I didnt see it, did the TNT crew give the Jazz any respect post-game? Or are they acting like we don't have a chance? I've gone from thinking we might lose this series even with Rudy to thinking we would get crushed without him to thinking we will win game three without him and possibly the series even if he doesn't come back. That was the best LA will play this whole series, IMO.

Really curious why you think that. What did LA do that was so impressive?

It's not necessarily what they did it's how they did it. Tons of pride, three all-stars holding tight to their egos and they were going to do whatever it took to win. They were embarrassed that they lost game one at home with Rudy out. They think they are the Clippers of two years ago and we are the Jazz of two years ago and honestly I don't see a lot of respect towards us. I thought we played with a ton of heart last night and of any game so far this season last night gave me reason to believe that we are ready for playoff basketball.

The rim-protection last night was abysmal. If this is what Favors looks like at "100%", then I'm done with him.

I want to elaborate on this because I don't have an axe to grind with Favors and think he's a nice player. But really, if this is him at 100% and he's struggling with speed playing CENTER, then what is the upside to playing him next to Gobert?

I just find it extremely disappointing. Some guys are relative nonfactors in the season yet create a very strong presence in the postseason. Guys like Austin Croshere, Dellavadova, and even Robert Horry to a certain extent and many more marginal season guys excel in the postseason. Playoff basketball is different than season ball in so many ways.

With all we have hanging in the balance (Hill, Hayward contracts and Burks, Favors futures), why wouldnt we play AB, Lyles and Exum? Last night was a night perfect for testing out guys with zero playoff experience. For all we know, Lyles might have hit that extra gear he hit with Kentucky in that March Madness run. Or Exum emerges as an extremely valuable piece to our puzzle.

Because @clowns like Locke keep preaching analytics.

Meanwhile we have a team of jumpshooters. Why not let Exum and Burks create. We are lucky the Clippers dont take advantage of any of their strengths against us.
