Playoffs West Conf Round 1: OKC Thunder vs Utah Jazz Series Discussion Thread

[Xiao Yao You]

I don't know, I don't follow the Jazz. I'm just saying your argument is beyond retarded. FG% includes shots at the rim, FG% includes shots between 3 and 10 feet. Are you drunk? Are you actually taking the piss?

He's just very sensitive about Ricky having the worst looking shot in the league

Yeah lol, that is obvious, stop begging for my attention/

+ Their 3p% is ranked 12th as well, but they "can't shoot", sure.

Either that, or he has legit brain damage. I wouldn't rule out a combination of the two though.

[CuterThanRubio]

I count George, Patterson and Abrines(if he's playing?)

Patterson averages less than one made per game and Abrines has less total threes than Ricky.


High percentages are meaningless without volume

Alright!

Now that you got it out of your system can we continue with the actual basketball discussion, not enough room on my d!ck for everyone (believe it or not), one at a time please!


Bitch ass losers in here so mad at me for nothing, the salt is highly contagious

[Uncle Drew]

Shut yo sensitive ass up little boy.

Because of Ingles.

Unlike Ricky he can shoot though. I wouldn't say they are meaningless. There's this thing called analytics. So missing a bunch of 3's is not a great thing unless you love Rubio

Jerebko doesn't take many either.

Thunder in 4

[Gotterdammerung]

This should be the most exciting series of the playoffs.

I look forward to the reincarnation of a young Dywane Wade in the rookie Donovan Mitchell, who should exceed his season averages of 20.5 ppg, 3.7 and 3.7 rebounds and assists per game to carry the Jazz' offense. But the OKC Thunder will guard him with a great defender in Paul George.

It's just too bad that they don't have their best defender in Roberson, whose absence has actually hurt their defense (from a ferocious defensive efficiency that's third in the league to a lousy 16th). Thanks to Rudy Gobert, the Jazz has the necessary team defense to shut down the OKC Thunder long enough to extend the series to seven games.

But they don't have enough beyond Mitchell to keep up with the almighty Russell Westbrook and company.

Oklahoma City in 7.

Thunder will win this easily in 5.

[hold this L]

I still think this is 6 or 7, agree with Gotter above. I think Jazz take this though, but we'll see if playoff PG shows up or whether Mitchell shrinks under the PS pressure. They're relying on a rookie to lead offensively.. that's no joke. Ingles has been way too good this year though and Rubio might show up offensively for 1-2 games, which likely makes a difference on who wins.

Give me experience on this one + Adams can stand toe to toe with Gobert.

Thunder in 5.
