I want the Spurs. I just dont want to live through watching Harden w/ how the refs call the screens now.
Don't worry. It's happening:

Naw...I'm rooting for the Rockets because they'll be an easier matchup for us after we beat Golden State and get to the Western Conference Finals.
I think Spurs are the easier matchup by far. Well maybe not by far, but the Spurs looked shaky against the Grizzlies.

That pretty much made my day!
I love how socially awkward Hayward is in this as usual. I love that Favors shakes hands instead of high fives like everyone else. I love that Exum looks like he is doing a cheezy acting job of over explaining something as he walks like he is in a commercial.

Wow. That is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.
Don't remember the Timberpups ever making a conference final...? Ah- checked and yes, even the Puppies have been to the conference finals (2003/4) when Garnett and scraps made it.
Ummm game 1 thread???

Haha. Can you believe, having watched the series that just ended, that at the deadline the Clippers did not think that any combination of Redick, Rivers, and Crawford was worth Carmelo?
Melo may be all sorts of things, including an insufferable douche[SUP]1[/SUP], but I'm sure the Jazz would've had more trouble guarding him than any of the above three. To say nothing about the fact that Melo might have actually been able to do more than just wave Jesus Joe through.

Maybe, but then they would have to give major minutes to Wes Johnson or Alan Anderson

The way Redick played, that might have been a blessing in disguise. He was awful offensively and goodness knows he can't defend anyone with those T-Rex arms.
I dont know why I read ESPN articles sometimes they are very bad. Their 5 on 5 articles are very very bad takes. Those guys just cater to big market responses that make no sense.
This article today had this bit
Cool no mention of all the Jazz starters missing in those games... So lame.
Literally nothing of use in this article. It just said Steph played really well last round and Hayward sucks against the Ws. That is their inside the watch up numbers article.

What Houston is doing to SAS is probably the worst case scenario that could happen to the Jazz.

Except in this scenario, Utah would be Houston and SA would be GS.
So this our best case scenario.
I'll admit it doesn't look good for the Jazz. A hobbled Rudy and Derrick, our supposed advantage, will not cut it against this stupid super team. Everyone is counting them out. 5 games maybe 6. Could easily be a sweep. I know the Jazz are listening and it's probably pissing them off.
I've counted this team out so many times. Expecting to lose games and watch this team grind the **** out the opponent to a decisive win. Honestly, the Jazz being able to slow this GS team really wouldn't surprise me. Neither would a GS blow out win. All I know is this team ****ing fights and, if their not too injured at this point, who knows how good they are. This is only the 17th game we've seen this version of the team.
I have no ****ing idea what will happen this series.
;tldr
