Series Thread: 2nd Round: Utah Jazz vs LA Clippers

[DJ]

I surrender.

Good to know you're French.

 

[Montalban]

See, but why the need to include that word?

There is absolutely no good reason to point out that the players quoted were black.

None at all.

Is there a reason to hide it?

WTF are you talking about?

The fact that they happen to be black has nothing whatsoever to do with the comment that they made.

So don’t say it. Because it is irrelevant to the story. And makes you look like an ignorant jackass.

Hearing that Kawhi likely out for the series

Leonard's knee injury may keep.him out the rest of the series....

 

[DJ]

Leonard is the 8th All Star to miss a playoff game. The most ever.

You hate to see it. Jazz/Clippers was a great series and I really wanted to see the conclusion with everyone close to full strength

agree- a bummer.

that being said- i think a Suns/Jazz WCF will be a lot of fun.

Not good for the Clips:

Kawhi Leonard injury update: Clippers star to miss remainder of Western Conference finals, per report

Not if CP3 has to sit out...

 

[trojanfan12]

Cowherd just said that Shams is saying that the Clippers fear Kawhi has an ACL injury and is done for the year.

They are cursed.

 

[wildturkey]

I'll just keep saying it

Fuck these injuries. Fuck these playoffs

 

[trojanfan12]

The Clippers can't have nice things. I think it's the curse/stink of Donald Sterling.

They need to move to Seattle, have a ceremony where a priest performs an exorcism on the franchise or have Phil Jackson come out and burn some sage or something...then re-brand themselves as the SuperSonics.

For the sake of the Clippers fans, I’m glad it happened with five or six minutes to go instead of two minutes to go. My pet peeve in sports is when somebody is playing when the game is over and they get hurt. Heck, even when they don’t get hurt, it bugs me because it seems like it is an unnecessary risk. I know that people can slip in the showers but don’t put them in a professional game if the game is over and they are your star.

 

[MHSL82]

As a Jazz fan, I don’t like this either because I feel everyone is going to say that the Clippers had the momentum but injury helped us, but we were without Conley (which I know is not the same as butter, however, that seriously hurts the bench). The Jazz could lose if Leonard played, but there’s a chance that the home crowd and Conley coming back could win it.

 

[trojanfan12]

It's being reported that Kawhi has already told teammates that he's going to be out for awhile.

And people want to say the Lakers 2020 title was somehow diminished by the bubble.

No title should really ever be diminished, but damn. We are going to have a team like Utah win a ring because everyone else is missing one of their top dogs.

PG has to be the man tonight and they need Reggie Jackson and Marcus Morris to help fill Leonard's production. Probably wouldn't hurt if Kennard also hit a lot of outside shots tonight.

This title could have an asterik more than last year's.
