We're healthy is because it was very clear that the series dramatically changed once Lue stopped guessing and figured out that going small would completely neutralize jazz strengths on both ends. If Conley and Mitchell we're healthy we would score more points and play slightly better on D... But I don't think we would outscore the clippers. They get a wide open 3 basically any time they want and they are elite at shooting 3s.

Watching the jazz score 17 3s in the first half and only have a 5 point lead was pretty disheartening.

My fear is DL will use injuries as an excuse to keep status Quo which would be a major mistake IMO.

Conley is injury-prone and has been most of his career. Him being injured doesn't feel like bad luck anymore.
