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

[NBAGOAT]

Mitchell forced his way back into the lineup when the team doctors said he wasn't ready. **** him!

and he had a good game last game he was useful. If gobert's mobility was so bad maybe he should've sat out too lol.

and yet mitchell being allowed to play is on him? That's a complete double standard lol

an elimination game is a lot different than a first round match up where they didn't need him.

you can get eliminated in the first round. Utah was down 1-0 at the time when he wanted to play, that's an urgent situation and he thought they needed him. when i'm talking about cutting him slack for the ankle injury I also meant during this series. You really are doing whatever you can to hold on when it's ok to concede your favorite player had a bad game and deserves a portion of blame.

No offensive star ever gets that much blame passed on the coach when he has a bad game(though maybe more blame should be passed on). Gobert got paid to be as impactful as those offensive stars by his defense. That tax with gobert/mitchell and all those other guys in the future will be huge.

He was not this series(even before this game he was only a +2 by +/-). If you blame everything on no Conley, then it would seem Conley is the most impactful player on the team if he has that much of an effect on your best player. If Gobert had even Steven Adams level touch around the paint too, the clippers might've been forced to play Zubac much more and that would've made his life significantly easier on defense. That's a big flaw of his game too he better work on this offseason.

It wasn't urgent. They barely lost with Gobert fouling out. They would have beat Memphis as long as Gobert and Conley were playing

Legit have never seen someone so ungrateful to their team’s best player. Xiao needs to give Mitchell props.

props for what? They lost

Not because of him.

[Xiao Yao You]

Not because of him.

it's a team sport. A guy that plays no defense and doesn't involve his teammates in the offense is certainly part of the problem

He was incredible on offense and the main problem defensively was your guy Rudy.

a lot of problems as I've stated all along. Not going to hang it all on the guy that got them where they are. One of the worst teams in the league without him. Got beat by the better team as expected

I think we all expected Merlot Milicic to get owned by someone, but the someone being a total random was interesting
