Series Thread: LA Clippers vs Utah Jazz

[trojanfan12]

Something about the Clippers.....can't put my finger on it. It's why I have no faith in them to do anything right, hence why I went with the Jazz. This should've wrapped up the series, especially with Hayward out.

Agree. It's always been this way for them. They are either terrible and make bad lottery picks, or they are terrible, make good lottery picks and the guy gets hurt. Or they make a good trade or FA signing and that guy gets hurt. Or they actually manage to put together a real good team, but always seem to be missing some key ingredient or 1 or more of their guys gets hurt.

I've never been one to believe in curses, but the Clippers are starting to make me consider changing that. Thought maybe getting rid of Sterling might do the trick. But nope, for some reason the basketball gods still hate them.

First Gobert, now Griffin and Hayward? If it isn't one thing it's another.

Yeah. But I feel for Hayward though. Food poisoning is a bitch.

Heard a pretty funny promotion for the next Clippers/Jazz game on the radio.

Announcer says: "Now that Operation Poison Hayward has failed..."

This Clippers game is boring. Even though it will be a close game, I doubt I'm staying up for it

What's up with this low scoring yawner??
Really good defense from both teams?...or ineffective offense by both??

The Dubs can easily reach the combined point total of both these teams by halftime if they wanted it....lol

This is what the Jazz like to do. Kinda like the early Spurs/Duncan teams.

this is more like those slow plodding eastern conference games from back in the early to mid 1980's.

Not against the Jazz. They play at the slowest pace in the league to limit offensive possessions for their opponents.

I am sorry @Mecca - but I think your team is screwed without Blake Griffin. My worst fears with him are unfortunately beginning to happen. In his first few years of playing I was concerned that he played so physical, that he might be inviting injuries as he got older and without him, your team might not even be in the playoffs. Might be time to start rebuilding?

The Clips actually look better at times without Griffin. Clips should've traded away Blake when he had significant value. Now they're not going to get equal return for his value.

They had a chance to get Carmelo Anthony this season for Austin Rivers -And Pappa Rivers turned Phil Jackson down flat

There's no way that would've happened. The salaries don't even match up for one. LA would've had to throw a lot more into that trade.
