This Jazz team is really fun. It's neat to have a playoffs where each conference has a plucky young underdog (Philly in the East, of course) to root for. Arguably Boston is a young underdog team, too, with Kyrie out.

What a weird box score for that Utah @ Rockets game. Ingles goes off for the best game of his life. Scores 27, on over 75% shooting from the field (including 7/9 from 3), and still ends up a minus 2 in +/-. Mitchel shoots under 30% from the field (and only 2/8 on threes), but ends up with a plus 13 +/-.

Almost as if +/- is a completely worthless shitty stat.

Or shooting %

We need to go hard for Dante Exum.. He would be great alongside Booker and has the defensive capability to help shut down opposition scorers.

I'm warming to that idea, too A) if the price is right and B) if we don't draft Luka.

Go after him even if we do draft Doncic. We need athletic defenders who actually know how to play in the worst way.

Y'all remember when Kevin Love was washed? Ha ha.

Well Casey probably been watching too much talk shows and internet takes burying Love.
He would have to believe he's washed if he chose to have DeRozan and Miles single cover him on the block. Love been struggling but that decision to check him with small forwards was mad lol

Toronto confidence disappeared in the 3rd quarter of game 1.

We already have plenty of guys who know how to play in the worst way.

LeBron is a monster. Good grief.

It's not even an insult. It's just real.

He's still the king of the mountain. Postseason comes around every year and he just turns it up another notch.

34.4 points, 9.9 rebounds, 9.0 ast so far in the playoffs.

God's plan...

We already have too many defenders that know how to play in the worst way. Instead, let's get some defenders that know how to play the best way for a change.

D'oh! Beaten to the punchline.

Did you guys catch LeBron's fadeaway extravaganza against the Raptors? Awesome. Poor lizards. All season trying to get ready for this series, busting themselves to gain home court and they are getting destroyed again.

Lebron just completely and totally owns Toronto. At this point their players and fans must just have PTSD every time they see the guy. It's too bad because Toronto has a really good team this year and made a big stride toward playing the "right way," emphasizing more ball movement, three-pointers, pacing, etc. and less on hero ball from Lowry and DeRozan. They were rewarded for it, but it still doesn't get them past The King.
