    Mitchell looks so good! I'm jealous he is on the Jazz. CJ for Mitchell? Haha

    Westbrook should learn to keep his mouth shut. Always saying some dumb shit.

    I wanted to pick the Jazz in this series, but couldn't do it.

    They aren't winning it ways I thought either. Thought their depth would be important for them, but instead it's been their starting lineup that's done nearly all the damage.

    Love so many players on that team and I think Snyder and Lindsey are one of the best Coach/GM combo's in the league. Both super sharp guys.

    So here the Thunder are after getting players like Melo and Paul George with Westbrook and one of the most dominant Big Men in the game getting beaten pretty badly in the first round.
    If i compare rosters and moves made i would think this is every much as demoralizing as what the Blazers just went through. Even more so if they lose Paul George this summer.

    Even though the chemistry did not work from the beginning, it is still puzzling to me. Four of their starters are considered good defenders. I know people like to blame it all on Westbrook, but there has to be more to it.

    I for one think Adams is over rated.......

    I actually now hope he does go to the Lakers. That would take LA out of either the LBJ or the Kawhi sweepstakes. And PG is a distant 3rd in that group in terms of talent.

    Nah, the crowd fucking brought it games 1 and 2. It's not our fault the performance on the court was so bad.

    Utah are fantastic. The players, the coach, crowd, it’ a all so intense and passionate there that you just have to fall in love with that team.

    And the Thunder are complete trash.
    I'm not sure I would've favored them against any of the teams who made the playoffs in the Western conference.

    In the Portland/ New Orleans thread on Clutchfans, a member there (who lives in Portland for work) went to game 1. He said he had never heard a crowd that loud including the Houston crowd during their last championship season. He shit on our team (deservedly so), but gave our crowd major cudos.

    We are too stupid to understand how great the season actually was.

    Yeah was crazy how a lot of people jumped into conclusions after game 1 and wrote off Utah.

    Damn: I would be really bummed if I was a Wolves fan. They get shellacked for 50 points in the third quarter. Harden scored 22 and the Wolves scored 20.
    Meanwhile I am hoping to see OKC get booted out.
