Utah/Dallas

You're joking, right? Everything the Jazz have done in the bubble (sitting players left and right) is to avoid Houston.

Small ball is a nightmare match-up for them. It renders Gobert completely useless. He's not good enough inside to punish the Rockets shorter players, and it takes him out of the paint on defense every possession.

Yes harden owns Jazz, especially when Gobert is playing.

You're pretty much locked in with Lakers in 2nd round. Harden can cure his playoff woes if he baptizes LeBron.

The only reason it was tough on offense for the Rockets at times was because of Capela. It allowed Gobert to sit in the paint and stop Harden at the rim.

Do you realize what Gobert standing out on the perimeter means? They have ZERO chance.

The Jazz played small ball twice in the regular season. One game, Harden and Russ both destroyed them in the paint. The other game, Harden and Russ sat, and Eric Gordon was getting lay-ups at will and the Jazz still lost.

It would be a sweep.

He won't be on the perimeter. He'll be at the rim waiting for Westbrook. You realize regular season and playoffs are not the same thing right?

a bit early to be calling 2nd round matchups

breakout game for Tucker

So they'll be wide-open 3 point shooter every possession for the Rockets then?

Got it.

See you in the WCF.

The Lakers will crush the Rockets in 5 and it won't even be close I promise you that if they even get to the second round

They won't. But it's okay for you to be wrong.

Lakers have been playing like shit. They won 1 game vs clippers by a fluke LeBron offensive rebound and beat Jazz who have been awful in the bubble. Lakers better be able to suddenly turn it on mid series vs rockets when Harden/Westbrook are averaging 35PPG each.

While Kawhi gets to rest and play nuggets hahahah. Lakers are ****ed either way you look at it.

Not quite it is very possible that if the nuggets win today that the Clippers will have to face OKC which would make for an interesting series and anyway we all know that the lakers will win the west as your boy Kawhi is going home in 6 when the Lakers beat them in the WCF

Jc led the jazz with 18 points but it wasn't enough

Got it.

Might have been his best half of basketball. Spotted up for 3's and passed the ball instead of his usual 1 on 5 while Mitchell, Conley and Gobert watch
