    Let’s sweep. And may the Pelicans break The City’s heart in game 7.

    He can shoot 36% from three now. That is enough to hurt you.

    He runs their offense. Now they have to rely on Mitchell and Ingles to win one on one matchups consistently.

    Good luck with that offense against Tucker, Ariza, CP3, and Luc.

    They are going to struggle to score even more so that Clint is playing with more energy than ever before.

    Jazz Starters possible

    Crowder: SF

    Ingles: SG

    Mitchell: PG

    Who guards Ingles?

    Rubio is likely to be back Game 3 next Saturday?

    Hate to see an injury. But with or without Rubio, this series is over in 5.

    It puts one more player into the rotation they don't trust. Advantage Rockets.

    I agree. The hate from the 90s has never left and never will. I hope we embarrass them. Clint needs to bring his A game because he is facing maybe the best shot blocker in the league.

    Ricky Rubio is a sharpshooter now, he can hit from anywhere midrange and 3 pointers all over the floor. His shooting form changed.

    Meh. His shooting is improved for sure. But sharpshooter he’s not.

    This will mean a lot of decision making will rest with Burks, Mitchell, and Exum as their guard rotation. CP3 and the rest of our defense should be able to capitalize on the extra mistakes from them instead of Rubio who’s pretty steady. Whatever his issues Rubio is a good PG. The Jazz will be less potent on both ends without him.

    That said, we gotta take advantage and try to finish this in 4-5 games.
