Gobert and Mitchell are such a fun pairing. Defence vs offence, freakish height vs freakish athleticism, etc. Good fun

The Clippers are really missing Ibaka right now. For the sake of a better series I hope he's fit to play from game 2 onwards.

I hope we get a chance to see both the Jazz and Clippers at full strength. Would love to see Utah with Conley at some point in this series and LA with Paul George at some point in this series too.

PG is absolutely copping it. He's been inefficient but he's been really strong as a passer these playoffs.

I can't stop laughing at that tweet bro.

Ugh :')

Hope the Jazz keep it up. Way more worried than I was a day ago.

Conley being out is scary, and the Clips put up way more of a fight than I thought they would.

The Jazz are getting exposed. Can’t go far in the playoffs when your teams best player is a 6’1” guard. Mitchell is really being bothered by the Clippers size/length and he looks shorter than Rondo. Great regular season team, but Utah is not built for the postseason.

Not aging well.

That loss was on Ty Lu. Should have pulled Kenard as the Jazz were creating switches that left him guarding Mitchell every time, just like Miami did to the C’s with Kemba and he was scoring at will.  Clippers were really bothering Donovan in the first half with George, Kawhi, and Batum. Also a terrible decision to not call a timeout to draw up a play when the Clippers got the ball back with 14 seconds left in the game. I still see the Clipper taking this series.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

I put the game on last night towards the end of the second quarter. After a while, I was wondering what was going on with George, since he was glued to the bench. Was he hurt or in foul trouble? Then I saw him in the second half, and realized he just sucked.

He is a really good regular season player. However, I wouldn't trust him at the end of a game or in the playoffs. He is simply not a big game player.

Yeah, Kenard couldn't guard me.

The Phoenix crowd is something else man.

Or maybe it's just the way they got this place mic'd up.

Regardless, it's superbly fun to watch because of it.

The western conference series have been so much better to watch.

This Suns game is one of the more fun games to watch all season.

They're playing such fun ball man. Movement, passing, fast breaks, everything.

One of the fun things to watch in the playoffs is how teams hunt a defensive matchup and play a guy off the floor.  Paul going after MPJ every time down the court right now has to be demoralizing for him.

This is sad. End of the road for the short-handed Nuggets.

Phoenix getting two injury riddled teams in the first and second rounds.
