It's about the defense, that's something the Jazz has to improve, on the 2 losses of the Clippers on the road, that was because they have limited the production of PG, but PG has also adjusted now and has been providing some good points for the team, that's something they need to figure out back home, if they can't then Clippers might win the next 2 games.
It's true. If Royce will be defending Kawhi, who can match PG13?
Bojan and Joe Ingles seem to have a hard time doing that but they don't have many options either than those two.
Whenever a switch happens, this is where their defense breaks down.

Now regarding their offensive attack. Pick and roll is gone. I don't even see Gobert making any points anymore. He is the key for the Jazz to be back on top of their series. I even bet for him to at least make 20 total points and rebounds but I am disappointed.
He made 11 points and 8 rebounds for 32 minutes. Perhaps the Jazz should just go small and rely on transition plays.

Pick and roll does only work effectively for the Jazz if they have Conley on the floor, he is the guy who can make the Jazz better because he is more focused on passing or facilitating than scoring, Mitchell is not a pure PG, he is more on scoring and do a lot of attempts in the 3 point line.

yeah both of you are right, pick and roll is not showing anymore, Gobert needs to bring his presence back to this game if he wanted to win the game, Clippers did a great job limiting Mitchell and let him to shoot more outside than penetrating, or passing it over to a better option.

They need to check and balance both their offense and defense, a tough job for the coach but if they want to continue their chase for the title they need to figure it out before Clippers continue the dominance.

Very possible to extend up to game 7, do or die game if happen will bring more money to the league.

Game 7 chances for this series is still huge. I mean the Clippers may have the winning momentum, but I have a feeling that the Utah Jazz might win one more game at home in game 5. I'm not sure, but the Jazz will for sure are making necessary adjustments to win a crucial game 5.
Mitchell alone can't win games. The Jazz will be forcing their supporting cast to step up or else they'll lose this series.
Nevertheless, 6 teams has been playing a good series with 2-2 standings, except the Nuggets who got swept by the Suns.


With this pattern that they both won on their home games, the possibility of a game7 is very possible. This series is opposite to the Clippers vs Mavs wherein both teams have not won in their homecourt till game7 for the Clippers.

The character of Mitchell will be tested in this series, either buckle down to pressure or rise up to the challenge of bringing the Jazz to the WCF.

Game5 is very important to the home team, if they lose I think this series is over in six games.

Mitchell needs to stand up and face this challenge, he's focus leading the team needs to adjust.
Playing at  home is very important,

they need to win this one to extend the series or else, just like what you have said if Clippers win
a game inside their homecourt the chance of losing the series is very possible coming game 6.

Coaches and players needs to jive and find the best adjustment to beat  their opponents.



If Jazz will win this and will have a commanding lead, they have a huge chance to win the series. This series is actually very exciting to watch but I expect that game 5 will be a close game as both teams have already adjusted and they know that whoever gets to 3 wins has a good chance of winning the series.

The clippers have the momentum going to the road, they can win this series for sure.

Leonard did not play in the game's final minutes, but that's alright because they are in a good lead.
He seemed to be okay, this is the latest update about his injury.

https://www.si.com/nba/clippers/news/kawhi-leonard-on-apparent-knee-injury-ill-be-good (he is good)
Thanks for this update, I thought the impact would be that huge for his knee but I'm just glad it seems fine. I'm hoping that will be the case since both of them with George was pretty doing well and they got back to back 30+ points game protecting the home. There's still work to be done but hoping the momentum was really on them since they always got the lead to double digits unlike the win of Jazz from their home court that only got single digits.

It was another great game for Clippers surely. They made a really good comeback in the series and tied it (2-2). P. George and Leonard both played really good that both of them had 30+ points and they were so close to making a double-double as well. I loved Morris' performance also. He made 5/6 3-pointers.

That's another Dallas vs Clippers scenario but this time I think there will be no game 7 because the Clippers had already dominated the Jazz. I can't remember the Jazz had a lead in game 4, so this will just continue as the Clippers are really talented as a team.

Only Suns get it to the conference finals early. The others teams are having tough and competitive games.
I'm anxious to today's game against Bucks vs Nets, I think it will be a competitive and will be a good game

You won't understand it because you cut the paragraph. Here, I'll help you out and will put it in "bold".
I apologize, because I got confused and misquoted. But it's already been fixed, thank you!

Now its too early to say that the Clippers will fight the Suns in WCF but it looks like the momentum is also shifted already.
Yeah, it's too early. Jazz had a good run in the 3rd quarter and cut it to 14 point lead from 26. They are still fighting back and Clippers cannot stay confident whenever the score is going far away.
Jazz start was just really bad. Shooting stats is low and even Clarkson and Mitchell cannot find their rhythm in the first half.
Defense of the Clippers was highlighted during that moment. Batum already had 3 steals in the first quarter which proves they are now playing with a goal unlike the first 2 games of the series.

Make sure you check to see the Kawhi highlight from tonight’s game. He threw down a monster dunk that will likely be in his all time dunk reel. Nice to see the Clippers making the series interesting with a win. Looking like the Suns may get to match up with another team from Los Angeles on their way to the Finals.
The Clippers went to a huge lead early on the first and didn't look back as they won and tied the series 2-2.
The highlight of this game is that monster dunk of Kawhi to Favors and even other Jazz teammates really shocked when they saw it.

I just saw a picture from social media a while ago saying that Kawhi didn't loss a series when his team is down 0-2. I predicted Jazz to win in this series but with what is happening, looks like the Clippers are giving them a good fight Cheesy. Now its too early to say that the Clippers will fight the Suns in WCF but it looks like the momentum is also shifted already.

Its just good to see Kawhi and PG13 combo and when they are both having a good night, they are just simply unstoppable. With regards to PG, that is the kind of PG we need to see. Kawhi needs a 2nd scorer and PG filled it in his last 2 games. PG's performance in their last 2 road games against the Jazz isn't that good though and I hope that he will adjust and will continue his performance in his last 2 home games.

Refs owned the broom so they decided to sweep it.  Grin Eject Jokic with flagrant 2? Wow! It's like killing the Nuggets team. I stopped watching after that. Kind of like a scripted scenery.
Flagrant 2 was a bit harsh and it was 1 at worse but to imply the game was rigged by the refs was uncalled for. Nuggets were already down at that point and Jokic was too careless. What was he thinking swinging down his arm like that?
It is a closeout game and they let Jokic get ejected just because of that play. I know that the foul is a little bit reckless but giving him a Flagrant 2 for a close out game?? The refs are very soft right now making this league very soft. Small bumps leading to fouls and even ejections. It must be a Flagrant 1 only but.. it is what it is. Its over already.

Will the Suns have a chance of beating the Clippers or Jazz?
Yes unelss CP3 gets injured.
Lets take note that CP3 suffered a shoulder injury in the First Round against the Lakers. So far the Suns are in a 7 win streak and this is CP3 healthy. If the Point God suffered this injury again against the winner of Jazz/Clippers then they will be in a huge trouble.

With the performance of Suns in the 2nd round, I'm thinking too that they have a chance of beating the Jazz not unless CP3 will be re-injured which is I hope not.
What I don't like with the clippers style of play is too physical that after they did something they will act like they never did something wrong, like what they did to Donovan the last contact is paul George which is a bit for me intentional, those things limit Mitchell movement and I'm 100% sure that he is injured and just trying to play, hurting player just to take advantage should not be tolerated, if not other players will pretend its just a simple foul.

Its normal in basketball since if your soft you will be the hard target of physical players and you cannot last long in the league. Maybe the best thing Jazz to do is to do a good adjustment regarding on physicalities, they need to muscle up to get a good advantage to Clippers.

Now the pressure is in the side of Jazz and I'm seeing an intense game 5 on this series.

That's what I've been thinking and hope they can catch up when the Suns just sweep the Nuggets. Not that but have you seen that Jerry West passing onto the NBA logo? (LOL). What a nice looking posterizer again from "The Klaw".

I hope Kawhi will be just fine when he hit his left knee to Ingles, haven't seen yet the conference about his condition but I'm hoping he'll be fine.

Sixers leading the Hawks at halftime, although they've cut the lead 13, it ballooned to 18, thanks to their good shooting in the last 5 minutes. Trae Young only scored 8 points in the first 2 quarters as Simmons is playing good defense on him. Seth Curry is also waxing hot in 3. They don't have answers to Joel Embiid except doubling him up if he touches the ball. But his fade away is clicking. Let's see if Hawks can turn things around in 3rd.

They managed to tie the series today with a close score. they are now tied at 2-2. Game 5 will be in Philadelphia I wonder who will gonna win that games since they both can win at each other's home court.
