As far as I’m concerned I think all the pressure is on the griz for game three. There’s no way IMO the griz win both games at home, and IMO if the jazz take game 3, there’s a great chance they take game four as they would have momentum.

Losing game three could mean the series returning to utah with jazz up 3-1

For playoffs I go one game at a time.

Feels so good to win one. Losing one feels like death.

I don't lean forward on playoff games. Just take each game as it comes.

I've been Jazz fanzing for a long long time.
 
I feel like there were more mind boggling calls in those two games combined than in both series we played against Harden's Houston.
 
I think Mike Conley pick and roll with Rudy was a thing of beauty to watch yesterday and Grizzlies had no answer for that. If I was Snyder I wold run that all game long until Grizzlies find a way to defend it. ( not easy!)

Yes. Utah pick and rolled the Grizzlies to death in the fourth quarter. Everyone keeps mentioning Utah has no answer for Ja but really, Memphis has none for Conley+Gobert. That doesn't even get into the other potential major scoring options.

Memphis fans bitching about foul trouble... Brooks basically bulldozed into DM and Ingles for all three first half fouls... wasn’t like he got a cheap handcheck call.

Last night kinda illustrates my beef with how the nba is officiated... what is the difference between good physical difference and fouling? There is no difference. I can say that last night I thought the refs were at least consistent... anything that looked like a foul was called a foul... even some BS ones like Jackson traveling and Ja stumbling and getting blocked. Foul calls ended up even at 25 and we are one of the least foul happy teams and they are one of the worst. Not sure how memorable his fans can cry so hard.

I think my issue is that it is easier for Ja to have a good night with the shots we are conceding... if Mike stops hitting the off the dribble three for a bit then they have an answer... at least until he starts hitting again.

Well the refs are doing their best to balance out Memphis' fouling by ignoring it and calling phantom fouls on the jazz instead. If they really called fouls as they should by contact rules Brooks would foul out by the middle of the third quarter every game.

Yes.... the Utah Jazz... where there’s more than mere permission for an opposing perimeter player to go nuclear. We seem to invite it. This is what our bend-but-don’t-break defense turns into come playoff time. It’s not fun for a guy like me who prizes defense
