Quin Snyder has to be on the hot seat at this point, right? This is the second year in a row that his team completely blew a series they should have won.

Again, you can’t go far in the playoffs when your two best offensive players are small guards. Portland has the same problem. Need wings in the post season. Kawhi, George, Batum, Morris, Mann... Team has so many switchable players.
I think it was hard for Utah to do something with a hobbled Conley.
And a hobbled Gobert in the second half.

Both teams are banged up. I mean, Kawhi didn’t even play.

Some incredible 3 point shooting by both teams tonight.

LAC: 20 / 39 = 51.3%

UTA: 21 / 44 = 47.7% (brought down by a couple of desperation shots in the final minute).

Total 41 / 83 = 49.4%

Feel like there's got to be a record in there somewhere.

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

This playoff series is really survival of the fittest. It's going to be who is injured the least in the finals who will win it.
Any odd typos are because I suck at typing on an iPhone :D

So many epic chokes this past week... didn’t think it could get worse than the Bucks loss. Then the Sixers game 5 loss happened. But this Jazz choke is the worst of them all, especially because it’s an elimination game.

It’s also exposed multiple players. Giannis, Simmons, Gobert have all lost value this offseason.

Told y'all Utah Jazz was overrated.

Clippers-Suns is gonna be good. Kinda scary that I've predicted a Clippers-Nets NBA Finals...

Especially since Kawhi didn't play.

Pretty sad by the Jazz. They out clipped the Clippers.

Not surprising he stepped up in the playoffs.  He's been carrying a "lucky" Rondo card in his wallet since middle school.

The Sixers Game 5 remains the worst because it was at home. The coaches for each of the teams have taken a loss as well.

Ty Lue and the Clippers were genius in this series, they looked so prone to going on runs of sloppiness with turnovers and missed shots against the Macs that I thought the Jazz would take advantage of. Except for Donovan Mitchell (who’s a superstar and improved his stock despite the loss), the Jazz roster came up small, Quin Snyder refused to go with a lineup without Gobert or Favors, and the Clippers came up huge.

Ty Lue is a really good coach. He made the right adjustments and Jazz didn’t. Clippers started 3 small forwards, a point guard and a shooting guard. Those guys played almost the entire game.
