Team Trivia: In the past 30 years the Jazz have only missed the playoffs 4 times. This would be the 5th time if they fail to overtake the Lakers in this final day of the regular season. The Grizzlies have qualified for their 6th trip to the post-season in 18 years of the franchise.

Are the starters going to rest this game?

Assuming clippers win on tuesday, what is the most likely game plan for the grizzly against Utah. I think most of the NBA wants to see the lakers fail.

Go Grizz!

If what you're asking is whether the grizz are going to tank this game on purpose, the answer is no. Are we going to play 30 minutes of the starters? Definitely not. But they need to play to win. If the Jazz are desparate enough I certainly can see them winning a hard fought contest against our bench. But I will be upset if we just roll over and hand them a free game. We're not good enough to coast into the playoffs and turn the switch against the Clippers. We still have a hill to climb.

Whatever happens tonight, it's likely we'll be facing the Clips. I rather just have homecourt advantage in doing so. If not, then the Grizz just have to take their act on the road and fight it out from there.

I don't see how we can get home court adv unless the Clippers lose... but what I read is we need this win tonight for it. I thought we had no reason other than pride/momentum/team-spirit to win tonight (and possible to stick it to the Jazz).

Beat down!!! Go kings, beat La

Kings need to beat the Clips. Be a good way to go out of Sactown with a win.

what's wrong with you guys' fg%? you laid an egg. time to blow up that roster. I really like Favors and Hayward tho man. I think good times are ahead for yall but it's time to find a new superstar in Utah.

Lakers won anyway so even if Grizz rolled over you'd be out.

We are going in against the Clippers who have had our asses every time we play them and on a 7 game win streak. They surely showed zero mercy against the Kings in their last home game ever. We had to be in top form - I am so happy with coach HOLLINS that he kept the troops going full throttle into the playoffs. We dont' have any margin for error. This series is going to be all about 50/50 balls and " WHO CAN GRIND IT OUT?"

Sorry those jazz ain't about this life
