Westbrook doesn't have the legs to carry his team right now. That game the other night took a lot out of him.
I don’t understand why people think Jazz is a more preferable matchup. When I watch Gobert defend the pnr I’m constantly amazed at how brilliant he is defending it. He is so long, so smart and so athletic that he is capable of playing defense against both the ball handler and the roll man. It’s just superb to watch how efficient he is defensively because he protects like no other and he never gives up fouls. Doesn’t get out of position and has such sound fundamentals. He effects the game defensively similar to how harden effects the game offensively.
Exum... Burke... ... I had forgotten how many failed lottery picks Jazz have collected over the past few years. No wonder Hayward jumped ship.
I can’t believe how lucky OKC is. They play like crap most of the season and at the last minute they get home court advantage. They get blown out last game and should have been eliminated and somehow found a way to win. Now Rubio is injured and the Jazz look like they’re falling apart, smh....
1. Rockets are 4-0 against the Jazz and 1-2 against OKC this season. 2. OKC has much higher ceiling than the Jazz, because they have two guys who can go nuts on any given night, and pull out some BS win like the last game.
