Series Thread: 4) Oklahoma City Thunder vs 5) Utah Jazz

[LAD]

that's what i was thinking. Utah imo is definitely better than they played last game...

they started out really good - then Rubio got to shooting jumpers instead of looking to set up guys & get the offense flowing

Ingles was terrible from the field last game. He's a difference maker right there if he just knocked down a few of his open 3's.

Jazz's Mitchell has contusion; status TBD

Westbrook and Melo didn't have great games either. If the Thunder can get just 2 of the big 3 clicking at the same time they can be great.

Definitely agree there's upside for both teams. Thunder are a dangerous team when they're playing great together. The only problem I have is consistency. Based on recent play, I feel the Jazz have a much higher chance of returning to the norm.

Thunder have now won 4 out of 5 against Utah this year and are clearly the better team. Utah gets one game at home, that's it.

We'll see. The regular season meetings mean nothing for 2 reasons.

1) Gobert missed 2 of the 4 games

2) They completed the season series before Christmas meaning long before Utah started playing well

This is the forgotten series. Every single year in the playoffs there is a series you just forget about, this is it.

Utah came out ready to play.....but the Thunder are right there with them.

Utah came to ball tonight

 

[bksballer89]

Refs don't know what an 8 second violation is lol

 

[DJ]

Thunder need to take the wind out of Utah's sails.

 

[bksballer89]

Huge 13-0 OKC run.

Now up 4

 

[DJ]

Utah experiencing growing pains here.

 

[bksballer89]

Nice bounce back for Utah after falling apart.

Only down 2 now

 

[DJ]

This is a damn good game.

 

[thunderc]

Thunder falling apart here and nothing is dropping. This is how you lose games you should win.

 

[bksballer89]

This is good stuff
