Utah Jazz 2018-19 Championship Bus CHOO CHOO

I like the matchup against Portland so much that I’m actually worried about it.

Lillard just pissed off about getting swept last year. Some dumb *** Kanter redemption side story, even though he’s the bad guy. Something...

But my eyes tell me we should be able to just completely overpower them. Unless everyone just went cold, and Mitchell was consistently bad in big moments. Which we have never really seen before.

He should've got mad after he was down 0-2 at home last playoffs. I'm not sure being mad matters.

Like I said, feels like a five-gamer. But no way I’m gonna let myself feel overconfident and set up for a huge letdown.

Even if Gobert was styling on Kanter at both ends all game I’d still be clutching my pearls anytime Lillard had the ball. Especially at our place, how much hate is he really gonna get? It will probably be the perfect mix of appreciation and loudness from the crowd, he’ll thrive on it.

Honestly we would just need Lillard and McCollum to not go off from 3 and I think we beat them.
If those two are cold from deep we beat them easy.
If they are average from deep then we beat them but it's difficult.
It they are hot from 3 then we are screwed.

Obviously that's over simplifying it but I do think how those two shoot from 3 is the biggest factor in the series.

What's McCollum's timeframe for a return?
Slowly but surely, it appears the talented shooting guard is trending towards a potential return. As Casey Holdahl of the team’s official website revealed, McCollum traveled with the team ahead of Friday’s game against the Denver Nuggets. Beyond that, he also told Holdahl that he took part in some 3-on-3 earlier in the week.

CJ McCollum’s Potential Return Timeline

It’s unknown how realistic McCollum’s return during the regular season is. Following Friday’s game against Denver, the Blazers will face them once again on Sunday back in Portland. From there, the team has just two games remaining before the playoffs begin. If McCollum sat through the rest of the regular season, it would give him more than one week of time to prepare.




That's all I could find. Seems kinda day to day and uncertain but from what I can gather it seems that he is done the the regular season but will be ready for the first game of the playoffs.

Hopefully he will be rusty

Call me satisfied if the Jazz go for a 50+ win season, gets out of the 1st round and at least give the current champs a bit of trouble.
No doubt.
We are easily the best team in the league without an all star. Sons a bitches
I'm still pretty salty about the Gobert snubbing

Agree with the two post above but come next season I think anything less than a WCF is a failure. It's time.
I won't think that getting to the second round next year and that's all as a failure but it would seem pretty meh. The West is tough. There will be a bunch of great teams to have to get through once again. Never know about injuries and whatnot too.

I have no problem with your thoughts of anything less than wcf being a failure though. I can see that side too. Hopefully we have an all star or two next year.

Caruso auditioning for a Jazz position? Has a very good game against Utah in a losing effort, then does the Jazz a huge favor by scoring 32 against the Clippers, all but handing the Jazz at least the #5 spot.
