2021 Western Conference Round 2: (1) Utah Jazz vs. (4) L.A. Clippers

[QUOTE=hold this L;14355103]Nothing about what you said changes my statement. Mitchell holds the ball way too much for an SG, but Conley isn't going to not bother playing in a tournament to win the championship for something that petty. He's had 2 groin injuries this season, both have taken him longer than he's currently been out for. The issue is Conley is injury-prone and breaks down way too much during this time of the year.[/QUOTE]

Injury prone and also taking his sweet time because he doesn't care for ballhog, temper tantrum Mitchell.

[QUOTE=HBK_Kliq_2;14355132]All season mavs were better on road then they were at home.

All season jazz were better at home then they were on road.

It's 1 game but it was the most embarrassing game ever. Allowing a 120 offensive rating is even weak, you went out and let clippers have a god damn 142 offensive rating which is nuts[/QUOTE]

I didn't

Mitchell got votes :roll:

In 5 clippers playoff wins, here are kawhi's numbers in the 4th quarter:

16/16 FG
4/4 from 3
7/7 from free throw line

He has yet to miss a shot

[QUOTE=Xiao Yao You;14355266]Mitchell got votes :roll:[/QUOTE]

Doesn't surprise me, there was even someone who voted derrick rose for #1 MVP this year. Some people voting for these awards and selections are complete idiots.

Gobert was the only player to show up on every ballot for the Defensive Player of the Year. :bowdown:

The lineup has opened with leads of 10-2, 10-2, and 8-0 in the opening three minutes of each of the first three games of the series. Overall, the group has a net rating of 18.7 while holding the Clippers to an offensive rating of just 95.5.
Now, the trick might be to find a way to get that lineup on the floor together more often after averaging 18 minutes a game to open the series. So far, only Royce O’Neale has played more than 40 minutes in any one game, but with a chance to take advance to the Western Conference Finals on the horizon, inching up the starters’ minutes could be an option.

COTY?

[QUOTE]The Jazz’s three worst players from a raw plus-minus standpoint are Clarkson (-34), Georges Niang (-16), and Derrick Favors (-16). Despite Clarkson’s red-hot shooting from three, the Jazz bench has been a major liability in the series.

[/QUOTE]

but Favors is better than Gobert!

[QUOTE=Xiao Yao You;14355266]Mitchell got votes :roll:[/QUOTE]
Almost as if he’s not as bad as you say.

probably worse than I've given him credit for

Kawhi and PG have to be sick of Morris bricking everything.

Rudy late on Morris already. Need to play better D

Wheres Toody?

typical bad start

[QUOTE=Spurs m8;14355417]Wheres Toody?[/QUOTE]
He can’t guard this lineup. I’m not even trolling I’d limit his minutes. It’s a bad matchup. You can’t play drop bigs against 5 shooters.
