Most people here picking Utah makes me nervous :ohdear:

Also I dunno about taking anything from the regular season in Utah/OKC. The game Utah won was the third game of the season, the second time they played was in the stretch where the rudy/favors/rubio lineup was absolute trash and some crazy people thought we were better with Rudy off the floor, and then the last two games Rudy was out again and Rodney Hood and Joe Johnson played significant minutes. Also, the last time we played OKC was December 23 and Roberson was still alive for all 4 games. If anything makes me scared it's the rookie vs veteran aspect. When the refs let the Blazers play more physical last night Donovan/Exum/O'Neale looked pretty rattled for a while and just kept doing stupid poo poo, and since Ricky got into foul trouble fast, our offense tanked. Donovan seemed to figure things out by the 4th quarter and stopped trying to get ticky tack contact fouls called, but by then it was too late.

That 2008 team literally had the best offense in the league, and after that they were managing injuries and some team construction issues. I maybe don't have as high opinion of Sloan as MV does, but the idea that he would have gotten more out of that team with a "Modern" system seems pretty wrong to me.

I never thought our offense was the problem, granted I haven't watched replays of those games in a long time so I'm just going off what I remember from when I was a dumb 17 year old, but I always remember being angry at the sieve that was the Boozer+Okur front court when defending the post. That's why I always felt like the Spurs/Lakers were auto losses since Duncan or Pau would just eat our lunch for 48 minutes.

Lol he told Mitchell to pass more in the show and Mitchell watched it and passed more, it doesn't go much deeper than that but it's not a bad idea to have Mitchell do point guard duties

I mean he kind of has to cuz of Ricky dying. Also does anyone actually believe that it's Kobe and not the Jazz coaching staff who got Mitchell to do that?

is rubio for sure out for the whole series? i thought i saw immediately after the injury they anticipated a ~10 day recovery from the strain, shouldn't that be around the time of game 5?

The 10 day thing was from Woj iirc. I believe that officially he is just day to day depending on how his treatment is going.

edit: But this is an injury he's been fighting for like the past two months so I'm not that optimistic about a quick recovery
