I didnt see it, did the TNT crew give the Jazz any respect post-game? Or are they acting like we don't have a chance? I've gone from thinking we might lose this series even with Rudy to thinking we would get crushed without him to thinking we will win game three without him and possibly the series even if he doesn't come back. That was the best LA will play this whole series, IMO.

Really curious why you think that. What did LA do that was so impressive?

It's not necessarily what they did it's how they did it. Tons of pride, three all-stars holding tight to their egos and they were going to do whatever it took to win. They were embarrassed that they lost game one at home with Rudy out. They think they are the Clippers of two years ago and we are the Jazz of two years ago and honestly I don't see a lot of respect towards us. I thought we played with a ton of heart last night and of any game so far this season last night gave me reason to believe that we are ready for playoff basketball.

The rim-protection last night was abysmal. If this is what Favors looks like at "100%", then I'm done with him.

I want to elaborate on this because I don't have an axe to grind with Favors and think he's a nice player. But really, if this is him at 100% and he's struggling with speed playing CENTER, then what is the upside to playing him next to Gobert?

I just find it extremely disappointing. Some guys are relative nonfactors in the season yet create a very strong presence in the postseason. Guys like Austin Croshere, Dellavadova, and even Robert Horry to a certain extent and many more marginal season guys excel in the postseason. Playoff basketball is different than season ball in so many ways.

With all we have hanging in the balance (Hill, Hayward contracts and Burks, Favors futures), why wouldnt we play AB, Lyles and Exum? Last night was a night perfect for testing out guys with zero playoff experience. For all we know, Lyles might have hit that extra gear he hit with Kentucky in that March Madness run. Or Exum emerges as an extremely valuable piece to our puzzle.

Because @clowns like Locke keep preaching analytics.

Meanwhile we have a team of jumpshooters. Why not let Exum and Burks create. We are lucky the Clippers dont take advantage of any of their strengths against us.

Without Rudy, Exum, and Burks this team is boring to watch. I swear all these bricks I could see watching a church ball game. Analytics are ruining the game all these threes are not fun to watch. The biggest problem is we stopped developing anyone Quinn has gone to the ways of Corbin. So, next year is going to not be fun.

How bout giving the guy a little break. He has hardly played all season and has struggled with knee's and leg injuries. Hard to stay in shape when you have hurt legs. Especially in basketball shape. Add to that he probably didn't figure to get more than 15-20 minutes a night in this first series to try and get in game shape. For all of that he played decent.

Wonder what Exum is thinking ..seeing Mack go out there for the backup PG minutes and seeing Burks in street clothes because Neto is back at backup PG as well. His game is built on speed and uptempo and Jazz are slowing down even more cementing him at the end of the bench unlikely to see any playing time in these playoffs.If the Jazz get knocked out 1st round because Goberts injured and didn't heal in time does Exum wonder about playing with his best friend Ben Simmons where they can use a PG.That's got to look better than playing behind GHill and a couple career backups now and next year.

A: Burks is not fun to watch he's a ball hog.
B: Every ****ing player on the roster (except the injured ones) improved this season, both over the off season and during the season. Your high as a kite if you think they stopped developing anyone.

Wish they learn how to run some fastbreaks......young athletic center and young players and high altitude and they walk the ball upcourt

Burks is not a ballhog just because he doesnt pass everytime he slashes to the hoop doesnt mean he is a ball hog. ISO Joe is a ball hog which doesnt matter because he can score. The Jazz pass the ball way to much Ingles had like 4 TO trying to make the extra pass.

When the rest of our team just shoots jumpers we need slashers. We are seriously lucky the Clippers are dumb they dont take advantage of their superior players.

Who of our young guys has really develped? Quinn doesnt trust any of them. Mack is playing over Exum. Diaw is playing over Lyles. Burks who was a key piece of this team is out of the rotation is done.

Meanwhile, Gordon stiffled by Mbah a Moute is shutting him down. The defense is complete trash without Gobert. Clippers should just post up all of our bigs because without Rudy the inside cant defend.
