R1G1: Los Angeles (0) vs Utah (0) - 4/15 @ 7:30pm on ESPN/Prime Ticket

This is bringing back memories for me. The last time that these two teams met in the playoffs I was still in my first year in the Navy's Nuclear Power Program, going to school in Orlando. I remember going to chow and seeing that the Clippers were playing the Jazz in the first round of the playoffs and it blew my mind! We didn't get much free time so I had no idea we made the playoffs!

Wow I can't believe Gobert went down on the first play.................

That's horrible. As much as I want to win you never want it to be injury related at all

I was trying to see if I could find our local broadcast over ESPN and I'm only finding the Jazz broadcast.

just a few mins in and crawford already crapping the bed completely dying on a screen, taking a bad shot, and turning the ball over

Left knee sprain for Gobert. He won't return tonight.

hate when this team passes up open 3's. cp3 is especially bad with this.

we look flat and this doesn't look like a playoff game.
On the bright side, it appears as though the Jazz will get into foul trouble if we keep playing through our bigs.
CP looks reserved which is forgivable this series but against anyone else it would result in us losing.

Both Jamal Crawford and J.J. Redick have reputations for folding in the playoffs, but at least Jamal Crawford is showing some life out there. Redick needs to step up as I'm running out of patience for him to get going. Even Chris Paul looks a bit out of it.

And talk about grit. Utah loses Gobert practically from the start and they come out more aggressive and effective against our team, who supposedly have aspirations of contending for the championship. Doc and this team is full of it and themselves. Just look at how much more competitive our opponents are tonight.

I'd like to see CP be a little more aggressive scoring the basketball. Blake can't do it alone.
Need to take advantage with Gobert out for the game. Hoping for a better 2nd half.

Hope you all are doing well, it's been a while.
