Be ready and be themselves, no matter what.
That’s the attitude the Jazz are adopting in advance of their second-round playoff series against the Warriors, which begins Tuesday night at Oracle Arena.
“We’re going to go out and play. We’re not worried about what role we’ve got,” said 15-year veteran forward Joe Johnson. “We’re just going to go out and play.”
Besides having homecourt advantage, the Warriors are the more rested team. Golden State hasn’t played for more than a week; the Jazz come to Oakland after eliminating the Clippers on Sunday.
