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

[bksballer89]

I officially declare the 'Playoff P' jokes obsolete. He isn't that guy anymore

I tried to tell you guys this for at least 2 weeks now

So both #1 seeds may be on the brink of elimination needing a road win to keep their season alive on Friday night

Feels like Jazz will win this one.

But pretty remarkable that the Clips are even in this spot. Thought they might get rolled.

Sometimes you gotta see more

If there is an MVP this game it's Kawhi for holding Mitchell to 13 point so far.

He doing that with voodoo magic from the sidelines?

I've learned that Kawhi gets credit for every Clippers win and PG all the blame for the losses.

Nope. The corpse of Reggie Jackson got the momentum back.

Clips real solid down the stretch

Shameful loss by Utah tonight

Not really. Mitchell is obviously injured and Conely is out, the rest of the Jazz are pretty average. Clippers supporting cast is much better, always has been.

Who isn’t significantly depleted at this point?

Milwaukee and Atlanta?

Man this sucks. Never seen anything like the carnage of this year’s playoffs. NFL has fewer major team altering injuries during their playoffs

About to find out if they can be real #1 seeds or not.

They've always said that the playoffs can be a war of attrition. I don't think that's ever been more true than this year. It's not even the number of players that are hurt as much as it's the number of star players hurt.

PG balled out last night and got help from Jackson and Morris.

Huge win without Leonard.

 

[Shane_O_Mac812]

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.

Why has this dude not been banned yet? He is blatantly racist with almost every post yet he is allowed to stay.

That's what is needed from PG and how he can make Playoff P a positive. The Jazz shot 17 of 30 from three and largely because of PG's play, they were only down 5 at halftime. He wasn't quite as effective in the 4th quarter, but had done enough to get his teammates (especially Reggie Jackson) going to make it winnable for them.

What will be interesting is the next game. A lot of times, you see a team lose a star and step up. Then reality sinks in. Anxious to see what happens with the Clips.

How long is Kawhi out?

How long is Kawhi out?

I don't think it's been officially announced. There were reports yesterday that the Clips were thinking he's out for the year and that he had already told teammates they were going to be without him for awhile.

Haven't seen anything official though.

They need to close it out in 6, don't let it go to a game 7.
