From getting DNP’s earlier in the season to starting a playoff game where the aim was to avoid being swept, Shelvin “The Macksturbator” Mack has come a long way, but in the end, the sweep happened while he was at the helm. The Macksturbator played about as well as could be expected in this game; it’s not really his fault that George Hill was dumb enough to get himself injured while the backup point guard situation in Utah was so dismal. In fact, in my OFFICIAL THINGS TO BLAME FOR THE JAZZ GETTING SWEPT POWER RANKINGS, he’s not even top five:
1. The Golden State Warriors
2. Nightlife
3. Mormons
4. The Refs
5. Joe Johnson
6. Shelvin Mack
7. Three-pointers
8. George Hill
[POWER GAP]
9001. Gordon Hayward
9002. Rudy Gobert
