Covers was acting up so it was a last minute play above. If anybody has an issue with the play, apologies. Hopefully it hits

We settle with the PUSH. That should have been a win there. No doubt about it. We don't count it on the record since we don't count it in the bank account. The "W" train is still a rollin and fully fueled. May have a second half play.....

The media has now hopped on the idea that both teams (cavs and dubs) COULD be undefeated when/if they play each other in the rubber match. So am I to believe that the dubs lose, let alone not cover in a close out game when everybody knows regardless who wins, spurs or Rockets, next series will be a lot tougher? Cavs took care of business and pushed so do the dubs one up them here tonite? I'd be very surprised if the FIRST LOSS comes from Utah. I'm sorry but Utah is no match for the dubs. When the dubs want to go, they go so do they go tonite knowing they probably get about a week off?

Let's not forget here that for the last three years this team has had a lot of mental hurdles to overcome. Championship runs, coach being out, suspensions, the down 1-3 to okc, the up 3-1 to the cavs and the nba regular season record for wins. Don't you think this team wants that rest? I'd be surprised if they don't go nuts in the second half rather than screw around with the jazz. This isnt having a square mindset. It's having a common sense mindset. No matter how much money is on the dubs, they've already not covered in over half their playoff games so far. They've already played the game within the game so is tonite the nite we see a beatdown of mass proportions or do we see a cavs/raps type game where dubs mess around until the end? I lean dubs here simply because Curry, Thompson and Draymond had subpar games last game yet they covered. Imagine if curry and Thompson each go for at least 25 and dray goes for 18-20. That's 30 more points. Also Utah had more assists 19 than the dubs 17, last game. Think that happens again? I don't know if I could put money on the jazz thinking it will.

So we've seen the line shoot up to 9 now and in the Portland series we saw this a few times with the dubs not covering. Those extra few points mattered a lot. Why do I feel like this line tonite is luring jazz backers to take the bait? Many in here are on the jazz even though the public is on the dubs. Am I missing something with the jazz here? Is it home court? Are there favorable matchups I'm not catching here? So people are going with the jazz just becuase of the points? Curry, Thompson and Durant have yet to all really go off? Is tonite that nite? I have this feeling there will be a 3/4 minute period where all h@ll breaks lose on the jazz.......

Haaaa. I usually do wait buddy. It's how I do. I'm engulfed in the caps game right now but I lean dubs full game for sure. I may do a live bet. I like that over as well.

Dubs have covered 3 of 7 so far these playoffs. Something tells me they've waited for tonite to remind some people who the bosses are in the playoffs. We will see.....

I think GS will come out fired up. Take 1Q GS . And wait for 2nd Half to see where the game is going.

Curry , Thompson and Green did not play well but Durant was 15 of 26 almost 58% and 4 of 8 on 3's, no way he does that again either.

And he had 26 shot atts to Thompson taking 9 and Green with only 8, that more then makes up for the poor play of those players because of the high shot atts And high FG%.

If Thompson and Green get more pts that means Durant gets far fewer atts.

Joe Johnson was 3 of 12 , Hayward 7 of 18, Hood 1 of 8, Mack was like 3 of 12 or whatever it was, Jazz shot 39% , Warriors 44% , Jazz shooting 39% that not likely to happen again at home for Jazz.

Both sides shot the ball poorly, Jazz just happen to shoot worse then Warriors , mainly because of Durant's high shot atts and high FG % which is not likely to happen again either.

I'm not saying to back Jazz but just saying one can make the same argument that Jazz will play better as well. Maybe it means take the over.
