The way the Jazz use the shot clock, a 5 pt lead is more like an 8 pt lead with 1:20 left.

Blake Griffin averages 3 points per game in the 4th quarter? lol

Don't know why Hayward took the last couple of shots when Johnson has been the man this game. Griffin can't guard him.

Hayward looked scared there

Thought Hayward was gonna choke this away

Johnson is a prime example of why teams need smart veterans to win. He's been excellent for the Jazz this game. Just playing such an intelligent game on both ends of the court.

CP3 brought them back but he's made some terrible decisions down the stretch.

Every Championship team has vets like that.

Joe Johnson has been the game MVP. ..... and he turns it over just as I type this. Still Jazz game to lose.

Utah has a few of them. (Hill has also played the role of smart vet)

You'd think the Clippers would be a smarter team with Paul as their point and the supposed great coach Doc.

My freaking power went out right at the end of the game. Bad lightning storm and it's pouring.

Utah better watch Crawford ....

If Doc is smart enough to bring him in. I know he hasn't been hitting...but he'll rip your heart out if you let him.

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.

Not quite the same situation when the landing place is GSW.

MF'n joe Johnson

He just destroyed the Clippers collective souls

Wow. Got it back just in time. What a finish. Clips are done.

Good for Utah! I can't stand the Clippers.

Trm3 · Post #78 » by **Trm3** » Sun Apr 16, 2017 5:10 am

Wow!

What an ending..

Not a fan of Griffin or Paul so they deserved that.

A big ISO Joe sighting!

AKfanatic · Post #80 » by **AKfanatic** » Sun Apr 16, 2017 5:11 am

That was so fitting with the way Joe played this game. He was more than solid.

Doc and the clips look like they're going to continue to underachieve
