TheRealMcCoy Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 (edited) Like seriously what have the Jazz accomplished in the playoffs to put faith in them? Nobody is taking the Jazz serious till they can prove something when it counts. They've been a really good regular season team this year, but that matters none when it comes to the playoffs just ask @beekay414. Sorry bruh... Bucks are just a good recent example of playing hard and racking up wins in the regular season. Every team at this stage is vulnerable enough to be beat in a 7 game series.

TheRealMcCoy Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Jazz last two postseasons have been first round exits and in the last 4 playoffs their combined win/loss is 11-21. Like what are we talking about here? If they actually show up this year, then cool, but that is TBD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealMcCoy Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Also, assuming things stay the way they are rn. The Jazz have the easiest path to the Finals. First round against the Warriors or Grizzlies/Spurs most likely, then Nuggets (without Murray/other guards banged up) or Mavs/Blazers. Won't face a tough test until the WCF assuming they make it which would be most likely the Clippers, Suns, or Lakers. If the Jazz don't at least make the WCF this year they should be embarrassed.

IIRC it was 2010 and our HS coaches during the summer preached to us "don't let them play Rondo defense on you, if you get the ball be aggressive." 🤣 wut?

1ForTheThumb Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Celtics feel like they're going to be stuck in no mans land forever, unless they nail a late round pick. I love Tatum and Brown, and want them to Celtics for life, but it feels like they've gotten further and further away from actually contending. Not sure where they go from here.

Problem is the Celtics are a homegrown team who need one more big talent. Kyrie failed. Kemba can be that guy but not consistently. Meanwhile, the rest of the league is just building super teams with established players. Danny started it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kip Smithers Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Thank goodness Kyrie ain’t there coz y’all know he’d be the scapegoat. Thankfully he ain’t there to be blame but you never know Celtics fans might find their way to blame him somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Steph bailed the team out from a potential big choke job. Clarkson was going insane in the 2nd half, especially in the 4th quarter. Bazegod>>>>>>>>>>>Beal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lakers won an AAU tournament at Disney World and are on the verge of not even making the playoffs in 2/3 years with LeBron, lmao. Imagine signing the best player on the planet, trading for another superstar, and being a borderline playoff team. Lakers baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
