Round 1 Game 2 Utah Jazz at L.A. Clippers 8:30pm MDT

[Stoked]

I feel like I'd normally pick the Clips considering we've already got the split, but I can't shake the feeling that LA already feels like their backs are against the wall and are gonna come out super tight while the Jazz come out relaxed (in a good way). I honestly feel like we leave LA up 2-0 and Friday night in Vivint is the last stand of the LA Clippers.

Yes! Thank you! About time the other believers stood up!!!

Jazz gonna play physical D and loose on O. The 3s begin to fall and CP3 pushes it and the Jazz shut down the rest of the team. Game over 2-0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kane Fitzgerald reffing tonight, isn't he the one that hates us?

SERIOUSLY!? Welp. Some backstory:

I've been saving this story for today's game thread.

My first ever Jazz game was at the Delta Center during the 2003-04 season. It was on December 5th, 2003 and we went as a present for my birthday later that month.

The starting line-up we rolled out that day?

PG - Raul Lopez
SG - DeShawn Stevenson
SF - Matt Harpring
PF - Andrei Kirilenko
C - Greg Ostertag

I remember riding on a train that took you to the arena. It was just me and my dad. We sat across from this old lady and she absolutely loved Ostertag. She wouldn't stop talking about him the whole ride.

We had really good seats. There were gme pamphlets on every seat that featured the one and only DeShawn Stevenson on the cover. I vividly remember the blimp going around the arena and dropping free tickets. That was so amazing to me as a kid.

We only allowed 67 points to the Clippers that night. Harpring led us to the win with 20 out of our 86 points. Now he is the team announcer coincidentally.

I still have the pamphlet along with my throwback purple jerseys of Kirilenko and Stevenson with the iconic mountains.

Here is the full box score from that game:

Good vibes only. I have a good feeling about tonight. I hope everyone is having a great day so far.

I want to see us demoralize them with a hailstorm of threes. This game is for Rudy. The pressure to return gets dialed back immensely if we can get this game.

I remember my first actual Jazz Game was a playoff game against the Clippers in 1992. We won. The only other real big thing I remember was actually seeing most of the Clipper players hanging out at the mall. I somehow assumed that NBA players did stuff much cooler than that. But, then I figured, "Well, they ARE the Clippers. . ."

Everyone (Jazz fans) on twitter is blowing up about Kane Fitzgerald. Sadly, it's going to be the Jazz vs Clippers and the refs tonight. We are going to lose out on calls tonight for sure. Kane straight hates us

That's what I've been thinking as well.

A couple more thoughts:
- Doc is already commenting about the off season, probably not a good sign for LA.
- Hayward and Hood both commented on how boring their two days off were. It might have been long enough for us to lose some momentum.

Anyone know who the officials are yet. Little worried about that. Not the group who reffed the Grizz Spurs game last night I hope
