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

[fightinfunbags]

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.

Dog if you win that thing you don’t need to apologize to anybody. I’m a Sixers fan that may benefit from Kyrie being out and Harden being slowed down. I’m not apologizing to anybody and I hope I am dealt the opportunity to have people on message boards question a Sixers 2021 championship for years. That’s one of them good problems.

agree- a bummer.

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

Not without Chris Paul

 

[tlance]

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

I wasn’t going to say it, but yeah.

Not without Chris Paul

He'll play. May miss a game or so.

Right. No apologies needed.

I just hate that we don’t get to see these teams play at full strength.

Really, with actual Covid? I don't know how it works

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.

True, but it’s best for the number one seed, best record in the NBA, missing Conley, banged up Mitchell, and a 2-2 tie when Kawhi went out versus a team like Memphis or Dallas getting through.

Now, Phoenix is out without Chris Paul which I think is bigger than Conley and they had the second best record and beat the Jazz 3-0 in the regular season, so they are the other team I could see winning it and it being the best of the asterisks, if any. Milwaukee would be next. (I am presuming Brooklyn and Clippers are out of the conversation due to injuries and Lakers of course without AD.)

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.

Its not irrelevant because it speaks to characteristics of the group I mentioned. Because young black players are more interested in partying than winning the title has nothing to do with all NBA players. Don't be silly.

Done with this racist shit.

The Jazz better not relax because Kawhi is out. This Clippers team is the deepest in the league and they have many guys who can get hot collectively. I think Bucks were caught relaxing last night when the went up 17, and forgot the Nets are still a dangerous team without Kyrie.

Only in your mind, because you are racist.

Poll a bunch of white NBA players and ask them where they would rather travel to play a game, Utah or LA.

I guarantee that over 80% would say LA and it might even be 100%.

WTF is wrong with you? You're such a racist loser.

Great quarter of basketball

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Bogdanovic didnt have a very good quarter

 

[AD2022MVP]

Are we crediting Kawhi if the Clippers win?

 

[bksballer89]

Literally raining 3's.

19 made 3's in the first 15 minutes

 

[bksballer89]

PG with 22 on 9-14 shooting in the 1st half

 

[Shanemansj13]

That’s an awful call
