My take away from the 1st half.

1st. This series should produce a ton of great games

2nd. Playoff PG had no issues following PG to OKC

3rd. Mitchell is continuing the great playoff debuts by these stud rookies.

Or pull Gobert out off of a pick-n-roll to guard Westbrook or George in an iso setting.

Oh yeah, seems like Gobert was jumpy on PG out there. PG could draw fouls on those shot fakes.

Paul George always plays his game whether he's hot or cold. Playoffs George is curious. :wizard:

This is exactly what Lue should have done to Oladipo(though granted they don't have the personnel to run this). I mean, who else is gonna score?


They have one dude who can do it. He played 2 minutes in the garbage time tonight.

Mitchell is a 4th quarter player, 1st half tells me he is going to have a strong finish. Man we need to find a way to contain PG. Maybe we need to put Exum on him? I don't know.

That should be Melo's job. PG is OKC's ONLY legit 3pt shooter. He should be taking 8-10 a game.

This is why Mitchell is the ROTY...he's the primary offensive focal point for the Jazz and the one that demands the majority of the defense's attention.

Shows that it's a matter of preference. Versatile distributor vs. Elite scorer. Arguments for both are valid.

That’s why it makes sense to just settle for Tatum :wink:

Tatum is my favorite of the three. I think he'll be the best of the three.
