Added to Calendar: 05-26-21

This is Playoff Don we are talking about here. The guy with the 3rd highest point total in a single game in playoff history. The guy who scored 38 in a close out game 6 against Westbrook and George.

He will lead us to the promise land. LFG!
He is also salty Don which is mostly good... I could tell in the regular season that he loves killing Brooks and wants to go at him. If his ankle is right then Brooks ain't a big deal... there is also the rust issue. Sometimes Don comes out of the gate and its like he never left... sometimes he takes a bit to get his rhythm. He should be mentally prepared... Bogie also had his scoring touch back in the second half so hopefully he can lift us up if there is a lull.
 
I'm honestly pretty nervous for this one. Donovan hasn't played in 5 and a half weeks and will likely have Dillon Brooks guarding him, I could see him having a really rough night. We have to find a way to cut down the turnovers. If we go down 0-2 in this series we're in trouble.
Yeah, I'm not expecting Don to come back and instantly be our Savior. However, I think his mere presence will inspire and motivate. He's a leader and generally pretty vociferous about what needs to get done, just like Lebron does to a large extent. Everyone will play better because of it. Gobert will be his dominant self on defense and offense, and stay out of foul trouble. Bogey will go into unconscious scoring mode two quarters earlier. Conley will be able to stay out of foul trouble and penetrate and dish. Clarkson, I feel like Clarkson will have a huge bounce back game tonight and open a big can of whoop a$$. Of course if Snyder starts calling Don's number every trip down court all bets are off.

If we don't match their intensity and counter their physicality then no matter what we are ****ed. They straight pushed our pansy-*** guys around last game. You want respect sometimes you have to take respect. Jazz better come out ready to eat their children.
 
I am nervous. We need a convincing win to regain the confidence and momentum. I hope Don is not going to force things if he's a bit rusty.

Will wear my “Jordan Clarkson, Flamethrower” t-shirt during tonight’s game. Have Gobert, Mitchell, and Jazz shirts should the situation demand it. But as an empiricist, I don’t believe those shirts influence anything but my internal subjective states.
 
Anyone in Utah and do Hulu live for Jazz games?
 
Do they black out local stuff?

National TV shouldn't be blocked out at all... I think you are good if it is on TNT or ESPN.
Actually maybe I'm totally wrong... I'm in sacramento so the Utah feed is blacked out on Direct TV... I don't think the Kings are ever on the national tv networks... so I guess I don't know.
 
I guess I’ll sign up. Not going to deal with hehe shutting down with 3 minutes to go.
Can probably get a free trial... they also might carry the local broadcast... I think if there is no local broadcast then the national TV feed should come through. This stuff is so damn dumb... doing the blackout thing likely makes them almost nothing.
