    Westbrook got 20 points in the 3rd, including 4/5 from deep.

    Should we now start a thread about how Utah is Salt Choke City to reverse the jinx?

    Mitchell is awesome. He's not better than Lillard. Mitchell won't even win rookie of the year. Lillard is First Team All NBA and 4th in MVP voting.

    I hope not. OKC can’t have heroics like that in the next two games, Utah should be able to close the series at home in the next game.

    If they lose game 6, they're losing game 7.

    What’s more likely; stars like Westbrook and George going off, or a team that leans heavily on a rookie closing a playoff game out? I’m rooting for the Jazz but they just gave a dangerous team life.

    Well considering how the series have looked so far Utah are way more likely to just get the job done than Westbrook and George are to have another way above average night. They allowed OKC back into this last night but let’s not pretend like they are not big favorites to advance anymore.

    It doesn’t surprise me to see the impact of Westbrook and George overrated again and Utah’s team play underrated. After game 1 half of this forum gave the series to OKC already claiming ‘this is what playoffs OKC look like’ etc. Westbrook has a good finish to the game last night (his shooting was still abysmal for the game, 17-39) but they’ve more than taken care of him in the series so far.

    They’re not. At least not in my opinion. OKC has the stars and choking a 25 point lead away in an elimination game could be devastating mentally, especially for such an inexperienced team. I hope I’m wrong.
