Fwiw Doc, I think 32 meant in the playoffs everyone is banged up.

We Lakers heads definitely can agree to that. Damn the NBA and their ridiculous quick start to this season.

I’ll never let it go

I think I want the Jazz to take it all.
Quinn Snyder is a hell of a coach and they have a likable squad.

True, true.

I was more observing the Clips falling behind by so much...with time running out they had to rev it up on both ends...I figured if it stayed close, Clips may wear out. Same with Jazz if the opposite occurred.

It’s not a series until the home team loses. But props to the Jazz for a strong finish there.

Unless he plays the Lakers, I totally root for JC. He just doesnt give a you know what...tosses them up there care free. And they go in often. Some of that time he spent with Kobe rubbed off on him

LOL! In the playoffs, this is Roger_Federer's Clipper prediction record after tonight... 4-5.


In Roger's defense...I'm 90% certain earlier this year he posted (not sure if he was serious or no) that he has only been following bball for like 5 years?

Bottomline is, as you know Runway, players talk about their legs getting tired and saving energy for the 4th all the time (I listened to a ton of Kobe talking about that). So when you gotta push back soooo much and fall down 20+, while you may get away with it if your opponent is, say, the Pistons. The Jazz, at their place, with a revved up a crowd? Yea, maybe you go on a 25-0 run...but you're gonna be gassed.


This is my 5th season. I have predicted Clips to beat MAVS after 0-2 and I still think they will beat Jazz. I think they figured something on how to guard them in 2nd half. They did something similar in MAVS series too.

Most importantly Mitchell is limping and so was Bogdan. Conley must be fit ASAP

Been to few Clippers home games where they faced the Jazz. (Discounted tickets and normally they were on boring tuesdays or Wednesdays where it was nothing better to do type of situations)

Jazz fans definitely seem to make the commute without hesitation. ( I ALWAYS WEAR LAKERS GEAR ESPECIALLY CHAMPIONSHIP HATS ,SHIRTS EXT. love the look at Jazz fans when they come into Staples feeling good about their chances against the Clippers but seeing my Lakers championship gear gives em that sharp reminder we own them as well 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

I might take the wifey out dripped up in Lakers gear to Shaquille’s Restaurant at LA Live during game 3 just troll 😈😈😈😈😈

Yeah, very true. But I was only ribbing him. He's a Clipper fan, and I've seen him put it in the fridge many times for Clippers. If you're pulling for the Clips every game, then your prediction record is the same as the team's record.. 4-5. LOL!

Definitely. The Clips getting stretched out to 7 games against Luka took its toll but this late in the season they just gotta have amnesia for the mind body and soul and just give it your all.

I’m hoping the Jazz can steal one game in LA. They should be able to finish these clips off back home

I pick them to win because they have Kawhi and lot of fire power.

I think you are severely underrating the Jazz. They are a better team than the Mavs, up and down that roster. I mean, I think you said Clips in 5. That isnt happening. Maybe they win in 6, or 7...but this is a vastly different challenge for them.

Probably two of the bigger issues: 1. Jazz are a better defensive team 2. Unlike the Mavs (who shot uncharacteristically well from 3 in their wins), Jazz are a very, very good 3 shooting team. They also have JC who is a total X factor.

Meanwhile, the Clips defense seems very average to me in this playoffs. They seem to be able to put together maybe a good quarter, and that's it.

Anyway, we shall see.

I don’t think we got a workout with Tatum.

Either way Jayson, Donovan , and Deaaron would be in New Orleans right now
