I agree. That was absolutely the right move. But I wasn't expecting that from Quin.

Yeah I think Quin is too passive and trying to be their friend so he often doesn't make the tough call or put his foot down like he should. I know they really like him but it isn't enough to get their best performance all the time. I'd rather have him occasionally pop and lead us to the championship than have him be everyone's buddy and we go down meekly in round 2 or something.

I would also like to see him go after the refs now and then. Get riled up. Fire up his team. And for **** sake use your ****ing challenges Snyder! This is the ****ing playoffs, this is not the time to keep any of your weapons holstered!

I'm thinking Rev was right about us being soft.

Ja is much better than anyone thought, and we don't do well with the beatdown tactic used against us here.

Game 4 will tell a lot. Either we finally get a statement game or we have to go all seven.

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

So glad we won. So huge to win that first game at their place.

And that tech on their coach in the first half on that Brooks foul on Don... what an idiot. Brooks cannot be allowed to run into the legs of a 3 point shooter as he elevates. What coach in their right mind gets that upset about that clear and obvious call?

This coming from the same guy who asked for a replay of when Brooks slammed into Ingles on a three point attempt. Lol. I still can’t believe he challenged that call

Grizz have had many opportunities to give up. and they've been clawing back every time. Their failure yesterday was one of lack of poise and experience, not grit. I don't see them throwing in the towel.

Ya, Ja lost all objectivity when he decided to commit basketball suicide challenging Gobert twice in a row at the end. Lol

When did Grayson Allen become automatic from 3? If I were them I’d play with the idea of benching JV and starting Jackson at C and bringing Allen into the starting lineup to fight shooting with shooting.

He did go 0-6 the game before, and sitting JV for Jackson is a horrible idea, JV is a big part of what they do and is usually part of their best lineup, and Jackson has been really really bad this series.

True. But He’s shooting 39 percent this year, higher than Mitchell and higher than Conley’s career averages. Is 39 percent not very good? He shot 32 percent from 3 with us.

Edit: I honestly haven’t kept up much with league stats this year. But I think 39 percent is pretty darn respectable. Not automatic but pretty good. Right?

He’s pretty close to Bogie. Not as high as Royce or Jingles.

He tends to give up more than he gets.

This is funny because it’s true. Hubie is a huge Grizzlies homer.

No one thought Don looked funny last night after that fall? Sat A LOT. Lots of standing around, very slow jogging with what appeared to be some favoring/limping to me. Yes, I know he looked explosive a couple of plays and fine at those moments...but he didn’t appear right to me.

Really hoping we win next game and close them out at home so he can get 5-7 days of rest and rehabbing.

It's about the most open rooting I've ever seen for a team in a game, but honestly, I didn't mind too much. Ok, parts were irritating, but at least I get it.

 

[DasJazz]

I guess at the end of the day, the Jazz really did whoop that trick.

 

[DasJazz]

They used to play it in the arena during the grit and grind era. So there is history but just thought as a league they were above this.

I get that most people aren’t necessarily thinking “hey beating women is awesome“. Just feels like maybe we shouldn’t ignore it since it’s literally the chorus of the song. Certainly shouldn’t think it’s lit... IDK

Well hold on now... If all the Jazz fans are racist due to heckling players, then all the Grizzlies fans are women beaters cause they all yelled in harmony together to "whoop that trick!"

Makes sense to me.

 

[Sean]

Also bears mentioning the song was written by a guy with a long history of beating up women.

John Lennon?

Haha. Hubie coached high school baseball in the town that l live in during the Eisenhower Administration.

That's not a joke...the Eisenhower Administration.

Yeah to listen to him you'd think they already swept us and are just waiting for the next round. And Mitchell is ok, but Morant is just amazing!!
