Nets- Tbf Donovan Mitchell playing like peak Michael Jordan isn't something anyone expected.
Then again, it's the Nuggets defense that's allowing him to do it.
Lakers- We always knew clarkson was instant offense off the bench. I hope he wins sixth man of the year some day
Raptors- Clarkson saved from the purgatory of Cleveland to be a huge contribution to a deep playoff run, you love to see it
Lakers- Mitchells play has just been dominant tbh.
Bulls- They’re playing a better team in the first round this year. Sometimes it really is about matchups and the Jazz are a bad one for the Nuggets.
Also Jokic has to play himself into game shape for about a month and with a nearly five-month layoff between games he’s still not back to peak performance.
Bulls- That’s a good point - I meant more with the current state of the teams. The Jazz seem better equipped to absorb the loss of Bojan than the Nuggets do for any of their injuries, really. Plus, yes, Malone’s coaching has been about on par with how I imagine I’d be as a coach in the NBA (i.e. abysmal)
Cavs- Honestly I can see the jazz making it to the WCF.
Donovan Mitchell in the first round of the playoffs so far: 40/4/6 on 56/51/96 (74.3% TS)
Unk- I was telling my friend that he could be "Wade lite" but after this game I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up being just a good as Wade. Crazy as it is to say
Suns- Best player in the playoffs.
In a league where 50/40/90 is a revered shooting line..
Mitchell: 55.6/57.1/94.4 Conley: 61.5/50/100 Clarkson: 69.2/57.1/100 The jazz: 57.5/48.3/86.1
Insane offense by the jazz tonight.
Edit: yes, I know the 50/40/90 club is for season average. I know in single games it can happen often. But its the standard for great shooting, and even in a small sample, the fact that 3 guys on the same team demolished that line on high volume is telling
Lakers- I didn't know Denver was this bad on defense god damn
Nets- Jokic is a giant traffic cone
76ers- Mitchell: "I got to see this dude, he just dropped FIFTYYYYYYYYYYY"
DEN-SLC: For the first time in NBA Playoff history, two players on opposing teams have scored 50 points in the same game.
Denver's Jamal Murray has scored fifty, and Utah's Donovan Mitchell has racked up fifty-one. A pair of virtuoso performances like this in the same game has never happened before.
Bucks- Millsap made a mistake with that stare down
Lakers- Damn you get a block and stare him down and 5 seconds later he drains a three in your mouth
Unk- That staredown was a mistake, Spida is a killer.
Unk- Mamba mentality
To get blocked like that and just go and splash this 3 in his face
Knicks- Millsap with the quickest dose of karma ever.
Sonics- Lol that was a big “**** you” to Milsap.
Celtics- azz look unstoppable since after game 1
Mavs-This Mitchell vs Murray duel has been insane
Pistons- Mitchell top 5 player in the playoffs so far
Raptors- Mitchell is on another planet this game, every bucket is with ease , he's so composed
Unk- You don’t stare someone down that is dominating your team
He had 45 when he blocked him lol
Unk- Millsap really did a clear path then does this to donovan smh
Lakers- Millsap shouldn't have stared down cuz he activated Spider-Man's Instant Kill Mode
Unk- Donovan is no Kobe, but he definitely has a Kobe-esque killer instinct. Imagine staring down a guy like that at the end of a game and thinking you’re not going to live to regret it
Knicks- He pissed me off with that stare down after he just blew the game with that clear path
Thunder- Once the thunder won a game I was like, “If we get past the Rockets, I think we could beat the nuggets”
I’m not worried about the nuggets any more :
Spurs- During the regular season, I thought Donovan gonna end up as another all-star level chucker a la Melo. I was dead wrong.
This kid has that assassin mentality in him. I guess it should have been clear when he took down Westbrook OKC in the playoffs in his rookie year.
Thunder- Wtf are these guys eating in the bubble
Warriors- Goddamn utah has a star
Heat- Spida is LEGIT
Bulls- Mitchell on some MJ **** right now
Unk- How can you not like this dude? So humble yet so deadly. Love watching him play.
Mavs- I can’t think of any other player besides Jordan that has had the kind of stretch that Mitchell is having now. It’s insane how well he’s playing
Cavs- wtf happened to these youngins in the bubble??? they madddddd
Lakers- Was just last week he was perceived as an inefficent chucker and someone who basically couldn’t improve anymore. Sometimes people are way too quick to write off these young guys.
Unk- They’ve literally thrown every possible defense besides zone
Mitchell has been special it ain’t a coaching issue
Lakers- The efficiency Mitchell is doing it on lately have been very very impressive
Hawks- Donovan Mitchell with 2 all-time great playoff performances in ONE WEEK damn.
Warriors- The dagger on Millsap was cold blooded
Lakers- That's some cold blooded game by Mitchell
Pistons- Just got caught up with this game, hot damn this is a fun series to watch as a neutral. The Mitchell-Murray duelling 50 pieces, jesus.
Warriors- Whats wrong with Jokic this series. For a guy considered in MVP talks, he hasnt showed much imo
Unk- Everyone is talking about Luka while Mitchell is having one of the best postseason series of all-time.
Unk- Mitchell has been a ****ing monster in these playoffs.
Unk- I don’t want to hear **** about Jokic over Embiid ever again. He’s the reverse Gobert. Defense is embarrasing.
Nets- Don’t tell me Donovan isn’t a killer, dude has the mamba mentality, also the nuggets fumbled the game they didn’t attack the paint at all no **** they didn’t get calls.
Grizzlies- I’m so happy for Mike Conley. Never really cared for the Jazz before DMitch, but he’s so hard to root against, and Mike is impossible to root against as a Grizz fan. Happy another team can see what Playoff Mike does though. He’s so much fun
Lakers- The Nuggets can't defend my grandma.
Suns- Imma be the one to say it, Donovan Mitchell is the best player in his draft class.
Raptors- Donovan Mitchell about to post himself running into Jamal Murray at the hotel
Suns- When Mitchell is on, he's one of the most exciting players in the league.
Raptors- This post game interview... I love this kid man. So much humility and awareness of where he's at. Jazz are a dangerous team!
Also Jamal sneaking in that 50 piece at the end with the 3-pt. DMitch 51points vs JMurray 51
Pacers- **** my jazz line why don't you Murray
Unk- I really underestmiated this Jazz team, they are pretty good. Their defense has been keeping Utah at bay, and Ingles, Clarkson and O'Neal are very valuable role players with high IQ and the knack for making the right decisions. Also, Quinn Snyder has been outcoaching Malone by a lot
Warriors- Utah almost lost that game just from giving up so many offensive rebounds. So many weren't even from lack of effort. Just unlucky bounces
Mavs- Denver wanted to avoid Dallas and Mitchell has gone insane on their ***. West is staaaacked!
Heat- Don with 2 50+ point games just this series is insane. Dude has looked ****ing amazing.
Warriors- Jingles didn't even need to score a point today /s
Mavs- Donovan Mitchell is averaging 39.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game, while shooting 55% from the floor, 51% from 3 and 96% from the line in this series so far.
Raptors- Donovan Mitchell is a bad man
Knicks- Paul Millsap needs to end up on Shaqtin solely for pissing Donovan off.
Lakers- Denver has no answer for their offense whatsoever. It’s comical how many easy looks the Jazz created compared to the Nuggets who the Jazz forced to settle for jump shots all night (obvs Denver made them tho)
Clippers- I don't know if I can take Paul George playing against his arch nemesis Jingles
Wizards- Donovan Mitchell is the playoff points leader. Man is in the zone.
Thunder- Jazz coming into peak form at the right time. Sucks that Bogdanovic isn’t there.
Heat- The series Donovan Mitchell is becoming a superstar. Man's always been good but dear lord he's finding another level
Also High Altitude team defense Bad
Lakers- I’m honestly shocked. Thought the Jazz were done without Bojan.
Spurs- I can’t believe we are looking at a possible Jazz v Mavs round 2. Great timeline.
Unk- The Jazz are living proof that good things happen to good teams with bad uniforms.
Then again, it's the Nuggets defense that's allowing him to do it.
Lakers- We always knew clarkson was instant offense off the bench. I hope he wins sixth man of the year some day
Raptors- Clarkson saved from the purgatory of Cleveland to be a huge contribution to a deep playoff run, you love to see it
