Mitchell is barely top 3 on their current roster

Ugh! I wouldn’t go THAT far. Other than Gobert and Ingles there is no other player on the Jazz roster that’s better than Mitchell.

I dunno. I felt this way prior to the post-season, but this is two in a row where he's scoring at a very elite level.

Did it last year against Denver and now he's doing it again against OKC.

Ingles and Gobert might be better regular season dudes, but not sure about playoff ball.

I think Conley is

I love Conley but he was a great player back in the day no way he’s better than Mitchell right now. He’s an important piece of this Jazz team but definitely not a top 3 player on it.

Conley was definitely better for the Jazz during the regular season. I’m just not a big Mitchell fan. I don’t think he’s that valuable.

Suns in 4!

The Jazz has a 2-1 (without Conley) lead so he must be pretty valuable.

Them being up 2-1 says literally nothing about Conley’s value to the team

Conley had insane bpm this year. He was a top 5 player by a lot of metrics.

Donovan is underrated a lot imo. He can create shots on an elite efficiency in the playoffs which is one of the most valuable traits you can have in the playoffs. I'd argue Gobert is better as he is a top 10 defense on his own. Love Jingles but he ain't better than D Mitch.

I hope Collin can develop into what Mitchell is now. He seems to be on a better trajectory relative to age.

How this play wasn’t a flagrant is beyond me.

NBA refs are truly awful.

All one has to do to get an illegal screen called is flop and cry. Perfectly good screen, but if you pretend you got hit hard, you'll get the call.

Meanwhile, a blue billion actual illegal screens get missed. Big men just running down the lane blocking someone out the whole way...never called.

The Milwaukee offense is just so bad in the playoffs.


They have no ways to generate different looks if 3s aren't falling and Giannis isn't getting to the rim on his own.

There's nothing else.

Kevin Durant is the ultimate front runner.

Watch him play when he’s not flanked by HoF’s.

Guy is the human equivalent of a queef.

I'm rooting for PHX. I basically hate all of the teams left in the East except for Milwaukee, but they need a coaching change.


So I was really hoping to see a full strength vs. a full strength Philly in the conference Finals.
