Pfthfthfthfth. I contribute to a couple of SEC boards. You wanna see homerism? I'm just not going to fear a matchup just because my team might not win. The Thunder haven't shown that they can beat the Jazz. The score differential has increased with every game, favoring Utah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utenation Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Utah looking great so far. Up 15 at the half. OKC has no answers for our defense. Time to finish these guys off. Have to keep the foot on the pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glduck Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 utah was such an easy team to hate in the 90s, but this team is easy to root for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utenation Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Huge run by OKC. Gobert with his 5th foul. Not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mano Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Tied going into the 4th, OKC with a lot of momentum and Rudy on the bench with 5 fouls. Hoping the Thunder run out of gas, but not looking good for Jazz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the first time the Warriors made the playoffs with our current group and we were up 15 points in SA with 4 minutes left. Then, the Spurs hit a bunch of 3's and our guys stopped doing the things that were working and panicked. I saw the exact same thing happen to Utah last night. Rubio and Mitchell were pretty awful down the stretch. Game 6 is a must win for Utah or they will lose game 7 in OKC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Looks like Westbrook made good on his pledge to shut down Rubio. Respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need the kill instinct. They need it Friday or they're done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think OKC fights for their life tomorrow and pulls off a close win. Utah finishes them off in game 6 in SLC. Utah will lose to Houston in 6 games. This season is a win/win considering the loss of Hayward, Hill and others. Donovan is already a living god in Utah and hes so fun to watch. Its been a fun year. Boy, it sucks being right.

You said Utah would get blown out in game 5. The ending was close but lets be honest, giving up a 25 point lead and win by 7 or 8 is pretty much an ass kicking in the 4th quarter. I also agree youth played a factor in game 5 but the best defender in the league in foul trouble most of the second half was a huge factor. Overall I think you nailed it.

Yeah, I didn’t nail it perfectly but almost. i will say the Jazz were very fortunate that Paul George wasn’t awarded 3 free-throws on that final shot. There was clearly contact. Mitchell is truly amazing. He gets better by the day and is an obvious superstar in the making. I still believe he is better than Simmons. I’d like to see Simmons win with this Utah team. I don’t think he would have nearly the impact as he is surrounded by shooters and scorers. Mitchell gets doubled almost every possession. Mitchell consistently made PG look bad on defense and he is an elite defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were plenty of bad or no calls against the Jazz in the series so it probably evened out in the end. Houston is a horrible matchup for Utah. I see a couple of wins in SLC but Houston should doninate. Everyone knew from day one that it would be Houston/GS at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll definitely be a challenge for Utah, but I think the Jazz are also a challenge for Houston. I don't think the Jazz have enough to take down the Rox, but it will be a fun series.

utenation Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Gee whiz... Remember when GS was getting their ass kicked the second half off the season. Lol. Looked like Kerr was asleep on the bench. All the late season “injuries”. All the talking heads saying “they’re in trouble”.. Bunch of sandbagging bastards. Bet NO wishes they were going to Portland again.

glduck Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 that pelicans/warriors game should be stricken from the record. it was well into the 4th quarter and i still found myself getting confused that the home team was in grey and the road team was wearing their whites.
