Jazz at Warriors

[Xiao Yao You]

thanks for starting one!

[Xiao Yao You]

looks like the D is a bit better this quarter

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Warriors are gonna beat the Jazz in the 1st round :roll:

[Xiao Yao You]

can't see it

[hold this L]

Jazz gameplan is to do everything but put the ball away from the Chef. Warriors either need to be more creative to get him open, or other guys to punish them.

[Xiao Yao You]

Gobert was taking over and COTY goes to the bench and GS makes a huge run.

[RRR3]

Gobert was taking over and COTY goes to the bench and GS makes a huge run.
He has 9 points.

[Xiao Yao You]

He has 9 points.

6 to start the 2nd half. Got the Jazz back in it and he went to the bench and Clarkson has shot them back out again. Might as well put a Warriors jersey on him

[hold this L]

Poole's development is so nice to see even with all those limitations. My boy got an end of Q parking lot 3

[Marchesk]

Jordan Poole form beyond half court with the bank shot!

[Xiao Yao You]

Thomas looking good, amazing when you have to guard guys because they can shoot

[hold this L]

Fantastic team work. Close this out. Would have been nice for Steph to get 30, but he should have scored 1 more 3 :lol

Better rest the starters for tomorrows game now.

[Proctor]

Need Mitchell back. Can't trust Clarkson or Gobert to do jack shit.

This Jazz team continues to look lottery level without Donovan. :facepalm

[hold this L]

These refs are ****ing garbage. Pool fouls someone at the 3 point line, he goes to the rim and they call it a shooting foul. Someone jumps on Poole and shoots, shooting foul. Dray gets clearly fouled, no shooting foul.

5th foul on the first one

[Xiao Yao You]

so much for rest for the Warriors

[Xiao Yao You]

choking

[hold this L]

What the **** is this team doing? :facepalm:facepalm:facepalm

[RRR3]

Toody unable to get a clutch rebound, costing his team the game :(

[Xiao Yao You]

crappy shot by Clarkson. What a POS

[RRR3]

crappy shot by Clarkson. What a POS
Why couldn’t Rudy get the clutch rebound? Why did he let his team down?

[Xiao Yao You]

Toody unable to get a clutch rebound, costing his team the game :(

16 boards. Only reason they're in the game

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

16 boards. Only reason they're in the game

A team scores another 120 on Utah and DPOY is the reason theyre "in the game"

[RRR3]

16 boards. Only reason they're in the game
Why couldn’t he get a rebound when it mattered most? Looney is 6’9. Embarrassing.

[Xiao Yao You]

A team scores another 120 on Utah and DPOY is the reason theyre "in the game"

Yep. It would be 160 without him

[Xiao Yao You]

Why couldn’t he get a rebound when it mattered most? Looney is 6’9. Embarrassing.

they all matter

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Yep. It would be 160 without him

:roll::roll::roll:

[RRR3]

Toody being unable to outmuscle Kevon fricking Looney cost his team a crucial game. Will probably lose to the Warriors first round.

[hold this L]

This was a team win. Great work, Poole, Baze, Dray and Looney. :applause:

Warriors probably lose tomorrow vs Suns due to B2B, but it'd be nice to win again.

[Xiao Yao You]

Clarkson and COTY too much to overcome on the road. 19 minutes for Forrest! Thomas was great for 4 minutes and instead he goes with Forrest and Oni. :facepalm

[RRR3]

Clarkson and COTY too much to overcome on the road. 19 minutes for Forrest! Thomas was great for 4 minutes and instead he goes with Forrest and Oni. :facepalm
Clarkson literally got you back in the game you ingrate. Toody’s wimpy ass couldn’t get a game ending rebound over a a ****ing forward lmaooo

[mehyaM24]

damn curry scored 36 points on just 3 threes? lol that's got to be rare for him.

[SATAN]

Clarkson is one of the biggest ball hogs I've ever seen. Decent player overall but what the hell was that? Looked like he didn't want anyone else getting a shot off on the last few possessions.

[RRR3]

That was truly embarrassing. Toody had a chance to almost lock up the 1 seed and he literally let it slip through his fingers. Dude is awful in big games.

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Clarkson 33 shots in 35 minutes
41 points 0 assists

:lol:lol:lol

[RRR3]

Clarkson 33 shots in 35 minutes
41 points 0 assists

:lol:lol:lol
Ultimate gunner but he’s not the one who choked. Game is on Rudy for being unable to get an easy rebound. He’s clearly not even a great rebound just statpads them cuz the Jazz play a SG at PF

[hold this L]

Most 30PTS games by someone in their 12th+ season

1. 44 - MJ
2. 37 - Chef

What great company for the Chef to join these men. :bowdown:

Clarkson was why they were out of the game to begin with. Live and die by Clarkson. Not a smart strategy but again we're talking COTY. Gobert got 1/3 of their rebounds. They out rebounded GS.

[Xiao Yao You]

He was one of the best rebounders in the game when he played next to another center :facepalm

Statpads easy rebounds clearly. When it was time to get a crucial one he was a complete butterfingers.

Clarkson shoots too much but part of why he’s getting a longer leash is because he can create offense and no one else on the Jazz can without Conley and Mitchell.

[ArbitraryWater]

Im sensing some big scares from OP at the thought of dropping to #2.

Lakeshow waiting.

He’ll blame Mitchell no matter what. It’s never Rudy’s fault. I learned that last year when Mitchell had one of the best playoff series OF ALL TIME and Rudy got destroyed by Jokic (and Murray on switches and the P+R) and he still blamed Mitchell.

It will definitely be coaching related.

Always an "external" source.

Lakers would definitely lose if only a coach had game planned right and played right players/minutes. Easy way of giving no credit.

you don't blame the franchise player. Lottery team without him. Mitchell plays no D and they lost because of D so he gets plenty of blame

[Xiao Yao You]

They'll lose because they are too small and COTY won't go big. Not really that complicated. O'Neale guarding Davis or Lebron and Bojan getting torched by the other. That's without even going into Mitchell and Clarkson

[ArbitraryWater]

you don't blame the franchise player. Lottery team without him. Mitchell plays no D and they lost because of D so he gets plenty of blame

So Gobert is responsible for D duties and they lost because of D?

Who filled the scoring duties?

Mitchell did more on offense than Gobert on defense.

They got lit the fck up.

[Xiao Yao You]

gobert can't do it alone. Conley has stepped up defensively this year and that's been the big difference. Bojan, Clarkson and Mitchell are hard to hide. Gobert makes more of an impact on offense. He's not an inefficient scorer

[ArbitraryWater]

gobert can't do it alone. Conley has stepped up defensively this year and that's been the big difference. Bojan, Clarkson and Mitchell are hard to hide. Gobert makes more of an impact on offense. He's not an inefficient scorer

you can tell that to mitchell on offense.

again, mitchell did far more on offense than gobert on defense.

if you cant see that, you're even dumber than we think.

[tpols]

Man the Jazz were petrified of Curry last night. Literally double team trapping at the half court line on every PnR. Still got lit up. Rudy tooty couldn't stop the avalanche.

[hold this L]

BabyXiao taking an RS a little seriously, me thinks someone ain't feeling too confident after the next 2 weeks. Gobert has the best intimidation factor in the pain in the NBA, his issue is that he is glued there. Look at Curry's winner, why is he there when everyone is on the perimeter. On top of that if the Warriors make the PS and get paired with the Jazz, get ready to watch Croissant Capella (CC) on an island from P&R play after play if the game is close in the final minutes. They opened the Jazz up last time they played exactly with that, P&R spam for CC and Curry, KD were getting buckets every single possession.

[Xiao Yao You]

mitchell doesn't do it alone as much as he might want to and try to. gobert plays both ends. mitchell plays no d. i'n not the one here who is thick :facepalm

[Xiao Yao You]

weren't petrified. they chose to stop curry and make others hurt them. not a bad strategy. didn't work out

as like as clarkson, bojan, mitchell and coty are around there's no reason to feel confident. this isn't durant's warriors. jazz should take them in 4 or 5. 2nd round is where there is trouble

[hold this L]

We'll see with time. I'm not going to say anything cocky this year. If the Warriors make the playoffs, I am confident if fit vs the Suns or your team.

weren't petrified. they chose to stop curry and make others hurt them. not a bad strategy. didn't work out
The defense Steph got last night is going to be what every single team is going to do with the Warriors, it makes sense.

[ArbitraryWater]

mitchell doesn't do it alone as much as he might want to and try to. gobert plays both ends. mitchell plays no d. i'n not the one here who is thick :facepalm

You're speaking in general terms now.

The argument was about last year's playoff series.

If you think Mitchell was worse than Gobert while doing 36/5/5 on 53% FG 52% 3P 95% FT and 70% TS with a Gs blowing Gobert's out of the water, you are seriously retarded.

didn't say he was better or worse. playing no defense is unacceptable regardless

[RRR3]

He was guarding Harris so who cares. Toody is the one who got annihilated by Jokic

[tontoz]

Man the Jazz were petrified of Curry last night. Literally double team trapping at the half court line on every PnR. Still got lit up. Rudy tooty couldn't stop the avalanche.


That is what the wizards did and it worked well. Curry really struggled from the field and with turnovers. He was holding the ball too long trying to dribble out of trouble.

Haven't watched the game last night but I am sure they made some adjustments to deal with this.

[Xiao Yao You]

He was guarding Harris so who cares. Toody is the one who got annihilated by Jokic

he was guarding Murray plenty. That was the series

[RRR3]

Toody was guarding Jokic all series and was completely helpless. That was the series.

[ArbitraryWater]

did Gobert hold his own against Jokic?

Outscore him on the other end?

Did Mitchell hold his own against Murray?

Just compare who won their match-ups

[Xiao Yao You]

jokic is a star. murray was only a star with mitchell guarding him

murray won his match up 4 games to 3

[RRR3]

Murray averaged 21+ PPG this year he’s hardly a scrub. And he was a star against the Clippers too so...

Why was Mitchell on the PG? Conley too scared to guard his matchup?

[RRR3]

murray won his match up 4 games to 3
Mostly cuz Toody turned into Enes Kanter on defense.

conley wasn't a good defender last year either. was gobert/o'neale/ingles vs one of the best offensive teams in basketball. Had little chance

[Xiao Yao You]

a whole defense isn't revolving around Kanter

[RRR3]

Sure Toody is a great defender in the regular season. In the playoffs he’s awful though and we have multiple years of evidence supporting that.

[RRR3]

They were up 3-1 thanks to Mitchell playing like a god. But Toody just couldn’t prevent Jokic from turning into peak Shaq. Maybe if he hit the weight room more he’d be able to guard players like Jokic, Embiid, AD, Giannis, KAT, etc.

[Xiao Yao You]

Sure Toody is a great defender in the regular season. In the playoffs he’s awful though and we have multiple years of evidence supporting that.

we don't though. We have an upset win over the Clippers. We have them losing as the underdog to Houston because of Ricky and Favors spotting up in the corner and we have them losing in the bubble to the favorite because of inconsistent D.

[Xiao Yao You]

They were up 3-1 thanks to Mitchell playing like a god. But Toody just couldn’t prevent Jokic from turning into peak Shaq. Maybe if he hit the weight room more he’d be able to guard players like Jokic, Embiid, AD, Giannis, KAT, etc.

they were up 3-1 because Denvers D was even worse than the Jazz. He's guarded them just fine. He can't guard a whole team by himself. That much is clear. He's done plenty or work in the weight room

he does lead the defense but he can only carry so many bad defenders. Had too many last year. This year Conley and Niang have stepped up at that end. The main reason they have been better this year with mostly the same players

On Clarkson’s final shot that could have tied the game, Warriors forward Draymond Green fouled Rudy Gobert on the rebound attempt, then never established himself out of bounds before inbounding the ball to end the game.




rudy not getting the clutch rebound! :facepalm
