Gripe about the local Utah media - they're giving up on this game and series for the Jazz, and I don't get it. Yes, Gobert is huge to who they are and what they do, but the Clippers are the team facing deconstruction if their core shows they can't advance in the playoffs. It's expected by the local media that the Clippers are going to be motivated and play their best with their backs against the wall and the Utah media is basically conceding this game for the Jazz and saying the Jazz have done enough earning the split.

That's fine to say and think if you get the split on game 2, but where you control the series I hope the Jazz are looking at it like it's time for them to put their boot on the Clippers' throats. Punch them in the mouth, match the intensity people believe the Clippers will bring, and break their spirit. That Clippers team is fragile. Make them doubt themselves more than they already do. And then go back and defend your homecourt and let that organization dismantle itself - if Paul and Griffin are gone because management doesn't believe they can win with that core, Doc's not sticking around.

The Jazz can do more than win this series. They can weaken a future opponent for years in the future.
