NBA play in tournament thread

So a jazz sweep?

Jazz sweep Warriors or Grizzlies.

Lakers will sweep the Suns.

Lakers actually got their best draw. Inexperienced SUns team, then a Nuggets team without Murray, or a Blazers team that LeBron owns.

Best believe the Lakers will get the favorable whistle too as they got tonight. Phoenix has no idea what they are in for. Booker will get 2 fouls within the first 5 minutes on Sunday.

Steph Curry is too good to allow a jazz quick series win. Caruso may look like Elmer Fudd but he made a lot of big plays including knocking the ball off Curry's leg down the stretch. Jazz need to have plays like that defensively if they face GSW.

Always loved Caruso. It way amazing the intensity from both teams especially on defense. I hope the team watched and has another gear ready. We are going to need all those little things.

I think the Lakers are dangerous so I'm good with them winning.

I am an irrational Marc Gasol homer at this stage but they can pull that card out anytime and totally change their offense.

In a 7 game series, I think I prefer the warriors vs Memphis. I know that steph is steph, but hear me out.

Rudy beats anything the warriors throw at us. Memphis' Jackson isn't a cake walk.

The warriors guard well, but Green is their enforcer. Memphis has 3 enforcers and plenty of toughness. Brooks, Allen, Valenciunus, and Bane are all pesky at the least. Those players make up for talent by being physical and those knocks add up. I think the warriors don't have their hands on us nearly as much.

Throughout the game tonight I kept trying to picture matches and the Lakers bench and supporting cast is just better than the warriors bench.

Go Jazz!

This....is why I did not want to play the Lakers.

Yeah there is absolutely huge financial incentive for the league to prioritize a Lakers Cinderella story to repeat. Wouldn't surprise me to see them get pretty egregious with the officiating in the Lakers favor.

Just thought of this. Kinda don't love the draymond cheap shot injury risk tbo.

Anyone that believes gsw or the grizzlies can come close to or beat the Jazz in a 7 game series are off their rockers. The Lakers just guaranteed us a trip to at least the western conference finals. I think we're going to win it all this year though.

I'm guessing the Jazz have a 65% chance of facing the Warriors and a 35% chance of facing the Grizzlies.

GSW doesn’t have a chance against us but don’t count out the Clippers they are very good defensively and they have kawhi

if we don't get past GS or Memphis we should blow up this team. Including the coaching staff.

Rudy owns Valanciunas. There was a tweet the last time we played the Grizzlies showing his stat lines and said try to pick out the game he played against Gobert. It was quite funny actually.

Hard to agree with you when JV had his fair share of monster games vs Rudy and Jazz.... In 19 games vs Jazz he played he outplayed Rudy in 8 games, 5 games they were basically even and in 6 games Rudy outplayed JV. So no, Rudy does not own JV. ...Those games JV had vs Jazz with 28pts, 14reb, 4 blks, 27pts, 7reb, 2blk, 22pts, 17reb,3 blk, 21pts, 14reb, 3blk, 14pts, 18reb, 2blk are perfects example of him more than capable of scoring vs Rudy.
Now the fact that Jazz owns Memphis is nobody arguing.

That 3 by LeBron though

I loved Steph’s reaction

 

[Avery]

Lebron is such a drama queen. Dude acted like he got shot on the disputed call last night and is shooting free throws three minutes later.

Strategically, totally get it as selling a flagrant gives them more opportunities in a close game. But man, he's a crisis actor for the modern day NBA of being soft AF.

CP3 is going to destroy Schroeder. Suns will make them pay for having to bring in Wesley Mathews to cover for him.

Schroeder was unusually bad. Out of rhythm. He normally guards Steph well.

Great moment
