Jazz vs. Grizzlies game thread (8:00 pm MTN)

[Jingled]

Conley is out for the Jazz. Morant and Brandon Clarke are out, Kyle Anderson is doubtful and Dillon Brooks is questionable for the Grizzlies.

Expected starting lineup: Mitchell/Ingles/Bogey/O'Neale/Gobert

 

[The Thriller]

A game where we don’t fall behind by 20+ would be nice.

 

[homeytennis]

Did they amputate Conley's leg?

 

[DasJazz]

Right the ship game. Time to get back to property Jazz basketball.

Yeah, just the kind of competition we need right now. Good game for Exum and Mudiay to get some good reps. That being said, anxious to see Conley back on the court.

This will contend for the best Jazz lineup.

Make or break game. A lot on the line tonight.

This. I know this is over reactionary and hyperbolic but if we lose tonight then I'm gonna start to lose interest........
Until we go on a win streak again lol

Throw another PG on the trash heap. We collect PGs like POGS.

 

[Jazz4ever]

Grizz have such a bright future. Morant (20), Jackson (20), Clarke (23). Must be nice.

I never thought I would be saying a game against the Grizzlies would be make or break lol. But it just really feels that way. Because of the way we've been smacked by teams recently, because of mood of the players in interviews, because of the way some of the players seem to be disconnected on the floor, because of the bad body language we've seen from players, and then because we've had two days off at home with time to think and time to practice.

It just feels like everything is coming to a head. And it's either going to be a huge chemistry building game where everyone pulls together and the team makes a statement. Or something very bad will happen.

That's how far we have fallen

15+ point win.

I won’t even entertain thoughts of a loss.

 

[Jazzmix]

Morant is out and we play at home, it should be a win even with our struggles. It would be great to build a large lead early so we can see something more of Brantley.

Just freaking play Brantley instead of Niang. Lead, no lead. Don't matter. He has to be better than Niang. He literally couldn't possibly be worse.

Blow out loss.

This. Niang shouldn’t play

 

[Getting Traded]

I don't understand why people think Niang is so bad. I've seen a lot worse. I'd be willing to wager he has a better +/- than Green. Not to say he's better but you can't fault his effort, which is Green's problem -- he disappears for stretches of games.

Niang is actively targeted on defense and doesn't have the ability to do jack **** about it. He doesn't bring anything to the table besides tenure and when his shot is occasionally on. Niang is worthless and is lucky to be in the league.

Exactly this. Teams target him on defense and cannot stay in front of his man for the life of him. It usually ends with him fouling and giving them an and 1
