Ya then KD gets into with a fan and then with gobert.
Wtf dude
Well, it was a fun season while it lasted. I mean, they might pull it out on Monday, but I wonder if this game just did them in.
This game is a microcosm of why I want anyone to beat the Warriors. Getting Durant has made this playoffs awful. This might be a competitive series without him, and it's not like the Warriors weren't a great team before they had them. I don't think it'll happen, but I'll be rooting for the Spurs and Cavs massively coming up.

Quin went too long with Mack
Ingles is a waste this series he is just making stupid fouls
Hayward put up numbers but they dont mean anything because is weak minded and disappears all the time
Our crowd is weak where is an OKC chant or Westbrook chant
The warriors are treating us like bi@$&es slapping us and hitting us and we are like im sorry i got in your way
We didnt take advantage of Green when he went mental basket case

Hayward isnt superstar if likes of Durant and Lebron are superstars. Hayward is superstar if they are megastar or godlystar...
In all 3 games they were playing lower standards of theirs. And we werent doing really bad. And yet they got 3 wins in double digits. It is quite an illusion to say if we were healthy...
They are just way better and we dont have any firepower to match theirs. With Hill healthy and everyone playing their best, we could grab 1 win. Now its like a sweep.
It's time to take a reality check. We aren't as deep and awesome and we hyped ourselves up to be.
And our team is full of injury prone inconsistent players like Burks, Hood, Hill, Favors. At least Hayward and Gobert have been healthy.
My observations from last nights game:
THe positives: Rudy and Hayward showed they belong in this type of game. The overall team defense was very good. The team played really hard. I thought Mack did a decent job.
The reality: Jazz do not have enough shot makers. Guys who can break down other players. Jazz team athleticism is below average and really showed last night with their inability to get the loose balls. Diaw and JJ especially looked like they were wearing cement shoes. Favors looked like a sixty year old man. Warriors are the measuring stick so last night showed how far the Jazz need to improve offensively to win against the best team in basketball. Defensively, the Jazz are fine but unless they get more guys who can make shots they are going to struggle to beat the top teams in the playoffs.
The future: Jazz should not throw big money at Hill or Favors due to injuries issues. Favors looks like an old man out there. Yea I know he is hurt but is his issue really going to get better. Pretty much everyone is expendable except Gobert and Hayward. The Jazz MUST keep Hayward. If they lose him it will set the franchise back 5 years. Jazz need another legitimate all-star. I would love it if the Jazz could either trade for Butler or convince Paul George to sign with us. Yea I know it isn't happening but one can dream.
The draft should target players who are tough minded, athletic players. THe Jazz need to really hit a home run with one of their picks. Everyone one on the roster is expendable except for Hayward and Gobert. It is time to get more vets who are not passed their primes to boaster our roster. This team is not as deep as we would like to think it is especially with our injury-prone players.
Favors and Burks- Can they return to the players they were? I am not that confident they can.
Exum seems to be in Quinn's doghouse. Does he have the mental ability to play in the NBA? Right now I have my doubts that he will ever become the alpha dog we need. I have not given up completely on him yet but this is a big off season for him. I am not against trading him but think he has little value to do so. I"ll give him one more year but would put him in a package if it would help us get an all-star.
Hill, again I am concerned about his toe. Is this going to be a chronic injury. There is no way I give him a big contract. I would like to re-sign him at a reasonable price with limited years.
Hood- his inconsistency makes me ok with trading him. I know he has some ability to make shots and Jazz need shot makers but his lack of mental toughness drives me crazy. I don't really feel he knows he can be really good. His history even in college shows that when he is hot he can be an all-star level player but when he can't make shots then he is pretty useless. I still want to keep him unless we can package him to get some one like Butler. He has become more tradable after watching him in the playoffs.
Now that the Jazz have had some playoff experience, it is time to redo the roster to take it to the next level. There are going to be some tough decisions this summer but for me they have become obvious that they need to be made. I am excited about the future but it is obvious that changes need to be made in order to move up to the next level.

If I am DL I'm sacking Q's ***.
I am jack of this BS.
Mack plays 37 minutes!! He shoots 3/11 and has 1.67 A/T ratio and is a +6. Now based on everything I hear from many on this forum - the shooting number is bad, the assist number not much better and the +/- meaningless.
Dante is yanked after his 3 minutes. Lyles DNPCD AGAIN.
Quin is basically saying, DL you fuc*ed up our last two lottery picks.
If I am DL I can see what is going on. A young coach living for today.
How the hell does Hood fly under the radar?
How does Mack who is statistically one of the worst defensive pg in the NBA allowed to dominate those minutes?
If Q can't see that there is no championship through the Hill/Mack path - then he MUST be fired.
Q has headfu**ed Dante all the way from SLC to Melbourne and back again like a motherfu**ing boomerang.
Dante is a respectful kid who wants to get better, but knows only too well the consequences of his mistakes.
If Q doesn't believe that Dante is going to be good - I hope he tells DL straight up and then something can be done.
Obviously the Jazz think they have the next Pop in Q, so it's X who will be gone.
What a friggin joke!

And before anyone tells me how great Mack was...
- In the first 3 minutes he let Curry cut back door for a layup (after contesting his first shot granted)
- and then fouled Klay
- then a TO passing to Ingles
Seems like he should have been yanked to me - Dante style!

X should learn to play semi-dirty like Curry. Then the refs might respect him.
Go back and have a look at the 1:30 mark left in Q1. Curry is pissed that he didn't blow by X for a layup so he shoves him massively in the back to create space.
The crowd went nuts. Refs saw nothing. A bit like Q when watching Mack fu** up.

Come on, Nate! I thought you were a basketball (Jazz) purist! GS is everything good about the NBA these days! They AVERAGE 30 assists! That's old time Jazz basketball...and then some! They "trust" each other out there and don't care who shoots or who scores! And there shooting percentage, forced shots and 3 point launching aside, is a joy to behold! EVERYBODY in the NBA is overmatched against this GS squad. They will not lose to the Cav's this year, that's for sure! Shouldn't have lost last year! The Jazz can learn something for this GS team, especially when it comes to being a "professional" Gobert, as young and talented as he is, needs to stop hanging on the rim every time he dunks the ball....and STOP missing free throws! GS will go 4,4,4 on there way to this years Championship, I know it, you know it and your grandmomma knows it! And its a pleasure to watch them do it!

No offense taken, it was sub forum from a 49ers board that I've been part of for over 10 years. You know, San Francisco/Oakland area so many of them are dubs fans? I've communicated with these guys for many years.
Despite your opinion, I like hearing that this team is gaining a lot of respect around the league. These guys offered very mature, high basketball IQ insight unlike some dude here that spent the ENTIRE game talking about some Pokemon figure offering little to nothing but a slight annoyance of caps.
