Series Thread: 2nd Round: Golden State Warriors vs Utah Jazz

[LAD]

Hard to say. As @tlance points out, it did look like the Cavs would get a big lead, take their foot off the gas and then turn it back up again when the Raps made it close.

Maybe the Warriors beat the Raps by more because I don't think they'd take their foot off the gas like the Cavs seemed to.

I can see it, but I think the Jazz take a game or two against the Cavs. Reason being is because Utah defends pretty consistently which in the playoffs keeps teams in games.

Maybe. I think the difference is that the Jazz style of play is less conducive to them truly getting blown out because they play a slower tempo and limit possessions. Imo, that's why they were generally able to stay closer for longer before ultimately losing by double digits.

I never got the feeling in either series that the Warriors or Cavs were actually in danger of losing any of those games. However, of the 2, I thought the Warriors looked more consistent throughout each game.
