The Golden State Warriors have the Utah Jazz lined up for the second round of the Western Conference playoffs, but the group would've preferred the LA Clippers. 

The Jazz and Clippers went the full seven games, with both teams dealing with injuries to key players but Utah ultimately prevailing on the road. Rudy Gobert made it back just in time, and the Jazz eliminated the Clippers in a double-digit victory.

You'd think the Warriors would've preferred a hobbled Clippers team, reeling from the loss of Blake Griffin to a toe injury. Several players even admitted the Clippers would've been their preferred opponent, but the reasoning is both surprising and honest. 

It's not that the Warriors don't want to face Gordon Hayward, the unstoppably-clutch Joe Johnson or the Eiffel Tower that is Rudy Gobert. It's that Utah's nightlife isn't life at all, it seems. Several Warriors player claimed they would've preferred enjoying Los Angeles and all it offers. 

"There's no nightlife in Utah. Obviously as players, you want to be able to have a little bit of a nightlife but the main focus is winning games. Me personally, I want to get out there because I want to beat the Clippers. That's my former team and my kids are out there," Matt Barnes told Chris Haynes of ESPN. 

Andre Iguodala agreed with Barnes' estimation of Utah's lacking social scene. 

"The problem with Utah is that you're just sitting there and your mind is like dead because in L.A., you still got energy for the game because you're in L.A., you're like, 'Man, this is just the vibe in L.A.' but in Utah, it can kind of lull you to sleep," Iguodala said.

"And then you've slept too long or I'm bored out of my mind and now you got to try to pump yourself up for the game. You know you're in the playoffs and you're supposed to be pumped anyway, but the vibe is just like, 'Man, let's just get out of here.'"

Draymond Green isn't worried about the lack of clubbing options, though. 

"It's the playoffs. Nobody worried about nightlife during the playoffs," Green said. 

Nightlife in Los Angeles remains one of the NBA's silliest topics. The Internet loves to point out teams struggling on the road in Los Angeles because of "LA's nightlife remains undefeated," and the Warriors made a pretty convincing case for that. 

Ultimately this is just one of the most elaborate forms of throwing shade we've seen yet. Dissing the city of Utah and the Clippers in one fell swoop? Clearly the Warriors are playoff ready.
