This is a tough one for us and if Rubio is out for more than just game 1 it will get ugly. If I was a gambling man I would have to say Rockets in 6.
I'll gladly eat crow to and be wrong if we upset them

What is it with Utah PG's and the 2nd round?
Jazz are still a 6th man and healthy PG away from contending. As much as I hate to say this, Rockettes in 5.
On a positive note, if AB plays well, maybe he generates some trade interest?
Exum's value likely dropped if any prospective suitors were watching the OKC series.

Rockets in 5 or 6. If Utah goes streaky they'll scare HOU. That's all I want out of this.

Rockets in 6, but.....
I think Utah gives them everything they can handle. If Rubio was healthy, I think this is a 7 game series where anything could happen. If Utah can somehow scratch their way to split the first 4 games and Ricky returns, look out.
Houston and their idiot fan base are easily the easiest bunch to dislike in the entire league and they’re currently laughing at us, thinking that we’re a joke of a speed bump. I hope my prediction is wrong and win or lose, I know the Jazz are gonna rattle these chumps.

Game one feels like a loss. 36 hours to adjust to a completely different team after a hard fought series.
I hope the Rockets come out and hit everything, get one of their hot games out of the way, and give us a ton to adjust too.
If the Rockets are cold then I really hope a few people step up and we pull one out of our asses. That would be huge (duh)
Then we get a long wait until Wednesday, game plan, rest, and adjustments. Assuming we get shelled game 1 I’d love to at least put up a good fight game two, obviously a win would be huge.
Then home is where the series gets decided. If the crowd is insane again, if the team is getting into it, it’s possible we just aren’t beatable at home this postseason.
I can easily see 4-7 game outcomes so any prediction would feel dumb. I just hope we play like we have since January, and if we go out we go down swinging. We should’ve easily beat OKC in 5 games. With two home blowouts. And there is a lot to improve on from just about everyone except Mitchell. Who we can not keep expecting to drop 28 a night, but if he does I guess I wouldn’t be surprised at this point.
I can’t wait to watch Quin work. That switching defense with no Rubio should be a killer, but it gives a few guys chances to have a big series for us. The Gobert matchup will be a lot of fun to watch, I wonder what Houston will do against him, and if he’ll be able to adjust to it.
Just enjoy the ride folks. And remember Chris Paul has never been to the conference finals, that’s a storyline worth keeping alive.

Rubio's injury is such **** luck. Just like with Hill last year.

Jazz steal game 1. Rubio's injury turns into a blessing in disguise. Our wings stifle the perimeter. Rudy and Favors Stifle the paint.
Rockets kill us in game 2 becaue Rubio comes back and it throws us off.
Jazz win game 3 in a blowout with Rubio because Snyder adjusts and only plays him 26 minutes realizing our wings give us the best chance, and its the game 3 bump.
Rockets win game 4 in a close one. The refs gift it to the Rockets. Harden and Paul go to the line a ton because they realize they cant keep jacking threes.
Rockets win game 5 in a blowout. Jazz look horrible. Season looks lost.
Jazz win game 6 in a close one. Donavan has his best game ever. 45 points. Matching his jersey number. With the game winner.
Jazz win game 7. In a close one. All around performances from everyone.

I feel similarly. That wouldn't be a terrible outcome, although I'd rather Jazz win. But I would be satisfied with a hard fought series. There's always next year, and this one has been a great success.
But let's win, because **** Houston.
