It's really too bad that CP3 is gonna take the blame on ESPN and everywhere else as usual for his team letting him down, AGAIN! I really do feel bad for him, all he does in the playoffs is elevate his game and carries his team, but the team tries it's best to screw him.

Ingles screen had Griffin switch on D, and it got Crawford on JJ. Great play!

Of course, Jamal just probably shouldn't have been on the court, though I get the idea of they wanted more offense on the court for the previous possession, but you still had to go back down and defend, so...

Yeah but the Jazz wanted that switch, and once they got it, they isolated their hottest player on your team's worst defender. That can't happen.

Always room for ISO these days.

I think this is correct but, only for this year. His athleticism is basically close to being gone after all the injuries.

What a massive win for Utah.

Ingles got so far into Reddicks head that his wife needs to changes her last name to Ingles.

Gobert goes down 20 seconds in. Hayward struggles to score an entire half.

Snyder did a massive job.

Massive win and the Clippers are in their own heads now about collapsing again

4 people wrong in series voting.

Jazz in 4? There's just something about this Clippers team that doesn't fit. Not sure what it is. I'm guessing it's a coaching issue to be honest because the players are really good.

He always disappears when it counts. Griffin cannot put a team on his back and carry them in the 4th. He either gets the ball stripped in the post and falls down, or his jumper just fails him. It's been a thing for years now and frankly, he's one of the most un-clutch stars I've ever seen. Great all-around player but not a star. No team will ever amount to anything in the post season with him as the 1st or 2nd option it seems.

Funny thing:

Crawford was a GAME-HIGH +12 in this game.

Jazz are going to need Gobert back.

I assume they expected a Snyder timeout to draw something up when it went tie game, which would've been the time to drag Jamal.

Great job by Snyder to not use a timeout for the sake of it.

Lol, you can see the air zap out of the building as it bounces on the rim. Hearts collectively breaking. So sad.

Yea, I know, but I mean the Clippers just shouldn't have had Jamal on the court the previous possession for offense because you know that you still have to go back and defend and he's the main exploitable guy

Awesome back and forth there at the end of the game. That screen by Ingles to get the switch the underrated map, tho.

ISO Joe is cold blooded. Was a great closer on the heat and awesome to see him continue at this stage of his career.

He's fine as a 2nd option but the 1st option needs to be not a pure PG like Chris Paul. Chris Paul looks uncomfortable trying to take over games offensively, even though he can. Griffin would work much better with scoring PGs.

I think the difference is that the Jazz were the better defensive team. The Clips have a few guys that are average or below average defensively, and that allowed the Jazz to keep pace.
