Crazy that only Phoenix was able to hold onto home court.

Great game by the Grizz. They are a lot of fun. Well deserved win.

Jazz played like complete rubbish and still had a chance to win this. Hopefully this loss (which they deserved) knocks some sense into them and wakes them up. Still think they can take it in 5, unless the Jazz continue to rest Mitchell. If they keep resting him, this could go 7.

I wanna say “well they didn’t have Donovan” but do you really need him to beat the grizzles of all teams?? Lol. If there’s one series you would think Donovan would get to rest, it would be this one

Rudy might have the worst contract of alltime for a player that didnt go through an injury after a massive contract

how the hell are you a Dpoy and are constantly in foul trouble when it matters in the playoffs? He doesnt even do anything on offense besides get offensive boards and roll to the rim

brooks could've even dribbled over to the corner and took some more time off the clock if he wanted.

The exact play with Warriors

That’s what he shoulda done 2 dribbles and heave to the rafters


If you try that and get the timing wrong you look like a real idiot though...

Jokes aside, a good trade would be Jackson jr, Anderson, Brooks for Ben Simmons and Thyuble.

Highly doubt Memphis does this. Simmons is a horrible fit next to Ja and why trade Brooks after what he’s been doing? And on top of that, why sell low on JJJ

Fun game, disappointed Utah did not get the win but the Grizzlies are entertaining. I do think this is the only one they get, though. Everything went there way, Gobert and Conley with early foul trouble, Rudy fouling out, Utah having terrible issues with turnovers in the second quarter (at one point it was 6 out of 8 plays), Utah's worst shooting night from three that I remember seeing all season, and Mitchell out.

Looking forward to the rest of the series, though, and hope that there are some more close games in it.

He's better at guarding wings than guards, tbh

What a smart foul by Anderson earlier. Totally got in Bojan's head for that last play

I guess you're referring to West only.

Everyone was so sad to see curry go...

It's going to be so boring without curry...

Jazz will just sweep the grizz...

So many bad takes...

Grizz are for real.

Game 1's did not disappoint. Cannot remember ever getting this many great games to start the playoffs. Even the Sixers/Wizards and Nets/Celtics still feel interesting and those were supposed to be the squashes.

Congrats to Memphis. What a hard-nosed team. And Jazz fans should feel fine. Barely lost with no Mitchell, half a game from Gobert, and you'll never shoot that poorly again all year.

Three very narrow wins in a row for the Griz. Their luck probably runs out now, but bowing out in 5 or 6 is a lot better than finishing the season in tenth place.
