WCQF: P1 (4) Houston Rockets vs (5) Utah Jazz

Why does harden need to get a triple double? They left him out there longer with the bench so he can get it. That’s ridiculous. Triple doubles are so common now they shouldn’t be a big deal anymore

Eh I haven't noticed the Rockets throwing extra defenders his way. It's mostly been Gordon playing great defense. He's underrated when he locks in on that end

Jazz need to run more PnR and less dribble handoffs, Rockets have been blowing those up

Chris Paul especially. Bigs holding the ball away from the basket near Chris Paul is asking for a turnover

Capella hasn't been better
Guess who has had the worst+/- in both of the first two games?
Gobert.

Guess who had the best in the 1st and 2nd best tonight?
Capela.

+/- is far from end all be all but we're talking about an 80 something swing lol

That's because Capella is on the floor playing with James Harden and Gobert is playing against him. Individual +/- isn't the stat you want to use.

Some stat padding going on.

Gobert is so incredibly overrated

Is there anything Cleveland would even want from Utah?

Mitchell

But nah I don’t think there’s anything realistic.

Goberts +/- for the series is deeper negative than Harden's is positive

It's only his 3rd career playoff triple-double. Go get it.

‪We just gonna act like Harden wasn’t stat-chasing HARD there late in the 4th for that Triple-Double :lol:

. They had Faried cherry-picking just so Harden could get that 10 assist smh.

There is something very special going on in Houston right now. They just have a feel about them like this is their year.

Quin's gimmick is really shaping narratives around Gobert. That's probably the most annoying about this series.

TheBallsDeeper · Post #740 » by **TheBallsDeeper** » Thu Apr 18, 2019 4:24 am

When do the coach and front office at Utah come under criticism for building a team around an undersized shooting guard that is a poor shooter/low BBIQ?

Mitchell shot the Jazz out of the playoffs last year with his inefficient play, and he is doing it again this year. Why does Quinn Synder still persist, and why didn't the front office try and get someone that could help Utah win either before the season started or before the deadline?

Who wins this series and in how many?
