“We’re gonna win this game and you’re gonna go off.”

-Quin to Donovan at the end of first half.

Love that comment surfacing. Quin always plays really low key with any public comments, but then you hear him making statements like that off the record, just great.

A.) Joe Ingles is ******* amazing. Must see TV. Even in postgame interviews.

B.) Quin is a Jedi Master. Forget about getting into the collective OKC Thunder’s heads in this series. He got into his Rookie Superstar’s Head at the exact moment he needed him to.

C.) Love Spida’s answer about fans.

D.) Some GREAT frontcourt in the playoffs this year. Gobert/Favors, Davis/Mirotic, Embiid/Saric/Simmons. One story worth keeping an eye on.

E.) Joe Ingles is ******* amazing.

Just attacking the players personally, really stupid stuff. I don't want to make this thread a bitchfest though, I deleted my post. And Westbrook is a disrespectful dude himself so he shouldn't talk.

Exactly... don’t do Ricky dirty and disrespectful as well as not answer questions in the pressers after because u don’t like it and make the reporters feel stupid.

He wears crazy stuff and peacocks around... that stuff makes u a target... then u act like u don’t care cuz u too cool to care.

Also, this game is a good reminder to all the people who say "Why doesnt Donovan play PG all the time?". Dude was gassed in the 4th quarter and our offense looked pretty poor for the most part outside of his amazing plays.

Mitchell guarded Westbrook or PG all game. That certainly will take a toll as well.

Have I mentioned lately how much I love this team?

Awesome defense by Rudy. No foul, went to the side with the hand up.

It’s a point of emphasis... sideways is not a foul. He shoulda just tried to you know shoot the shot. I’m glad they didn’t call it... the fooling refs stuff is a huge pet peeve for me.

It's become the norm in the NBA.

I loved that every time they cut to Quin being mic’ed up, he was preaching “Defense! Defense! Defense! If we play good defense everything else will work out.”

Made me so proud to be a Jazz fan.

Member when Donovan said see ya next year we ain't coming back? Then he backs up his trash talk. That's MJ like trash talk- walking the walk.

Also for all u that doubted the churro... the bathroom confessional at Best Buy is open from 10 AM to 9 PM... go confess and thou shalt be saved.

Theres a glory hole at best buy?

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

So sorry... Russ is so nice and accommodating to everyone... oh wait he’s a total ******* to the media and talks as much **** about guys as anyone.

Sorry not sorry!

Woah, White Chocolate liked this. Is white chocolate back?

Im glad that wasnt called, even if that was DM in place of PG Id have the same opinion. You gotta earn it and the refs made the right call letting the players decide the outcome of this game.

 

[Jazzta]

Watching the Thunder players all confused about the no call on Gobert and not fouling anyone for 10 seconds was quite comical.

Exactly. Yeah, it definitely could have been called, and has been in previous instances, but George would have been smarter to take an honest attempt at a shot rather than hope for a whistle. Especially at that point of the game. NBA refs are known to swallow the whistle during end of game situations.

Looking back over the season. . . I’m SO glad that Snyder played Donovan so many PG minutes running the offense this year. He managed to work through his issues early in the season so he could effectively run the offense in a playoff close-out game.

Little things over the past few months that are paying big dividends now. Legacies are built in the playoffs. . . I’d say that Spida Mitchell is off to a DAMN good start.

I can remember him blowing up against the Pelicans and then teams putting a lot more pressure on him and it messing his game up. Put him off rhythm. Not even a hint of that tonight. Cool as ice.
