2016-17 NBA PLAYOFFS THREAD

I don't know if they can get rid of him, but I don't know how the thunder can keep Kanter. At least the jazz got something out of him, they might have to just eat Alec.
 
Would've loved to see a Jazz Houston play-off series. Or Houston v. GSW.

I will probably not watch the spurs-Houston series, nor the spurs warriors.
 
Locked on Jazz 04/20/17:

The Jazz are shooting the 3 really well in this series. 41% at 22 attempts per game

Jazz are only getting 12.5% of all offensive rebounds. Playoff avg if 24%

Overall rebounding is 45.9% Second lowest in the playoffs (Boston is the worst)

Low #s of 3s, low second chance points and need to increase FT #s

Jazz are 12-37 midrange, 32.7%FG

Good at the % rim and good % on 3s taken

Jazz are 5th best in NBA where pick n roll ball handler gets the shot. Clips are the #2 in defending that

Effective FG% is down

Clippers pick n roll is doing even worse than Utah. So the Jazz are defending this even better

Catch and shoot Jazz are on "fire" 15-27 2nd best in the playoffs. But only 16.8% of our shots come from this. Jazz should increase this.

If the Jazz get caught into ISO they are out performing v. regular season. The % of our plays here are high and the finishing rate is high. he worries that the Jazz will not maintain this.

Shot clock - Jazz take a bunch of late shot clock FGs.

Talks about the Clips have been unable to maintain a high tempo and push all game. Will the altitude in Utah make this even harder for the Clips.

18.5 catch and shoot attempts per game to 12. Mentions the low penetration game is hurting the kick out catch and shoot opportunities
 
Can my buddy bring his Mophie External Battery Charger into the stadium for game 3? He just doesn't want his phone to die because he wants to take a lot of pics/video.
 
Oh my, I just watched some of the Houston highlights. Enes Kanter brutalized by Harden.

Terrible draft by the jazz, one guy doesn't dress for a playoff game, and the other guy's team might have been better off if he hadn't.

He is on the way out of the rotation (completely).

Interesting thing was, he had 3 blocks in a handful of minutes. He is capable of defensive plays, but his positioning is woeful. And for a guy with such agile footwork in the post, he lumbers so badly on defense. Surely it remains somewhat attitudinal?
 
Damn, I really thought he would be a lot more efficient against the Rockets.


He was 10/19. Slowly got a little gassed (and desperate) over the journey.

Hard to blame him. Oladipo is sucking and no one can hit a jumper (McDermott hit a couple this game).

3:1 TO ratio and +11 ... better than Harden's 1:1 and +2. But yeah, Harden 35 points on 17 shots.

Yeah, it's rough. I told people Oladipo was just an overpaid version of Dion Waiters.

I'm pretty sure that'd be okay but I'm not 100%. If not they will check it.

Last game I went to I had a backpack. I've always been able to take my backpack to my seat, but this time they told me I had to check it. Then I see several other people who had a backpack at their seat.

Maybe it was because I had started drinking before the game. The staff at the arena reminds me of the people who run the voting stations on election day, which here in Utah means LDS senior citizens.

I've taken my small phone charger battery in to 2 or 3 games this season. Not sure if they'll be more strict for playoffs, but I haven't ever been questioned on it. I put it in the little bowl thing when I go through the metal detectors and they let me on through.
 
Nate McMillian is doing the worst coaching performance I've ever seen. Tyrone Corbin looks like Popovich in comparison.

After watching the Pacer game. I have no worries that Hayward would want to play there with McMillian. He's not a good coach. Not at all.
