Utah Jazz 2018-19 Championship Bus CHOO CHOO

[RRJazz]

1They badly need to win a playoff series in order to sell progress. If they lose to GS nobody complains.
2They may be terrorized by OKC: Westbrook, PG13, Adams, etc. 0-4 this season. Deep and healthy.
3They probably see Utah as an easier opponent: Lillard can dominate us, Don is still a sophomore, Gobert is limited offensively, the roster looks pretty injured, etc. (according to them. Boy, are they wrong).

Make it happen!! Chip on our shoulder if they choose us.

A bit surprised that POR would do that. Still concerned that SAC will either ball out to send a message or die with a whimper.

Either way, it’s the playoffs. You are going to have to face the elite at some point or another and there’s no bonuses or extra draft picks for getting through another round.

Watch the Blazers go out and win anyway.

Here’s why I would prefer not playing HOU in round one. I would rather not replace my remote.

I don't think there is a chance for an accidental win. Either their coach wants the Jazz and will do whatever it takes to lose (even literally telling his players), or he wants OKC and will play the best available the entire game. Their best available can perfectly beat the Kings.

For instance, Nuggets @ Blazers: Jokic, Millsap, and Murray? rested. Starters were beating the Blazers late in the game, so their coach just sat them all and sent out the end of the bench. Mission accomplished.

I just can't bear to have to watch Harden for a series. It would be great if Portland throws this one.

 

[enchilada_style]

Well I think its a positive they are not sitting Enes. Put that loser in pick n roll situations all night with Fox please.

 

[yamers]

i guess portland would rather face the jazz than okc? Understandable since they got swept by the thunder, but the odd thing ks why would they rather face the warriors than the rockets/nuggets. Only explanation I have is that they are worried about their center situation with Kanter whose an absolute ******** on defense, hed get harden switched and destroyed.

 

[Miggs]

Portland with a big eff you to Denver... and kinda to us no? like if they are throwing this game they are picking us over OKC.

That’s what I thought too.

 

[Alfalfa]

They can send us all the f yous they want as long as we get to play them in the first round.

 

[Miggs]

I’m seeing Anfernee ****ing Simons listed as the starting point guard tonight for Portland.

The Kings better ****ing beat them.

I don't understand how he is officiated. It's one of the NBA mysteries I can't solve.
