Yeah - cause Adams went to the bench w/ 3 fouls.

Utah's new game plan every game should be to try and get Adams in foul trouble

Seriously lol

The Jazz have been one of the hottest teams in the league since Gobert came back n OKC is the ultimate Jekyll & Hyde team in the league that plays with no consistency.

Looking at it on paper having the reigning MVP Westbrook with Paul George and Carmelo Anthony and decent role players. It would really be funny to see them in a first round exit.

Ordinarily, Mitchell would be due for at least 16 shots in the 2nd half.

I have in my hot takes for this post season, that Jazz goes to the finals. Legggoooo.

We also face the Kings twice in the near future. I think it's time Yabu pays back some of that free money he's been given his entire career and bounces Fox for a nice 2 week ankle sprain.

Also for the last couple of playoffs he's been shooting at ~30%.

On barely any attempts per game during those two PO stints--2 attempts and 1 attempt per game respectively. Quite the sample size you're trotting out here.


Patbrick Patterson had 8 points TOTAL in 4 games against the Cavaliers last postseason.

Yeah on paper lol but in reality we know this isn't Melo from 5 years ago n Westbrook is the biggest ballhog in the league who's "MVP" was based on a lot of empty stat stuffing n doesn't make his teammates better so the finished product is less than it's parts. Also on the flipside the Jazz are very well coached with a DPOY caliber player n an unbelievable rookie that is already one of the top SGs in the league n much better depth so it's really not that crazy at all.

Utah is pretty good, this would be a minor upset, not a major upset. And since when did OKC have decent role players lol

I mean, you can play Patterson at the 5 and try to draw Gobert or Favors out, but it means you have to pass him the ball sometimes, and Russ doesn't seem to want to do that.

FYI Hakeem played for the Raptors at one point so technically that's not true.

Still hoping for a Harden vs Westbrook second round showdown, battling for the chance to get **** on by Durant in WCF

Why would almost 100 3PA be a poor sample? He shot 29/96 3PT, that's a good sample, and he took 3.5 and 2.6 3PA, not 2 and 1 attempt.
