that will help them

Redick has done nothing

[QUOTE] J.J. Redick and Jamal Crawford both broke out of their shooting slumps (hitting a combined 7 threes in 14 attempts).[/QUOTE]
and Rudy and Hill were 10-17 from the field!
JJ was 3-11 and 2-7 from 3 with 4 turnovers. Way to break out! :wtf:

[QUOTE]Win or lose their series with the Clippers, the Jazz have shown promise in their first postseason appearance since 2012. They feature a blend of crafty experience and youthful optimism.
Had the Jazz been swept in the first round, it could have given Hayward pause. [/QUOTE]
Anyone really think they were getting swept before Rudy went down?
[QUOTE]Instead, they

[QUOTE]Rivers again engaged in talks, though the Clippers' salary cap crunch left little hope of signing him in free agency.
"Hey, we're going to give you a hundred grand," Rivers jokingly pitched Monday when asked about their discussions last summer. "I'm a sweet talker, but I'm not that good."[/QUOTE]
there it is. He didn't actually choose the Jazz because of winning.
[QUOTE]"There's something to be said for someone who's as respected as he is in the league, and the kind of mind he has for the game, to identify this place as somewhere that he wants to be. I think that's a nice compliment to our players and our organization. And he certainly made a good decision."[/QUOTE]
did anyone else offer him close to 22 million for 2 years? :rolleyes:
[QUOTE]Obviously it's paid off."[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]"Gobert's a great defender, but we've been really good with Gobert on the floor in the regular season," Doc Rivers said, adding that the Defensive Player of the Year candidate may have had a greater impact on the offensive end. Clippers guard Jamal Crawford also downplayed Gobert's role in the Jazz's win on Sunday, saying the center's return gave Utah "more of an emotional lift than anything."[/QUOTE]
keep on telling yourselves that. The series is over!

[QUOTE]Gobert's presence, as the series moves to Los Angeles for Tuesday night's Game 5 at Staples Center, could prove to be a game-changer. The Clippers were able to win two straight games in large part because of Jordan's dominance in the lane. Without Gobert, the Jazz had no answer for his length and athleticism.
That changed Sunday. The Jazz won the rebounding battle for the first time in the series. The Jazz also outscored the Clippers in the paint for the first time in the series.
Gobert and a rejuvenated Favors also made things difficult for Chris Paul. The Clippers point guard was still great, scoring 27 points, handing out 12 assists and grabbing nine rebounds. But the open lanes to the hoop he enjoyed for three games were largely not there. The Jazz forced him to shoot under 50 percent (10-of-21) from the field for the first time in the series. And he didn't dominate in the fourth quarter.[/QUOTE]
Bring on GS! :cheers:

[QUOTE]Quin Snyder is a smart, passionate man.
Nobody doubts that.
He should be the NBA's coach of the year.[/QUOTE]
homer!
[QUOTE]He certainly has been the match of Doc Rivers, a coach who's already won an NBA title.[/QUOTE]
not saying much

[QUOTE] I thought Favors had more of an impact on the game, to be honest, tonight. Again, both of those are offense. Defensively, we do what we do. You know? We don

[QUOTE]The good news: he's back at 100 percent for Tuesday's Game 5.
"I got it from a sandwich from a place," Hayward said, trying to avoid putting the offending restaurant out of business. He did say he wouldn't be going to that restaurant ever again.[/QUOTE]
Clippers fan working there?
[QUOTE]To me, that says that the knee contusion isn't as big of a deal as the hyperextension, which he wears a brace to protect. That's very different from Derrick Favors' knee contusion, which gives him pain and limits his explosiveness at varying levels.[/QUOTE]
May just be that they are different guys. Hood had the same thing as Gobert months ago and still hasn't recovered. Rudy is the man! :bowdown:
[QUOTE]We'll see how he does in his second game back from injury, but it seems like he thinks that he'll play at about 100 percent. With only eight days between when the injury happened and his return, that's a major win for the Jazz.[/QUOTE]
Clippers are done for!
[QUOTE]"It's a chance to have some level of impact on the game that during the 82-game regular season there isn't as much preparation time," Snyder said. "You're also able to impact the game negatively too, so it goes both ways."[/QUOTE]
like making Withey inactive instead of Lyles?

[QUOTE]Coach Quin Snyder is happy to have Hayward back in the lineup tonight and said there shouldn't be any limitations on his minutes.

[QUOTE]SG: Alec Burks is out of the rotation, so maybe the PRP treatment in his left knee is more PR spin than anything else. It seems just like a really fishy time of the season to have that done.[/QUOTE]
might have been out of the rotation because of his knee. If he can't help them it seems like the perfect time. Maybe he can help them at some point this year still?
[QUOTE]PF: Joel Bolomboy is likely to be selected as a fellow Inactive for this game, along with Burks.[/QUOTE]
Was Withey last game so I imagine it will be again though it should certainly be Lyles
[QUOTE]Rivers is going to come off the bench, and I don

Well that 4th quarter was a nice reminder on what a bitch Chris Paul can be.
