    If Durant went down, with an ACL tear, and was done. I wonder what would happen?

    Warriors/Rockets series, if all goes to plan, is going to be a fun series. Even with the Warriors being the Warriors, the Rockets have done really well against them this season. It's going to be a battle, thank goodness we would have HCA at least.

    Can't win with a PG that shoots as poorly as Rondo/Rubio these days. It just isn't feasible...

    I don't need to wait till tomorrow. Jazz don't have enough fire power. Simple. Just play it out in ur mind u watch basketball, even if Mitchell goes off. Which i predict he gonna have to hit a bunch of tough shots. That's still not enough...ok then with that lets say gobert gives u 20. Still not enough n ok maybe ingles gives u 20. U getting closer but not enough. We have gordan, capella,harden,cp3,green, ariza, Anderson. Guys that can beat of n give u 20 on a given night.

    Our switching defense negates a lot of their offensive sets because they feast off of (illegal) picks and misdirection cuts.
    That and we have two elite playmakers and better floor spacing.

    At least we got a free wake up call that Warriors are still the Warriors.

    LOL ... Marv still doesn’t know who hit that full court shot. First Rondo, now Moore.

    Poor Miller. That was a hell of a shot, and he’s not getting any credit for it on the broadcast.

    Pelicans looked good against the Blazers because you can game plan to shut down Lillard and basically their offense stutters. Stotts could do nothing about it.

    Against Warriors, you could try to do the same thing against Durant. Except Durant is a lot harder to shut down. And trying to do so likely opens up other scorers.

    Also they have that Thompson guy.

    Good! I hope Lebron then signs with them after that and they all just act like this **** is easy. Then The nba commissioner will finally get it and blow up the league, where you can only have 1 top 20 player, and the most 2 top 60 player. It only makes the league worth watching again. The truth is, Curry should run off to the Pistons and play with Griffin.

    Be honest
    Actually if you blew up the league each team could have 1 of the top 30 by draft. and 1 of the 30-60 players threw draft. and so on and so on. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2017/sports/nba-top-100-players-2017/?utm_term=.6bc28ec6a526

    That would make the league pretty fun to watch to be honest.

    Warriors are just cruising through the first 2 rounds and Curry isn't even playing. People forgot how stacked they are. Injuries + boredom prevented them from easily winning 65+ in the regular season. Rockets better use this Jazz series to get up to speed. If we play like we did against the T-Wolves, we're going to lose the series easily to the Warriors. They can play 4 quarters of amazing basketball consistently.

    Also, hope Lebron loses tomorrow just so he can sit back watch how dominant the Warriors are and the only choice for him to win a ring again is to join the Rockets.

    This is everything I feared it would be -- the easiest possible path for the Warriors. Mirotic, Rondo, Holiday doing nothing and that bench... all no-names.
