Utah Jazz or LA Clippers: Who is the 2nd-best team in the West? | The Jump

Your surprised by this? I didn’t need to click on the video to know who they’d pick. And I wouldn’t blame them for picking the Clippers. And I’m not sure we match up well with them at all.

We match up well enough to beat them, obviously.

Once. But in a 7-game series? I don't know about that.

So of course the two "experts" pick the Clippers. I am not afraid of the Clippers the Jazz match well with them. It will be a battle but not something the Jazz cannot accomplish. Seeding will determine who has best shot at advancing.

This felt like they wanted to talk about the Clippers win streak, but one of their producers mentioned that the Jazz win streak was actually 1 game longer - so I guess we have to include the Jazz somehow in our Clippers talk.

The Clippers rely on their two stars and one of them is not always reliable. The Jazz overall depth is better. We have beaten them in the recent past. I know that does not determine the future but it does give the belief that they can win against them. Whereas with the Lakers I see doubt get into the head of the Jazz.

I didn't even think of contending being a possibility until Kerr said it. Now, I'm wondering.

Also, Rachel Nichols is still just so, so hot.

You talking about the sports journalist of the actress? Sports journalist, meh. Actress, yes please.

Defensively we are weak at the 3@4 spots. They have both Leonard and George. We really have no one to match up vs Leonard and George would give us fits as well

The mantra "live by the 3, die by the 3" has generally applied to teams that have 3-4 three point shooters in the rotation.

The Jazz have seven 3 point shooters in the 9 man rotation. I don't think there is a night cold enough to squelch that fire.

The 2021 Jazz are the first "live by the 3, or by the 3" team ever. This is unstoppable.

I 'm not sure man hahaha, mmm, tonight counts?

Hopefully we turn it around after halftime

Haha, I thought of this quote as well after the poor shooting. Gameface either jinxed us or is about to show us why he's right in the second half!

BOOM!

Based on the only stat that matters, Utah has the better record so...

The answer is Utah.
