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

[reignman40]

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.

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.

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.

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

I think you're overreacting.

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

Jesus. Your posting tonight matches the **** we put on the floor perfectly.

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.

This is just plain hubris at this point. I think Utah is still favored to win but Memphis isn't just going to roll over and, as said upthread already, the longer they hang around, the more likely an upset happens.

We already lost home court if we don't pull it out tonight. This is exactly how GSW and Memphis actually pulled off the 1/8 upsets in years past.

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.

I think we went down some slippery slope. Not making the 3s led to hesitation and turnovers. We are continuing to get good shots and are at least taking them right now even if they don't go in. We won't be shooting this badly against Grizzlies again, though.

This.

if we used the +- the way nate described, Bane > Dillon Booker

But having seen this game, we all know Booker was the best player out on the court by a long shot.
