****. Gobert goes down on the first play. He was the reason this series was going to be fun..

That was just unbelievable. Didn't seem he could get any weight on that knee either. Really hope he's alright, not just for this series. He's a fun young big to watch, would absolutely hate to see a knee injury affect his career.

As for the game, you could see that it (his injury) got the Jazz immediately out of sorts.

Hayward seems to not get much separation from his man

I'd love to sign Ingles to start next to Butler.

He's 100xs better fit next to Jimmy

A Butler/Hayward duo would be pretty nasty

Obviously we have no shot at him but watching this game and they would be a dangerous pairing

He's the reason I want us to win now. Wade better work his wonders and recruit that guy. Having Gordon and Butler on the wings together is a crazy combo on both sides of the ball.

It's a risk because he's injury prone but Utah may need to shed Favors salary to make room for the Hayward and Hill contracts. He'd be a nice upgrade over RoLo.

I really like how poised and disciplined this Jazz team plays. Extremely well coached team.

I hope Gobert is OK.

Don't see why Hayward would ever leave Utah.

Joe Johnson has been making Griffin look silly. He's played some great D

Getting to the whining Clipper point of the game. They better get composed or Utah will steal this one.

Stranger things have happened. Just last year no one ever thought KD would leave the Thunder and he had less of a reason than Hayward.
