    Psyched we got the win but I'm really disappointed the Jazz couldnt close the Thunder tonight. Im really hoping the Jazz can close it out at home.

    10 turnovers combined in the last 2 games.

    Brutal.

    3-0. No coincidence. ;)

    FYI to clutchfans: I am a season ticket holder and might have tickets available this postseason as well as next season. I would love to go to a game with a real fan from this forum someday.

    Exactly. They might not making it out the East, especially with the way both the 76ers and Raptors are playing. Shoots even the Celtics are a threat.

    I mainly wanted Utah to win tonight so we would tip off Round 2 this weekend when I’m actually off. Now I’ll probably miss Game 1.

    Interesting facts:

    Harden's worst game was Game #2- the game in which Houston beat the T-Wolves by the largest margin of 20
    Harden averaged about the same amount of minutes as the reg season yet averaged only 2.8 TOs a game compared to 4.4 RS.
    Despite his lower shooting %, Harden had a hihger 3-pt % than RegSeason at around .385
    Harden also averaged 1.2 blocks and 2.4 steals per game to go along with 29 ppg and 7.4 assists

    From the post-game interview (5:32):

    CLINT: ...from the tip until the end...

    JAMES (whispering): pause *looks at media*

    CHRIS: *trying not to laugh, chuckles, facepalms*

    This team has chemistry yo

    Love the trash talk between Harden and CP too.

    I think at 2:15 someone asks “does it help to have a 1st team all defensive player on the team”

    Harden: whose that????

    Lmaoooo
