Added to Calendar: 06-16-21

Bogey had a couple good possessions but he can’t make Morris uncomfortable at all. He also had one terrible one where he came off Batum to help Rudy with a Mann drive that had no need of any help at all... like Mann wasn’t even thinking about shooting that at all.
Which is weird because Rudy is probably the only guy you don't need to send help. Just let him deal with it and if they make it, it's ok.

Ingles and Mitch also has been terrible off the ball. Just need to pick it up in 2nd half.
 
First time watching the Jazz?
Right. The Jazz has relied on the three pretty much the whole playoffs. I think there's legitimately a question as to whether it's sustainable throughout the playoffs but that's their identity and they're going with it. So far, they're up five in a game where a win puts them one victory away from the WCF, so, it's working.

So far.

It remains to be seen if it's a strategy that will ever get 'em beyond the semifinals, tho. I hope it is.

We're about to find out.
 
Rudy would have like 5 dunks if Mike was playing... JC missed him like 10 times.
 
Royce is battling but George is still having his way with him unfortunately.
They have been running tons of off the ball plays for him. Royce pursuing through screens is never going to catch up to him, others need to step up, stunt and slow down PG so Royce can get back on him.

Also while PG deserves all the slander, he is still pretty smooth.
