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

[Ron Mexico]

If Jazz somehow come back and win that's a big blow to Memphis. Jazz are playing/shooting awful and they are playing very well. If they still can't finish and win this we might easily sweep them after that. But that's a big if, with how this is going.

I don't think so. Memphis is a resilient team with a lot of heart.

If such a thing happened to the Jazz, on the other hand, I'd agree.

The longer this series goes the more confidence a young team gets. We’re getting our asses handed to us and Morant hasn’t gone nuclear.

This is an issue. Tonight’s game should have been a gimme... this is how the we believe teams get going.

Weird that you contradicted that then.

Never did. My whole point has been that Favors comes in and the Jazz play worse, he's negativity impacting the team on a regular basis.
Tonight he played as good as he realistically can and the team is -18. The team doesn't play well when he's on the floor. Makes you wonder if the Jazz need to adjust the system more when Rudy's out.

Nateboz. Why aren’t you complaining about other players tonight. Clarkson playing like ***. where you at? Or is it you only have something against Favs?

 

[NUMBERICA]

We won't lose the series even if Mitchell doesn't play a single minute let alone get swept. We are getting good looks, just need to make them and defense will get even better.

They aren't putting the shots up fast enough. They aren't playing with much urgency. They look dazed. Is anyone gonna play with some ****ing fire? Vacation's over, homies.

Conley back in for final 7
Let's see what he can do

This series will go 6... no matter what happens tonight.

Mitchell doesn't come back and there is a real chance we get swept. Unless we can somehow shake off the rust. But now we lose the home court advantage and the road gets tougher.

I think you're overreacting.

Freaking absence of spida was a big mistake in hindsight.

The longer this series goes the more obvious it is going to get that Grizzlies are overmatched. All the confidence in the world can't help them against talent in a 7 game series.

heaven forbid a fan do that in the post-season

This game was lost after we built a lead and let them come back. Grizz winning this game gives them the confidence to beat us in the series.

Also, we just lost home court advantage. I know it’s debatable how much that actually matters with arenas operating below full capacity. But in normal times this type of **** up would be epic. The number 1 seed just lost home court advantage and its best offensive player might not even play in the series due to injury concerns? Uh oh

Never did. My whole point has been that Favors comes in and the Jazz play worse, he's negativity impacting the team on a regular basis.
Tonight he played as good as he realistically can and the team is -18. The team doesn't play well when he's on the floor. Makes you wonder if the Jazz need to adjust the system more when Rudy's out.

"Guys when LeBron goes to the bench his teams play worse, whoever it is that backs him up and is never on the court with him must really suck."

Kindergarten-level analysis.

 

[LogGrad98]

On top of all of it the officiating has been complete ****. Of course with this season it's not a surprise.

I will copy and paste what you wrote

It's a stat that displays how effective a PLAYER is while on the floor.

It's not though. It's a stat that shows how effective a team is playing while a group of players are on the floor.

But They’re not overmatched when Mitchell isn’t playing.

**** you you ************!! I'm a fan and I'm entitled to be unreasonably pissed and unreasonable excited whenever the **** I want! Sonofabitch!
