Social Media Reacts To Jazz’s Game 6 Collapse

The Jazz allowed 81 points in the 2nd half

Jazz fans would be insane to hang that on Gobert.

Obviously he was far from great tonight, but the Jazz are asking the leagues best rim protector to defend Terance Mann shooting corner threes all night.

That was a personnel problem, not a personal problem.

— Ben Anderson (@BensHoops) June 19, 2021

Clippers deserve all the credit for stepping up without Kawhi in the lineup. Next man up… But these are epic losses for the Jazz.

— Geoff Schwartz (@geoffschwartz) June 19, 2021

Jazz went on the road in game 6 and shot 50% from the field and 50% from 3. They made 21 three-pointers!

And lost to Reggie Jackson and Terance Mann.

Rudy Gobert getting exposed defensively the last 4 four games and I stated early in the year that the Jazz Analytic philosophy would doom them. The @suns exposed it all year! #jazzvsclippers

The Jazz are who we thought they were, the team that has regular season success but gets figured out in the playoffs

— Trevor Lane (@Trevor_Lane) June 19, 2021

They were up 2-0, they had home court, the shooters were out there, and Kawhi went down. Just a woeful conclusion to the Jazz’s season.

— Josh Eberley 🇨🇦 (@JoshEberley) June 19, 2021

The Jazz got Clippered by the Clippers.

I believe I will never see the Jazz win an NBA title. Yet, I still love them.

Terance Mann getting a piercing standing ovation after dropping a career-high 39 points to spark a gigantic comeback to somehow win two in a row against the Jazz without Kawhi Leonard and send the Clippers to the Conference Finals.

Heartbreaking meltdown for the Jazz after a pretty incredible season.

What a game. LA Clippers finish with a 131-119 win over the Utah Jazz both to eliminate the top-seeded Jazz in 6 games and to advance to their first West Conference Finals in franchise history.

Jazz fans therapy session.
Let it all out.
This is a safe place.

The Clippers trailed by 25.

Tonight was the largest comeback in a series-clinching win over the last 25 seasons. Nobody had even come back from 20+ down to win a series in that span.

The Utah Jazz are going to have nightmares of this series for a while. They're going to see Terance Mann in their sleep.

You know it’s a great player when he loses the game and they keep the camera on him during all the hugs #donovanmitchell #jazz

Heart-wrenching loss for the Utah Jazz. For 5 months they were the picture of what team-based basketball should be, only to pick the wrong two-week stretch to go into a banged-up, perimeter-defenseless funk. Would have been nice for the Jan/Feb Jazz to have had a national stage.

— Mike Benischek (@BenischekPJ) June 19, 2021

Glad I get to wake up tomorrow knowing the Jazz won’t be competing for a championship yet again.

Let’s get the elephant in the rm out of the way. Donavon Mitchell and Jazz, had a 3-1 lead on Nuggets last yr and blew it, up 2-0, leading by 25 in gm 6 and lose. Spida, wants to be considered a superstar that can’t happen on his watch.

The Clippers ran Rudy Gobert off the floor only the Jazz didn’t take him off the floor. Zoinks.

Are the Jazz still going to wonder why they don't get any respect?

I won’t believe the Jazz can win an NBA title until they’ve won at least 3 NBA titles.

I apologize profusely for believing in and defending the Utah Jazz.

It will not happen again.

The Jazz have a 7 footer who can’t get a bucket over a 6 footer. And that allows their opponents to go small and just put too many offensive players/shooters on the court.

— Brando Simeo Starkey (@BrandoStarkey) June 19, 2021

I know Draymond watched the last two games of that Jazz series thinking he should have at least two more DPOYs.

The Jazz had the best overall record all year and got bounced in the 2nd Round. See how hard it is to win a title.

— Chris Palmer (@ChrisPalmerNBA) June 19, 2021

It's really hard being a Utah Jazz fan. For the first time since Stockton and Malone I was excited… I thought we had a team that could go the distance. But after seeing THAT display against the Clips I'm think maybe I'm doomed to be bitter about Utah basketball forever and ever

— Sean Finnegan (@shotbyfinnegan) June 19, 2021

Six years ago, the Clippers blew a 97.7% win probability in game 6 of the conference semi-finals, and ultimately lost by 12 to the Rockets.

Tonight, they overcame a 97.8% win probability for the Jazz in game 6 of the conference semi-finals. And won by 12. pic.twitter.com/nBpfMxzPa8

— Anthony F. Irwin (@AnthonyIrwinLA) June 19, 2021

What’s Gobert’s contract situation? If I’m the Jazz, I’d try to trade him and see what I can get. The Jazz will never take the next step with him as Mitchell’s co-star. He’s a liability on offense and defensively he’s only effective in the paint.

— Darnell Smith (@Darnell_Smith95) June 19, 2021

The Utah Jazz are the most fraudulent franchise in NBA history.

— Gifdsports (@gifdsports) June 19, 2021

This hurts. But I love this team. I love that Donovan and Conley played hurt. I love that they surprised people this year. Remembering those setbacks in the nineties—climbing the mountain is hard. We will be back and better. #TakeNote

— Spencer Cox (@SpencerJCox) June 19, 2021

If the Jazz were outplayed by Paul George, that’s cool. I’ll even give you Reggie Jackson because he’s been hot, but other than that…you CAN NOT let anyone else beat you. Terance Mann beat the absolute brakes off them.
