GAME 1: Little Ricky's journey to the playoffs -- Jazz @ Thunder 4/15/18 4:30 pm MST

Unfortunately, I think we're in deep ****.

The Thunder aren't going to shoot that well for seven games, Paul George in particular, but we are outmanned in this series. I think we'll need to make a few tactical adjustments on both ends and play exceptionally well to have a chance. Even if the shots aren't going down for the Thunder, they are the physically superior team. Their length and physicality lets them really take us out of our stuff. Inlges was a ghost in PnR, Favors was largely neutralized around the rim, and Rubio completely sucked.

Proud of Donovan, though. Kid's a player.
 
There are really only two ways to measure toughness in the NBA:
1. Ability to fight through (mental) adversity
2. Ability to play through injury

Gobert has lead a team back into the playoffs mainly on the back of his play and he has come back from injury multiple times and played at less than 100%

Adams isnt tougher. He is a stronger player. That's it.
 
Mitchell had a phenomenal first playoff game. 27 and 10? That's rare for a rookie. And he played through an injury at the end, too. Proud of him. Hope it's a minor injury. Would love to see us steal game 2.
 
Honestly looking at the box score thunder players did what I thought they would except George shooting out of his mind. That was the only difference in this game. Melo was meh. Westbrook was good but inefficient.
