Series Thread: 1) Houston Rockets vs 5) Utah Jazz

[Inimical]

Utah has given up on rebounds on the offensive end, they are just sprinting back after every shot....I dunno about this.

 

[Inimical]

They need to burn clock now

 

[Black Adam]

Exum with the dagger...

 

[bksballer89]

Not sure why the Rockets defended that way there

 

[Heatles84]

Looks like we have ourselves a series.

 

[bksballer89]

WE HAVE A SERIES

Dont discount a Chris Paul or Mike D'Antoni team in the playoffs.

They are the poster children of playoff underachievers.

Utah might be my favorite team.

Called Mitchell being a stud.

Crowder has a massive cock

Rubio>Teague

Ingles...self explanatory

 

[Montalban]

Yes! Good win.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Utah is the best team in the NBA.

They have been so for 3 months now. They flipped a switch in January and have been virtually unbeatable.
They are better than both GS and Houston at this moment.

GS can probably get back to being the best as they have the talent edge, but I am not sure Houston can reclaim the crown.
The Rockets might be only the 3rd best team, as that is how good Utah has been in the 2nd half.

Still a long ways to go....anything can happen regardless of who is the best team.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Impressive win.

Props Utah.

Now go home and TCOB.

DM owes his success to Kobe Bryant. The only DM did not do well was clock management late. HE attacked the basket, as he should have, but his last name isnt Harden.

Utah's been pretty good since January. But they're 5-3 in the playoffs right now, and you could make the argument that the OKC series should've went 7 with a non-call on Gobert's foul on PG near the end of the game. So I wouldn't exactly call Utah unbeatable.

I still think Houston wins this series. But Utah's going to take this to at least 6.

loved watching the Jazz get that W tonight. Fuck james harden, that punkass "leaning-in for a foul call on an errant ball toss and wanting foul shots left and right" motherfucker, can't stand his flopping bitchass.

Utah certainly is beatable and if they do somehow beat the Rockets they will quickly discover what losing is like when they play the Warriors.

But they are a pretty damn impressive team. Quin Snyder probably should win Coach of the Year although Stevens probably will and is deserving as well.

Watching the post-game they actually had a fairly amusing sequence of Kyle Kuzma and Shaq doing a quiz. Kuzma was quite personable.

If I had a vote, it'd be for....
1) Brett Brown
2) Quinn Snyder
3) Nate McMillan

Brown did a great job this year. But he also has 2 of the 3 or 4 best players under 25 in the NBA. In many years he would absolutely be deserving of the award. But he is, at best, third this year. And I'm a Sixers fan.

It'll probably end up being Brad Stevens..which is okay I suppose....But I just think Brown was more worthy this season.
As long as it isn't Pringles...it's all good.
