I ****ING LOVE THIS WEAKJOINT, WEKAMUSLED, WEAKTOED, WEAKSTOMACH, WEAKBONED, WEAK-IT-BAND, but BIG-BALLED TEAM OF OURS! I LOVE IT! Their bodies might be doing everything possible to screw this season up, but the guys are ****ing fighting it through. What a bunch of BALLERS! It's like there is a rule somewhere in the NBA books that the Jazz shall never play fullstrength and they keep going out there and plowing through. I LOVE IT!

I suspect that if we actually had a complete, healthy roster for a week, we would be disappointed by the lack of floor chemistry.
 
You wouldn't ever catch Quin making an open statement about a player like the OKC coach did with kanter cuz Quin perpetually talks out the side of his mouth to mask his words...would drive me nuts to talk like that all the time, that dude is driven! I never like Corbin, so glad we signed Quin tho I think Malone wanted an interview is sore about it.

Anyone notice Quin save his game winner for the 4th quarter? It seemed like we were trying to contain CP3 the normal way we've been playing so far, with the bigs dropping and trying to deny the lob/penetration. CP3 did his damage in the first 3 quarters and then Quin took Gobert out at the 8 minute mark and switched the coverage of the CP3 PnR, with Favors showing hard on the screen and trapping and forcing the pass. CP3 did nothing for the remainder of the quarter. Great job by Faves containing on the show and trap, great job of the rest of the team containing the other 4 LAC players.

I don't know if this was by design and Quin saved it for the last quarter or if he did an in-game adjustment - either way he deserves props. Quin is killing Doc in this matchup so far. The only reason this is still a series is Gobert's injury and CP3s amazing play.

I think they did it a little in the first half to test, but that was good. Without Griffin we need to force other clips to make plays.

CP3 also looked a little gassed and that is big... even if he scores a lot during the game make him work his *** off for it.

Beating a skeletal horse but Kanter would be great to have right now IMO. Not only would he be getting playing time, the Jazz could actually use his rebounding and low post presence. His defense may be a liability but there are still minutes to be had.

Both sides messed up

He would be worthless in this series. The Clippers are already hurting the Jazz in the paint. Putting Kanter in there is an open invitation to free layups. That is why he does not play for OKC.

I like the chess match going on in the series. If we trap the pick and roll like we did in the 4th qtr, that might force the Clips to put another player on the floor who can initiate and make a play. Normally that would be Blake, but he's out. So probably it's Felton or Austin Rivers. That becomes one more player we can attack on offense.

So it could become Hill/Ingles/Hayward/Johnson/Gobert vs. Paul/Felton/Redick/Moute/DAJ, and the Jazz have two guys that Hayward and Joe Johnson can go to work on. Jazz also have a size advantage at every position except the 4.

Joe Johnson is bigger than Moute. So with those lineups the Jazz have a size advantage at every position.

this is like worthless propaganda.....OKC is going back to Houston and will be put out of their misery. In a series they needed to out score Houston ,their idiot coach thought they could win by defense and sat down their 2nd best scorer down .Hard to blame Kanter for them going fishing soon.

What a game, this team has some guts! For a team "with no playoff experience" we've looked locked in more often than not over the 4 games, adversity has seemed to fuel us this year.

Few things;

Welcome back Rudy! Dude is truly the HEART and SOUL of this team.

Well done D.Favs, great game! Close to becoming jazz fans new pin cushion he really stepped up, got going early offensively and played good D.

Joe Ingles just knows how to play basketball and Joe Johnson just gets BUCKETS!

Nice to see Exum, thought he played great D and it looked like he really wanted the ball, seemed comfortable in the moment. I still can't understand why he is buried on the bench behind Mack and Neto, especially in the playoffs where it is common practice to be a little more physical, Dante might not get called for all of the tick tack fouls we usually see. Why I am on the topic, WTF was Mack doing reaching in on Paul for like 5 seconds straight?? Really illustrates his bball IQ right there imo. SO DUMB!

Great job by Coach Q tonight. Perfect! With so much depth I think its important to throw different looks at CP3. Really like how he let Joe run the offense for periods.

Jazz bear doesn't **** around. That shot on the Clippers fan at Qtr time was brutal! Set up or not that would have really hurt haha.


Man, I LOVE THIS TEAM!

Sure, Dante played some good D, but he also got lost once or twice in rotations and left a shooter wide open.
 
For those who missed the game, here's a quick video recap of the last 5 minutes.

This was also just the 2nd time all series we went on a dominant scoring run in a short amount of time. 1st time was the 1st quarter of game 3. I think the scoring barrage just made the pressure to high on Paul instead of how it has been in the past 3 games where 4th quarter scoring by the Jazz was sporadic.
 
I think one of my favorite players happened late in the 4th. JJ catches the ball near the elbow and he proceeds to back down his defender. He waits and waits, a second defender comes over and he throws a rifle pass to Ingles deep in the corner and he makes a 3! **** was legit, yo.
