My butt cheeks are already clinched... buckle up bitches this is what its all about.

If Don struggles early I will be in full sweat mode. I am being cornered off in my bedroom to watch this one as my wife is hosting Bunco. Hopefully none of those ladies are offended at the terrible things I yell at the refs and Grizzly players.

It's not, but it's also not a gimme to beat the Clippers. Or the Grizzlies.

No gimmes in the western conference... none. I'm kinda shocked the Clips were so worried about the Lakers that they tanked into a matchup with a team that took them to 7 last year and has a budding megastar.

It can happen, for sure. But that Denver series was in a bubble, and therefore, all the games were screwed up with zero home court advantage for any team.

That Utah series with OKC, though, the Jazz won home court with that win and basically held serve throughout the rest of the series (won two games in SLC, lost game five in OKC and then closed the series out in six at the Viv).

For Utah to win three straight against Memphis, it'll require them to not only win once in Memphis - but twice.

Doubt.

Another difference between that OKC series and this one is that the gap between the 2021 Jazz and 2021 Grizzlies is a hell of a lot larger than the gap between the 2018 Jazz and 2018 Thunder.

Let’s talk about hehestreams. I watch on iOS and since the play-in games and playoffs, when the game gets to the last couple minutes the feed stops. Anyone else having this issue?

Over the last few weeks Hehe Streams has been worthless. So yes, you have company. I've read online that they've been having issues and have been "working on it." But I haven't seen any improvements and it honestly got really frustrating. I tried keeping up with the games via Twitter.

Since the playoffs are nationally televised, I haven't had to use Hehe Streams. I've used Hehe for the past two years and these last few weeks have been the most problematic. I can't wait until this television deal elapses and the Jazz get a big boy deal. I use Youtube TV and love it. Literally the only disadvantage I've found to it has been the lack of Jazz game access. However, I have loved listening to the opposing announcers through Hehe Streams.

Some observations:
  • Steph's Curry's dad is by far the best guy I've listened to. He was very complimentary of the Jazz and offered some actual in-depth analysis. As horrible as Reggie Miller and Mark Jackson are, Dell Curry is just that damn good. I think he does the Charlotte Hornets games.
  • The Rockets announcers were just as dumb as their fans. They were whining one game about our flopping. The dudes who've been calling James Harden games for years were whining about Gobert and Jingles flopping. GTFO...
  • I want to say that the Twolves announcers were really good as well. They're used to crappy basketball and didn't take themselves too seriously.
  • Most announcers really started making fun of Clarkson's chucking about 2 months ago. Basically when his chucking became absurd. If other announcers are recognizing how he's a liability, imagine what scouts and coaches think.

Dell Curry was a Jazz first round pick many, many years ago.

I may just subscribe to YouTube TV. Are they blacking out Jazz games? I remember that being an issue when I did it a couple years ago. Or maybe it was just the NBA TV games.
 
I'm honestly pretty nervous for this one. Donovan hasn't played in 5 and a half weeks and will likely have Dillon Brooks guarding him, I could see him having a really rough night. We have to find a way to cut down the turnovers. If we go down 0-2 in this series we're in trouble.

Mitchell owns Brooks. I expect a 30+ point game from him.

It’s blacked out. I thought I read on here that the tv deal will expire in the next year or two and hopefully the Jazz will have a friendlier package. Either they’ll be on YouTube tv or league pass won’t be blocked.
Having said that, I still love YouTube tv. You can record whatever you want and store it for 6 months. At one point during the bubble we were recording 3 games while also recording 3 normal tv programs. We probably ended up watching maybe 1 of each. But who cares? There’s endless amounts of storage since there’s No Hard drive.

And you can watch any any device. All you need is the youtube tv app. My wife and I were streaming from our iPad in Wyoming. And it’s only like $60 a month. The Comcast package that comes close to that is like more than twice the price.

It’s not 4K but it’s HD. I can’t tell the difference. Aren’t most channels and streaming options “just HD” too? I love youtube tv. Literally the only defect is having no Jazz channel (Rocky Mtn whatever). Hehe has worked for most of the last two years. As soon the Jazz get into YouTube tv or at least stop being blocked by league pass, my tv life will be complete.

Me too. Brooks is a horrible matchup for a first game back.
 
I'm concerned on Don too, but even if Brooks is guarding him... that means someone else is guarding Mike and Joe. Don gave it to him pretty good during the season so I think he will be fine... the rust and physicality will likely be apparent.

This is why I thought they should have played him in Game 1 and eased him into things... if he uses a game to shake the rust and we lose then at least he has shaken off some of the rust. I would ease DM into the game a bit and use him as a decoy.
 
I think the biggest thing is the Grizz dropped and were willing to let us shoot threes off the dribble and we missed a ton... DM gives us one more off the dribble shooter to throw at them. The time when Mike was off the court was so so bad that even if DM is 75% it will help tremendously.
 
Don killed Brooks when they played. That doesn’t necessarily happen again. But there is really no overstating how big it is to get your #1 option back. If Brooks is on Mitchell that means the rest of the team gets easier matchups. It moves everyone down in the peking order which can only be a good thing.
 
This is Playoff Don we are talking about here. The guy with the 3rd highest point total in a single game in playoff history. The guy who scored 38 in a close out game 6 against Westbrook and George.

He will lead us to the promise land. LFG!
