Morris Sr going off is going to be tough to deal with.

Until this game Is say Embiid has been the best player of the ‘offs.

Getting deja vu from the Dallas series with Mitchell cooling off. Definitely less scared of him than Luka.

This is what the score should have been at the end of the 1sr quarter Game 1.

That's Mitchell for you, he'll go 1/13 on a half and finish 12/26 for 36 points. Kawhi is an absolute treat to watch when he's locked in on defense, maybe he IS BPITL.

I'm afraid of both when they are hitting shots.

I'm not sure Utah's strategy of leaving a 47% 3 point shooter open so Rudy can protect the rim is a sound one.

nothing like -3 up 17 to lose the game outright

Lotta sharps in this thread so curious what people would do...

At start of playoffs if I took

Philly +300 Win ECF
Jazz +325 Win WCF
Jazz +750 Win Title
Suns +2150 Win Title

would you do anything? Was thinking Kawhi wins MVP +1200 earlier today but obv gone now

if there was ever a time to have Trae and Lou in the game together, that was it.

also, Nate must hate Chris Dunn - guy never gets a sniff of PT even on opponent's last possessions of quarters.

This is more like how I thought the series would go, Clips are just a nightmare matchup for the Jazz—they have the ability to turn Rudy into a non-shooting “good” player out there and not DPOY.

Full arena for game 6 too.

We've talked this before but LAC is just a tough team to coach. Can take them a few games every series to find the right rotations/strategy. After P/Kawhi/Morris everyone elses playing time is more up in the air and matchup dependent.

That 1st gm Lue just had no clue what to do, he was throwing mud and hoping it sticks.

I think PHX/LAC and PHI/MIL present the most intriguing conference finals' matchups, hope it happens.

Hard to do that when they are switching the PnR and putting guys like Reggie Jackson on Rudy, where he ldo can't do anything.

Morey was definitely trolling Mr. Shut Up and Listen when he dealt Capela and went with that strategy.

yeah snyder is definitely careful with his minutes, he has gone high 30's in playoffs before

down 14, 6 min mark in 3rd and you are on a solid run and give him his normal rest is pretty meh

Odds:

1. That Hbob has been following TZ the last 3 years regularly?
2. That Hbob hasn't been following TZ with regularity BUT that he checked TZ since The Athletic article came out?
