Official Round 1 Predictions: Jazz-V-Thunder

Guys.

Guys.

Sit down.

The Jazz could possibly lose game 5.

I'm feeling a situation like the Golden State game Followed by the final regular season against the Trail Blazers. Jazz were killing it, on a winning streak and they kicked the **** out of GSW. They were on an emotional high. Everything was going right.

They came into Portland ready to close it out and get home court advantage for the first round. They were a little too pumped. They pressed. The other team was hitting shots, hard shots. The Jazz went cold shooting the ball. The game got away and the Jazz lost.

THE JAZZ HAVE NOT WON THIS SERIES YET!

They will. They very well might do it in 5 games. But they also might not.

Don't hate me for saying it, but they might come back to earth a little in game 5.

Agree here. Every few games, superstar talents become unguardable. No matter what you do or what shots they take, the ball goes in the hoop. I'm thinking tonight is one of those nights for George. While I would be happy with a win tonight, my gut still says we take it in game 6.
 
Hey man, I want to know that I’m sincere about the fact that I’m not crying. In fact, I’m having a good time with it.

I’m not gonna lie though, I’m having a hard time understanding your angle. Are you going for message board tough guy? Resident smart ***? Are you angling for intellectual superiority?? Or even worse, are you actually being serious?

Whatever your motivation, I’m enjoying our back and forth and I’m committed to working together to make it better. Maybe in the future we can go to one of those Jazzfanz get togethers and meet face-to-face. I think that would really help our chemistry and hopefully help get you to a point where I don’t have to carry these exchanges.

Either way, big night tonight. Let’s go Jazz!
 
Jazz in 6.

OKC isn't the best 3 point shooting team around. I think that that will play into Utah's hands as they funnel every drive to Rudy and force the Thunder to take contested jumpers when they can't drive to the rim. The rebounding battle will be critical to the series. As long as the Jazz can keep Adams off of the glass and limit OKC to one shot per possession they should get plenty of stops because they are the best defense in the NBA. Westbrook will get his. No question. Just like CP3 and Blake did in the 1st round last year. But I think the Jazz will do a good job limiting everyone else. I expect the depth and defense of the Jazz to prevail.

Yep. Nailed it.
