by Gobert, an open 3 by O’neal, a high off the glass layup by ingles, and this 3.
Lakers- Mitchell was calling for the ball the entire way down the court too with the defense pressed on him. Just a clutch high IQ play from Ingles
76ers- I want to see the man carving up Wednesday night mixed netball with his wife.
Mavericks- I'm rooting so hard for the Jazz this series. I legitimately sprung off the couch to jump around and scream YOU JUST GOT JINGLED YA FRICCIN MORON when he hit that.
As a Dallas fan, we know that clap all too well. So glad to see this comment. First thing my roommate said when they showed Ty was, "Oh god, the Jason Garrett clap. It's over"
Bucks- Whenever it got close Jazz would just hit back to back 3s.
Thunder- When will Joe Ingles’s prime end? Never
Celtics- So let's break this down
Kawhi points at beverly to go guard ingles
Reggie Jackson runs up to ingles and goes, I got it
Reggie Jackson points at beverly to guard...something
Reggie Jackson while pointing goes to guard Mitchell instead
Beverly literally looks at Reggie Jackson and goes "wtf"
Ingles is like...ok I guess i'll shoot then if nobody is guarding me
Warriors- Anyone have a clip of that crazy layup Ingles had that hit the top of the backboard? Haven’t seen anything like that in a while
NBA- Pandemic P: all their shots are lucky shots, unlucky that I bricked my wide open shots
Wizards- This crowd is insane
NBA- Playoff Spida is a cold blooded killer
Lakers- Remember this guy got picked last at the All Star game.
NBA- i feel like it's personal for him. he heard people saying the bubble was fake and he's out to prove them wrong. he looks like an assassin out there. just stone cold even though he's shooting daggers. scary hours.
Lakers- Eat my *** any Laker fan who said Utah wasn’t a threat. A perennial DPOY, a guy that can go for 40+ any game, 2 6th man of the year candidates is a damn good team. Mixed with a coach who looks like he used to kill people it’s a tough matchup for anyone
76ers- Ask yourself: Is there a single player, from the 2015 draft onwards, that you'd take over Donovan Mitchell? Is there? How many guys from those drafts actually do stuff like this in the playoffs? 2? 3?
Okay. How many of them play good defense?
Man's on track to be one of the 20 greatest players ever.
Nets- Tbf it aint like kawhi has shown up yet this series either, he gets going like he did last series, we know what he’s capable of.
Grizzlies- I wished they stopped shooting insane from 3 against us as well. Looked what happened. Now I wish they continue to shoot 50+ from 3.
Raptors- Clarkson is a cold-blooded shooter. It's crazy he's even coming in off the bench. Ya'll got a gem there Utah.
Warriors- Sort of important to note that Ingles started in place of Conley and had 19 points.
Warriors- That bank shot was ****ing good.
Suns- i hope this playoffs gives utah the respect they deserve. Such a ****ing good team with such a nice aesthetic. I love you guys
Hawks- Clippers saw Gobert then froze and tried to pump fake their way out of it. hahaha
Pacers- I always select him on D in 2k and just block the **** out of everything.
Warriors- It wasn’t even plays he made just being on floor scared people into bad shots
Suns- Rudy makes the whole defense better. The perimeter defenders can be more aggressive, because they know that if they get beaten, Rudy is there to clean up.
Mavs- Players got mental breakdown everytime man. He made the paint unplayable
Clippers-It's pretty obvious. The people doubting it are idiots. He's showcasing elite shot deterrence.
Suns- Renaissance for the defensive big man. So good to see.
Mavs- He's unbelievable. During the stretches he was at the bench, Clippers feasted inside. His impact is insane.
Raptors- It's a bit frustrating to see people acting like Mitchell is clearly the best player on the Jazz. AD or Simmons may be more versatile, but holy **** is it impressive to have the best defensive rating in the NBA when you have an offensively-slanted roster with no other defensive studs.
76ers- Morris is a 48% 3-point shooter and is 1/14 from 3 in the series. Lot of them wide open too. If he’s knocking those down it’s a different story but right now it’s letting Gobert dominate inside defensively.
Sonics- Other players have gravity on offense, Gobert has repelling energy in the paint, everyone runs away from it.
