    As long as Utah struggles to hit 100 pts, they have little chance of winning. Ill give them a game or maybe two at most.

    Warriors in 5.

    Warriors win 4 blowouts. Jazz win a close game 3 at home.

    Everyone in the bay thinks sweep. I think the Jazz muscle one or two out just out of pride. The Jazz are not the type to roll over and play dead.

    Warriors in 5. I could see the Jazz getting one in Utah if Kerr remains out and Durant's leg acts up again.

    They are not getting any game. 4-0 is more likely than any other score.

    If they dominate the boards
    If Gordon Hayward is a beast
    If Mike brown has a coaching blunder
    If they get 50/50 calls
    If hell freezes over

    Then I think they can win game 1.

    Utah had hard fought series against the Clippers, and alot of fans are hoping they can make it a series with the Warriors. Utah is a good team, but the Warriors for the last 3 season have been historically good and almost unstoppable at times.

    I think Utah may win one game in Utah for pride, but I see a couple 15-20+ losses. Golden State can make good teams, look like mince meat.

    The way Golden State was shooting in Game 2 (with Curry and Thompson playing poorly-w/o Durant) and Game 4.

    Utah has great Defense but not enough scoring to hang with the Warriors. I see them winning one game at home. Warriors in 5. I am hoping I am wrong about this one. I really want to see the Warriors lose

    Warriors in 5. Jazz just didn't impress me at all against the Clippers.They have to raise their game significantly just to compete with the Warriors.

    Jazz have to dictate the tempo or they will get killed.

    Iso joe Hayward, Gobert and Rodney hood are legit and I think these games will be close. Warriors in 6 tho

    All I'm hoping for is the jazz to rough them up. They have a chance if they rough up curry early, turns him to an extra soft player.

    I don't trust Mike Brown.

    The jazz present some real problems defensively. They are long and play really smart. They just don't score enough.

    I voted warriors in 6 but that's what I'm hoping for. Most likely scenario is gentleman's sweep. I think Utah is good enough to steal a game.

    Iso Joe isn't going to be a hero against Golden State's defense. This is over in 5.
