Let's see if the kid can back it up. I hope so. That kind of comeback can demoralize a team. But I'm sure he, Quin, and Rudy will have the team ready.

That was a pretty dumb thing to say. He better hope Russ and PG don't hear about that, which they probably already have. He sounds worried. I guess I would be too if I just blew a 25 point lead with the chance to close out a series. Kid thinks he's MJ already.

LOL.

love your posts man, you a funny dude.

Yeah DM’s response right there for me summarizes why the Jazz choked away that 30 point lead.

Winning a couple of playoff games shouldn’t give you any entitlement, something these young guns gotta learn at this point.

I feel the same way about you bud. Don't know what I said that was funny but I do what I can.

I love DM's response. It doesn't show "entitlement" - it shows confidence. And he will be right - Jazz ain't going back to OKC this year.

time for westbrook to take over this series

Jazz better bring their A game because no way in hell are they gonna win in OKC. I'm going to meme my ass off if the Jazz blow a 3-1 lead.

A lot better chance the Jazz win in OKC than that the Thunder win in Utah. There’s a reason that the Jazz have outscored the Thunder by more than 20 points this series. They’re just the better team.

Very well could be true, but that's why they play the game.

Good. We need more players to talk ****. I swear the NBA has star players who are afraid to say **** to the other team.

[Joey Wheeler]

Westbrook and George need to take over from the start in game 6. This game could mean so much for OKC, if they win I think they not only take game 7 but go into the Rockets series with a lot of momentum and confidence. If they lose, season over of course.

I got the thunder winning tonight

Awesome I want to see more of this. Jazz will do better in a role where people don't think they'll do it. Basically all national pundits and people favored OKC going in and jazz showed different. So hopefully that helps them here since they couldn't close it out as the favored in game 5 haha.

[Catchall]

I think the Jazz will learn their lesson and not let up this game. But if Russ goes off for 35+ again, anything can happen.

[nrok10307]

All depends on if Gobert is healthy and out of foul trouble. Dude has been unreal on defense.

Great. You can start with that WCF Series you had against the Warriors.

[Catchall]

Game of the season for both teams, obviously. I love that the Jazz have put themselves in the position to close this out. Now lets see if they can take that step as a young, unheralded team and do it. I think Mitchell is ready to step up on the bigger stage and duel with Westbrook if he has to. Very curious to see what Mitchell's mindset is. I think he'll be the killer.

got to think the league wants this series to go 7 for many reasons.

I think the league would like Westbrook vs. Harden in the next round for the sake of TV hype. It would be MVP vs. MVP. Last year in the Jazz's series vs. the Clippers, the refs were whistling absurd phantom fouls on Gobert left and right to take him out the game. Like, foul on Gobert even though he was 8 feet away from the play. I hope the refs don't do that again tonight.

yup I personally would love to see utah lose but it will definitely be interesting to see how this game gets called.

the league could also hype donavon mitchell up as the next dwade blah blah hes coming to take hardens crown etc.

[BarneyGumble]

I am predicting Refs will once again take over and allow OKC to get to the rim while Jazz can't get calls and settle for jumpers. Jazz only win if they are hot from outside.
