Clarkson giveth and Clarkson taketh. This is a taketh game. One of his worst games of the season so far.

Since exposing people is the flavor of the month let's expose all the casuals who posted when this thread was created proclaiming this would be a boring series and that it would be an easy sweep.

That trick won't work anymore.

Jonas drops back quite a bit now and Memphis is fine swarming the opposition.

JV’s close out has been far better in Memphis. Casey is just dumb n DD is pylon

Chucker, doesnt play defense, cant pass. Horrible, negative impact player when it matters.

I mean we practically got him for free, so I can't complain, but just he's streaky, some nights he's an offensive god, then another night he's a chump.

They've been in playoffs mode for a while now

Normally the young inexperienced team would be overwhelmed by now but they're effectively in like G3 by now

I wasn't sure about play ins at first but I love it now. It is also gonna force top heavy teams that go all in on super stars think about the regular season. An injury's or having to rest stars could possible make you drop into the play in. Like the Lakers this year. And you never know in a knock out kind of tourney what can happen.

Great hustle by the Grizz really playing hard.

They are earning it

Someone bump the thread of that dude that said Utah is the exact type of regular season team to choke like this in the playoffs

eyeatoma wrote:Jazz are frauds. It was clear that they have not been the same team since the all-star break. They were riding on the fact that their team hasn't changed, the Utah altitude home court advantage, and the fact that they were largely unaffected by Covid. Mitchell would probably make a difference here, if he's playoff Donavan, or the one that was playing well right before he went down with the ankle injury.

But hey, atleast you have the DPOY right lol?

I don't think they're "frauds", as much as Memphis's young guys are stepping up.

All season Memphis has lost so many players due to Injury/Covid. They've played great though and still made the playoffs.

But think about it;

Gobert vs Jonas. JV is PERFECT to play against Gobert.

Morant > Conley. Age and skill with the youngster.

Brooks > Bogdanovic. Brooks is such a great defensive player and just beasting.

I don't think Utah will lose the series, but Memphis is going to give them one hell of a gut punch.

Grizz gotta keep their foot on the gas. Cant get too ahead of themselves. Need to close this out

Peregrine01 · Post #373 » by **Peregrine01** » Mon May 24, 2021 3:48 am

This Grizzlies team is for real. Them playing in 2 tight play-in games and beating the Warriors have them playing with very high confidence. Won't be surprised at all if they upset Utah.

Post #374 » by **VCfor3** » Mon May 24, 2021 3:48 am

Brooks needs to come back before long to help us finish this thing off.

Yup, partly attributed to Gobert's limitations

Jazz deserve this loss. This is one of the worst games I've seen them play all season.

If they think they are contenders hopefully this game is a wake up call.

If Mitchell is still injured, there is no reason to rush him back anytime soon. IF he was capable of playing tonight, then this loss is a good dose of karma for resting him.

I really like this Frizz team. Well deserved win.

He was supposed to be back tonight. My guess is he'll be back next game especially if Memphis hold on to win this one.
