If Mitchell returns, I think we will still win in 5.

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 ****.

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

As it stands right now even with this loss, the 2021 playoffs is the best chance we have ever had to win a title.

I hope he gives us some bulletin board material

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

They better take Donovan off the runway and let him play some ball.

If we lose this series, I am team “blow it up.”

Lol Brooks said players on the Jazz can’t guard him. I hope they are listening.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
