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

Agreed

We are in trouble.

Yep, we should have punched them in the mouth when we had the chance, now they have belief and we're the ones backpedaling.

It takes 4 to win... not over.
That said, it was a known concern that to live and die with the trey not always translate to postseason ball...
I consider MEM a tough team with some guys playing at a very good level and a thick skin for this playoff business...
They're not gonna fold any time soon. You have to beat them.
Hope our guys are ready next time, mental and physically ready. They were not last night.
And I expect they don't play Mitchell if they have doubts on his ankle.

If Mitchell doesn't play Wednesday then I'm gonna lose it

The Jazz announced he is playing on Wednesday. As if we can take their word for it now.

I think Mitchell was enraged he wasn’t playing - his ankle is fine it doesn’t make sense. If his ankle wasn’t fine why say he’s playing that afternoon then change your mind??

I'm not worried about us losing the series; mainly because Rudy's rage will put fear into anyone on this team who doesn't play playoff basketball.

I feel like Ingles and Niang will play really well game 2 and Conley won't be as bad as in game one (not saying he'll play lights out but he won't be as meh).

Favors played great game one - I don't expect him to have double-digit rebounds every playoff game but if he can do 70% of what he did game one for the rest of the series it's a solid contribution.

I look forward to seeing DM out there - I don't know what to expect but I'm excited. If Mitchell plays fairly well I would be surprised if the Grizz win another game.

 

[Max Porter]

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

I agree to only lose after that **** storm..if the jazz drop game two ok be mad..be really mad. The bigger issue is then keeping Donovan out when we all know he was ready to play. Makes no sense to me. Even playing Donovan ten minutes last night would’ve won us the game

We will win this series ... Grizzlies are fools gold they can't do that to us again. They were lucky

Game 1 is the easiest loss in a series to put behind you and handle business moving forward.

Yeah. Loss #4 is when you really get in trouble.
