2017-18 NBA Playoffs - Week 2

[HEZI]

It is destination to over pay players.

That's New York

Jazz will over pay players to come there because they have no choice to do it they have done it in past with boozer.

It all depends on whether or not they want to bring back Favors. He seems to be a good fit there so they could decide to keep him and then just add a couple more pieces to the bench

i love being a new york sports fan, but at the same i'll never get to experience being a fan of a team where its the only team in that entire state and everyone living in it is a fan.

The portland scene around the Blazers is pretty dope though they do live their Timbers too.

Jazz did a good job of getting into OKC's heads. Melo, PG, Westbrook are all emotional.

More interested in looking tough than trying to win the game. Them dudes when 23 minutes of gameplay w/o an assist. 10 assists for the entire game. Tried to play streetball instead of playing like a team.

Utah just kept moving the ball around and around. Were smiling after every scuffle. Jazz were just as level headed as it could get through all the chippyness.

I think Melo was quite composed this game actually. During the WB foul on Crowder (WB should've been given a flagrant for that one imo) which instigated that scuffle, Crowder unintentionally elbowed Adams yet neither Adams nor Melo reacted in a way that wasn't justified and calm.

Honestly, PG13 and WB have painted themselves in a poor light with their attitudes this series and especially this game, its not like Utah was being dirty. They just play tought hard nosed basketball and the way PG13/WB conducted themselves screamed "I'm better than you how dare you challenge me".

*Turns in the direction of Phil Jackson*

If Phil's plan had worked out, we would have had Frank and Mitchell. At the end of the day, he is in Utah, we will have a shot to snag him as an FA in like 6-7 years if we are smart about the cap.

What was the plan to accomplish that? Serious question.

Melo hasn't had an assist since game 1.

Gaines was really high on Mitchell, but they felt 8 ws too high at that time. So Phil was trying to get a second lotto pick to draft Mitchell. He was talking to Portland about taking on one of their contracts for their pick and then try to use that pick to move up like the Jazz did to get the Nuggets pick. For whatever reason we couldnt do it. They also looked into any deals that made sense to trade down from 8 to get Mitchell as well.

so frustrating as a melo supporter to see him struggle like that. he clearly waited too long to get off this bum team to chase a title and now he is washed af. he just can't make open jumpers anymore..

I hope he bounces back in game 5 as I will continue rooting for him, but damn It's been a frustrating season for him to say the least.

[Reign23]

melo must be like 0-10 from 3

and most of them were wiiiiide open..

edit: even more incredible than his shooting struggles is the fact, that he still shoots a better % than russ. hasn't been okc' series..

[levendis]

Grant should be playing over Melo

[Fat Kat]

OKC - fake tough guys

This bum team turned Melo's 12 PER azz into one of the all time scoring leaders he should issue an apology for likening them to hell and thank the organization tbh

Impossible for Melo get in any offensive rhythm playing with Westbrook, he should have listened my advice and went to Utah for Favors, would be heading to WCF right now as a top 2 scoring option on his team averaging 20+ ppg

Rubio
Mitchell
Ingles
Melo
Gobert

[El Poochio]

Expecting Favors Gobert frontcourt to hurt the Jazz against better comp if they insist on playing them together
