The last matchup is finally determined. Jazz are rested after a week off. Grizzlies had to lay it all out to make the playoffs.

Series begins on Sunday evening. It might even still be on TNT, but lets see...

NBA TV will have the full coverage of this one :roll:

Going down as the top 10 most boring series of all time, Jazz sweep.

This series will be great for people who have problems with sleeping as my god this series is going to be so boring as we all know the Jazz will win in 4 games.

It should be said these two teams have already played a series this season. Utah vs Memphis 3 games in 6 days. Utah swept them.

Everyone says this series will be boring. You forget how boring any first round series in the east is.

I'm a Jazz fan, and I'm already kind of bored. Honestly, I think the Grizzlies are going to get shelled. They play hard though, so they might scratch out a win.

Griz have been playing good basketball for a week. Jazz finally get mitchell back and may be rusty game one.

Best record in the league. Least amount of time to know your opponent. Lol

It's a shame that none of the players in this series are considered "big names", because this is actually an intriguing matchup. Moreyball vs young athletes. I expect the Jazz to win in 5 but there should be several good games in there.

I don’t think this series is gonna be as boring as people make it seem to be. You’ve got 2 electric guards in Mitchell and Ja, Gobert vs JV, Brooks hounding Mitchell on defense. There’s some interesting things to look for

If I'm the Jazz I consider letting MItchell keep healing. I dont think they need him.

Depending on how healthy Mitchell will be determines a lot. The Jazz beat the Grizz without Mitchell once but I was close. If JJJ can have any type of breakout performance to swing the tide then maybe the Grizz steak 2 games

5 games max. The average margin of victory will be 12+ points

Mike Conley vs Ja

Franchise PG past and present, pretty solid narrative tbh

In for playoffs JV.

Jazz in 5. Grizzlies will surprise the Jazz in Game 1, or come out with heart and the home crowd at game 3 to steal one.

Catchall · Post #16 » by **Catchall** » Sat May 22, 2021 4:47 am

Mitchell has averaged 35 ppg against Memphis this season.
Gobert is averaging 16/12/2b.

Jazz in 4. Every game will be a 10+ point Jazz win.

I think the Grizzlies can steal a game or two especially if Donovan isn't 100% healthy. I'll say Jazz in 6

Oh how I have missed these...

Grizz already won by making it this far they have nothing to lose.

One of the youngest teams to ever make the playoffs the experience of just playing in a series even if they get swep will help them in the future.

Who wins the series?
