Game 6: Close it out -- Thunder @ Jazz 4/27/2018 8:30 pm MST

stay out of foul trouble, get Adams and or Westbrook in foul trouble. ATTACK THE HOOP, draw fouls.
Staying out of foul trouble is the biggest key. I guarantee we win game 5 if Rudy had been able to stay on the court.

How the hell did Rudy and Favors each have 5 fouls while Adams had 0?

Absolute ban on picking up that early, silly foul just to prevent an open bucket for Rudy, Donovan and Ricky, and perhaps Derrick.
 
I wonder if we see Neto tonight... Dante has been a bit hyper. I like that Dante and think he can get to the basket but he has been sped up and can't shoot.

The officiating crew calls a lot of fouls (per Locke) so having Dante might be good, cuz he can get penetration and Felton has basically been tackling him.

Hmmmm... subplot.
 
Game of the season, obviously. I love that the Jazz have put themselves in the position to close this out. Now lets see if they can take that step as a young, unheralded team and do it. I think Mitchell is ready to step up on the bigger stage and duel with Westbrook if he has to.

A very good question. Dante hasn't played much this series. After the first game when he had success, they started to back off him 10 feet when he catches the ball. For the series 14 of his 16 field goal attempts have been at the rim. The other two missed 3PT shots. So I expect them to keep playing him against the drive, backing off him and going under every screen.
 
I predict an OKC meltdown..., DM goes for 30+

And ether one of Royce, Dante, Raul or AB goes off for 5 maybe 7 points!

He has attacked which I like but it hasn’t been measured... just kinda haphazard. I’d like him to get us into our stuff earlier and attack when the ball swings to the 45.
