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

Added to Calendar: 05-23-21

I'm beyond livid toward game one. I hope the Jazz are even angrier than I (no doubt Rudy is) and expect them to stomp a mud pit into the Grizzlies' *** the rest of the way.
 
I'm still pissed.
However let me ask everyone a question:

If I were to tell you all that in a playoff game we didn't have Donovan, we had our second worst shooting game of the season, bogey scored zero points in the first half, we had major turnover problems, Clarkson played horrendous, the refs ****ed us all game and Rudy fouled out in 25 minutes of play, what do you think the score would have been?

If I knew all that before the game started I would say the score would be something like 110-88. Maybe even worse.

I don't know if that's the best Memphis can or will play or not but I do know that's the worst the jazz can or will play.

And I have a question: how does it work with officiating crew? Is it the same guys throughout the whole series or they rotate between different matchups? Should we be prepared that the officiating will stay the same through this round?
I think they are trying to minimize travel so it will be at least the same for both home games here. Might be a different team in Memphis but again will likely be the game team for both home games there.

I get what you are saying but not gonna take any moral victories. We got punched in the mouf.

Answer the question though. What would you predict the score to be if you knew all of that ahead of time?
Not that it matters, I'm just curious what people would predict

It may be one of those things where you knew we'd have a bad shooting game in there but because it was game one its exaggerated.

They can play better... we played pretty bad so not sure we will play worse than that.

Prolly like a 15ish point loss.
 
Agreed.
Having agreed though, I'm extremely confident we win this series and think we will win the next 4 in a row.

I hope so but I'm significantly less confident. Especially after blowing it to Denver last year. No way I thought we were losing that series after going up 3-1.

I want us to beat them down next game. And it would be real helpful to throw the hammer down in games 3-4. Hope that happens but doubt it seeing how hot the Grizz are and how pathetic we looked.

Yeah, but with all respect it was only Memphis. If we had a game like that again Phoenix, Clippers, Blazers etc we would have had garbage time going into the 4th
