    Thanks for this. I actually really enjoy this guys honest take. He actually acknowledges Harden's upgrade in defense

    Good video, thank you for sharing!

    Why do you automatically assume it's "stupid ****"?? I recommend you watch it. He was very, very reasonable and objective.

    he was actually pretty good

    he acknowledged Harden’s greatness and noted how he now plays defense at an average level...pointed out how he’s good at getting steals and excellent in the post although the Jazz don’t post up much

    worried about CP3 because his midrange game killed them last series, and also concerned about Thicc from the corners

    mentioned that the Jazz might want to try some of what Milwaukee did against Harden although he thinks they defended him pretty well last year albeit with Exum available

    Ariza was able to stifle Donovan Mitchell, can Mitchell get to the rim more consistently now that he’s gone?

    Rubio can’t be a scrub and play like he did during the regular season (more bad nights than good)

    Guess I've been conditioned over the years to expect the worst from the fans of certain franchises, and Jazz fans are right there at the bottom.

    I'll give this one a listen, though, since I do trust the opinions of ClutchFans.

    basically he said rockets are favorites but they have no more ariza who stiffled donovan last year so perhaps if donovan plays like crazy maybe jazz will win

    Agreed. It was a good take. No zdog at all!

    Always thought this guy was likable. He has fair takes and is pretty knowledgeable as well. He knows the Rockets should be favored, but gives decent reasons why or how both teams can win.

    I was working a different job last year (in Utah), and after the one "good" game Exum had against Harden, everyone was saying "send help, Harden is on Exum island". Harden proceeded to torch him after that, and no one ever said anything.

    Now, a year later, I'm at a new job (in Utah) and a bunch of software developers are sitting around talking about how they wish they had Exum to shut down Harden.

    Then, I see this guy say the same.

    We live in a world of narratives.
