Old school basketball on display with the Memphis Grizzlies....This season Quin Snyder went from a PNR guru to a defensive minded coach when it became obvious the key to Jazz wins was focusing on defense.

A big deal was made of Golden State being the #1 defensive team in the NBA (as well as #1 in offense) but the Memphis defense is a physical style of defense and looking pretty tough...The Utah trio of Gobert,Favors and Exum ,wont be as physical but they have length.....

What I like is Memphis doesn't try to match Golden State in going small ,they stay big with Koufos ....this is what I didn't like over the year when Coach Snyder tryed to match up small ball with Booker and got overpowered ...Rather see Utah impose their size and length on NBA smallball lineups next year

Basically agree with this and it is encouraging. Our guys will not be an exact match of the 3 Grizz, but the general idea of being big vs small is the same. With Rudy and Favs, Jazz are locked into being big.

Booker was really about the only useful "big" we had on the bench, at least after NoDefense was traded. Who else was Quin supposed to throw out there? Cooley was about useless.

LOL,my bad ...just to clarify ,it's written and said the Europeans teach the basics more than the Americans ,since Gobert is French I include him as European and he already has the mindset to be a sweet passing big ,ala the Gasol Brothers

LMAO..OKay then. It must be written in that Euros are soft then right? CLown

I think our guys are already superior on the defensive end. But they have a long way to go, offensively. And Dante longer than any of the three to match Conley, who I've been saying the last couple of years is very underrated.

Not sure on the direct comparison of players but it is encouraging to see them do well. Defense first and no superstar scorer. Pretty much what I think we can be although I think our guys have more upside. This whole playoff has been encouraging to me. As the game slows down even more in the playoffs our style is going to be even more potent.

This might be a little unpopular to say, but i honestly think favors and gobert have more upside than zbo and gasol

Might be unpopular to say in Memphis. Not here.

Did we ever play the griz at full strength? Seems like every time we played them Z-bo or Conley were out.

No question in my mind they have more potential, but having potential and living up to it are two different things.

Did you guys see Haralabob say Conley is better than Lillard?
