If we make it to the Finals, my preferred opponent would be Philadelphia. I think we could destroy them, especially if Ayton keeps playing with intensity.
What about the Hawks?
I think he meant of teams with a reasonable chance to be there.
Haha, fair enough

I'm not sure we would do better against the Hawks than we would against Philadelphia.

We might have some difficulty slowing their offense, but we’d hunt Trae mercilessly..just like we’re doing to MPJ

Apparently X rays came back negative on Kyrie’s ankle. Whatever that means.

It looked pretty bad. I'd be surprised to see him back for this series. Maybe if it goes to a game 7.

I want to face the Jazz in the WCF, after they go 6-7 games against the Clippers and are a little tired. Mitchell is admitting his ankle isn't close to 100%, Conley has a bum hammy, and Gobert isn't as much of a factor against us.

In the Finals, I'd prefer playing Philly because the longer the postseason goes, the worse Embiid's knee will get.

The Clippers are bulldozing the Jazz.
The Jazz shot selection is awful. Or if I'm allowed a jazz analogy, they are playing "outside".

Atlanta wins and Jazz getting trounced.

Jazz look horrible. I never bought into them as real contenders, but I thought they'd put up a better fight than this.

Oooooof. Embiid was 4 for 20 tonight. I promise you Ayton will NEVER have a shooting game that horrific.

Clippers are a weird up and down team, but I think they finally realized how to beat utah. Play small, 5 out offense and switch everything on defense. Rudy can’t punish smaller guys on offense, so switching doesn’t hurt there and keeps the Jazz from running their offense. The Jazz become just a Mitchell iso team against switches.
On defense Rudy has to try and defend the rim, plus stick his man who’s out at the 3 point line. Stretches him beyond his capabilities

The offense is awful. Donovan Mitchell playing 1 vs 5, the other players absolutely stagnant.

Can't really judge the Jazz when they're missing their starting point guard.

NBA finally looking at a rule change for all these flail and shoot fouls. It’s about time.

I think we can beat them. My main worry is that they'll send bitch ass Beverley in there to intentionally injure Chris Paul.
