Oh relax, Gobert wasn't allowed to play defense for the last 20 minutes of the game when he picked up the 4th foul.

Jazz have to be shook after that 2nd half

Yup, George would have fouled out if they made an attempt to call them. Of course if they called Ingles for hooking/holding, he'd foul out too :lol:

What a night, between this and the Cavs-Pacers game... I haven't sincerely smiled because of the NBA in a while.

Damn WB was **** and I believe sth like 5-19 when I had to tune out. Can’t believe the comeback...

Westbrook got a gift with Gobert sitting.

It was clear that Westbrook had nothing to do as long as he was looking at Gobert in the lane. He took advantage of the situation, but nothing was happening tonight without the foul trouble on Gobert. That's the real story.

How has Westbrook had a better game? Utah is definitely better than Indiana but Russ has a WAYYY better supporting cast.

lebron 44 - 10 -8 with 5 tos and +2
russ 45 - 15 - 7 with 5 tos and +10

and russ brought his team back down 20 in the 3rd, facing elimination on a team with no momentum or flow against the best defense in the league in ppg. we'll see lebron's shot for the next 45 years. but russ' heat wave is by far more impressive and important. game was tied when james hit his, admittedly, incredible shot. they both went hero. but russ went superman to lebron's batman.

Plus/minus should never be used in he context that you just used it, fyi. Russ had an amazing performance so don't think I'm hating because I've been defending him these past few days, but A) he has way better teammates than LeBron and a legit second option in PG to take the pressure off of him, B) you conveniently excluded their efficiency, C) you didn't bring up defense when LeBron was clearly better on that end.

I'll take that exchange lol.

And this is what I’ve been saying. If Russ and PG play like they’re capable of then it’s over.

You're 25 up, in no way do you blame refs or anything else. You put away that team. Inexcusable by Jazz.

Look, there was going to be a game in this series when Westbrook went for 40+. This was it. If he can keep it up, hats off to him.

GG not happy to see the L but always better to see pride rather than quit.

Jazz had won 3 games in a row and were up 25 on the road. I think they got a bit complacent. This is a good lesson for them. It's hard to beat a team 4 times in a row.

I submit that the same exact thing happened in game 2 and 3 when Adams got in foul trouble.

For once it was gobert in foul trouble and not Adams

Adams isn't as critical to the Thunder as Gobert is to the Jazz, imo. Gobert has been shutting down OKC all series.
