    Get both imo, so they can move on quickly to the 2nd round aka the real nba finals. No point in milking this really when they’re playing their best ball

    If the Rockets keep playing like they have been playing, forget about it.

    The biggest thing that I took away from this game was just how completely and utterly discombobulated the so-called defensive Jazz looked from start to finish.

    I know that basketball is a game of matchups - and this Rockets team is clearly a matchup problem for the Jazz - but damn, man...It is looking like that as long as Houston is focusing they are just going to roll.

    I'm not sure what the Jazz team identity is supposed to be.

    I have a good idea what the identity of Houston is, and it has a beard.

    Whenever Harden has a big game, the post game analysis consists of ways to stop Harden. When Giannis has a big game, they just nut all over the screen and say how amazing he is.

    Hardens spectacular play has overshadowed Eric’s two amazing games. I hope that horrendous stretch in the 4th quarter in OKC has focused Eric

    I thought we looked a bit sloppy towards the end. Especially CP3 doing really stupid stuff and turning it over.

    Next game, run back on fast breaks, close out 3's better, they got way too many open corner threes that was missed.

    Chris Paul needs to shoot more, he sometimes dribbles around too much looking to pass only, just take the shot

    I've been thinking we'd take Utah in 5, but after watching these 2 games, I'm fixated on the sweep. Sure, unlikely, but if we can take the next 2, our guys would be cooling their jets watching Oakland playing a game 5 against the Clippers. I really want that.

    Something else I like? We don't play the j*zz again until Saturday, which is big. Our older guys, Chris and PJ, get a couple of days rest, instead on one. We saw what that extra day does for them tonight, in my opinion. Oakland? If we sweep, we're done with Utah Monday, and Oakland will be playing a game 5 next Wednesday. I like that idea, a lot.

    He needs some professional help to come out of his universe. The kid is definitely on the spectrum.

    It's actually pretty sad. I even saw a Gateway pc box in the background.
    The Jazz might be his only outlet for "happiness".

    And that actually shows that deep inside they know who's the best player ;)

    That part of his role has been dialed back this year. At times sure he will be more aggressive if need be but right now he’s playing the game just fine. He’s going to primarily get other guys shots. I’m not worried about cp3 not letting the game come to him. That’s easy work

    The poor guy probably "dates" his neighbor's cat, who looks like him, but without the face fur.
    The neighbor's naked cat! Sad.

    (That was mean on my part - my own sister is a successful romance writer, so I'm gonna edit my post)
