Just what is says. Vote. How does this go down tonight. Simple, 2 choices. Pick one. Argue in the thread.
 
I’m guessing there will be two or three no votes from trolls
 
I voted win. I think relying on your stars to both score at the 40 point mark is an unreliable strategy. See the 2 wins, it took each player (PG and RW) to go off and score double their normal production. In the second win it took BOTH of them doing that. The odds are not in their favor, just from a statistical standpoint, on this point. The other point was both Favors and Gobert in foul trouble. The odds of that happening again are also slim. I think it will be a dog fight but I think we win this in the end.

Jazz in 6

GO JAZZ!!!!
 
We need solid performances from DM and Rudy as well as good games from at least 2 of the Favs, Ingles, Rubio, Crowder group. It wouldn't hurt if Royce hit a couple open threes tonight.

In one game anything can happen... if PG or Adams gets in foul trouble they are in a world of hurt. Same for us with DM and Rudy.
 
Jazz win - OKC hasn't played well in Utah for longer than 3 or 4 minute stretches at a time. It'll take a lot more than that.

Both games were not nearly as close as the score implied.

Like Game 1 & 5, either Westbook or PG will have to go unconscious for them to have a chance.

Shocked? Why? It’s entirely up to both team’s psychological state. And it’s not like you are playing the worst roster ever. They suck because their chemistry did not settle soon enough. They were considered tops before the start of the season. Gotta stay on your toes.
 
I think we have a better than 50% chance at winning this game... it’s like a 65/35 win prob for me. I think that flips if we go to game 7.

This game gonna be lit... going to see infinity war prior to the game... imma be on edge in a chair for like 6 straight hours. #endurance
 
Make Westbrook take 3's or drive into the paint -- no mid range jump shots which is his forte. Same for PG. But if Rudy is out, need to change this up and prevent them from getting into the paint.

Nooooo... This is literally the exact opposite of what we want. The Jazz have been feasting off forcing him into the mid-range. Last game is just something that can happen when you're dealing with superstars.

We want him in the midrange... can’t realoy draw a foul there and it’s a low value shot... if he hits 50% there it’s pretty great but doesn’t add up to shooting 35% or greater from three which is pretty average.

I don't understand why everybody thinks Westbrook is a good midrange shooter. He isn't, he just takes a lot.

Also how much of the Jazz have you watched this season? This is the exact opposite of the defensive strategy.

I've seen every game. I think Westbrook is better mid range than 3-pt, don't the stats bear this out? PG is a much better shooter, probably wrong to let him take 3's.
