Man, if and when the Jazz become title contenders, I would kill for them to be officiated the same way OKC is.

The joke will be the Jazz will be a team of foul merchants

Fingers crossed Randle can be Finals MVP and he opts out for a max deal.

7 game series clearly

Bet the NBA is loving the fact that the entire discourse of this game online is SGA being a foul merchant. He really is awful to watch.

I think the series comes down to which role players make their open 3s

 

[KqWIN]

It’s a really tough matchup for MIN because they are a high TOV offense meeting a ridiculously good TOV forcing defense. They are going to trap Ant and Randle relentlessly and force a ton of TO’s.

I didn't watch, but MIN just lost by 26 in a game where they had a huge rest advantage and Randle put up 28. Why do you think they will win 3 games?

I'm definitely hoping MIN wins FWIW.

Becuase NAW/DDV/Reid were awful and they shouldnt be that awful again. Plus Edwards was pretty bad too.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Minnesota should be kicking themselves because if they get normal games from Edwards/Role Players they win that game. They let go of the rope in the 3rd and they couldnt put Gobert back in the game becasue they were too worried about overcoming the deficit. When Gobert was in they were holding the Thunder defensively. Just have to make more shots from the role players.

I hope they pull it together.

I think that OKC has the luxury of putting multiple guys on Edwards and playing him straight, and since everyone can play defense they don't have a weak link that the MIN secondary guys can exploit.

The whistle he gets is just bizarre – even more so when you consider that the NBA just recently made a huge show of eliminating the "unnatural shooting motion" flops and the "fouls" where all the contact is initiated by the offensive player.

It's almost like the refs just can't help themselves.
