Game Thread May 23, 2021 07:30PM MT: Jazz vs. Grizzlies - Game 1

[LogGrad98]

They should hold Mitchell out one more game just to make sure he is ok. We want him to be 110%. 100% isn't good enough tbh

They need to hold him out 10 games so he comes back at 200%. Then we will win all the things!

This game proved that we are just an average playoff team without a superstar on offense. Playoff basketball is different.

And I think the refs called the game pretty favorably for Memphis. I don't see them playing that well and being called that well all series.

Cue the DL interview about getting major free agent acquisition Donovan Mitchell for the playoffs

Lololololololol
I literally laughed. Thanks.
Exum was our huge free agent acquisition many off seasons

Credit to the Grizz as they played good, harsh basketball, while our guys missed a big bunch of open looks and didn't match the intensity util too late.
Two thigs I did't expect at this time: Hard to believe Coach long leash on Jordan, and the real bad one... Rudy not being ready for this stage.

I don't feel like Royce is the type of player to get fired up over something like that.

If anything I think it'll have the opposite effect on him.

I don’t have a lot of faith in Royce to begin with. Dude is the opposite of clutch.

 

[bopahull]

How did we not get Bogie more involved earlier. With Mitchell out, he needs to be option #1. Haven't we learned that over the last month?

Bogey spent the first 3 qtrs passing the ball to the Griz and bricking shots.

I'm ****ing pissed right now.

If we lose this series then we never had a chance to win a title.

@nateboz you still had the worst posts in this thread.
Think about that.

If we lose this series, Bogie and Royce have to be out the door

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

The Jazz are that soft. So they better at least hit their shots.

Remember when we had a chance to get Torrey Craig for free but let phoenix get him instead... we did land the home run Matty Ice who fills the need of 4th or 5th small guard that we so desperately needed to fill.

Bogey is the reason we were in the game in the 4th lol.

The reason we lost was turnovers, plain and simple. We were in control and then we had a bunch of turnovers, several by Bogey. Then in the beginning of the 4th we were coming back and again more turnovers, this time by Clarkson who took some bad shots when he should've passed the ball. That's where he needs to improve, his court awareness. He takes a lot of bad shots with two and three guys on him when he should be passing the ball.

If Don plays, Brooks is in foul trouble in the 1st quarter.

He did.
Said the guys the jazz put on him couldn't guard him.

His quote was something like "the guys guarding me couldn't guard me".
Almost verbatim

Yeah but our guys are pretty soft so they probably like “yeah we prolly can’t guard him”.

I feel like you're taking my post out of context.

For real. How stupid is our FO? The offseason need for a perimeter defender was obvious. And then a chance to fill the need for free.

Dumb.

 

[JazzMan4Life]

I know we played like ****.
But everyone needs to chill.
We got this.

Brooks should foul out every game. I don’t understand why there are clearly two sets of rules for certain guys... homeboy was mugging guys all night and then Mike gets two touch fouls on him. Straight garbage.

 

[Alpy]

I feel like some of y’all didn’t watch the game tonight... we will hopefully win the series... I’d say it’s likely... but we got our *** handed to us tonight on our home floor by a team with no rest. This goes at least 6. .. we may be in for a 7 game series after this ****.

Congratulations to Memphis. They played well, we struggled with the foul trouble all night, we shoot from three with a very low percentage. Despite that, we almost beat them. As I said, if DM returns, I think we will win this easily.
