WC | Rd. 1| (1) Jazz vs (8) Grizzlies [Jazz win 4-1]

[VCfor3]

Jazz in 5 but it'll be a fun series. Memphis will choke away at least one late lead due to inexperience and focusing too much on just trying not to lose instead of staying aggressive.

[MemphisX]

Hoping the Grizzlies shock the world.

[GrindCityHustle]

I feel like this will be a series where Joe Ingles and Jordan Clarkson will go hot on us. It won't even be about containing Donavan or Rudy.

[Spud2nique]

I’m just happy the Grizz whooped the Warriors.

[The Rainmaker]

I think the Jazz are pretenders, but I don't think the Grizzlies are good enough to expose them so I'll say Jazz in 4 or 5.

[Hardenstepback]

A part of me thinks the Jazz will shock everyone and get to the finals this year. As for this series, Jazz in 4 honestly..

[AussieBuck]

Young athletic, paint scoring team vs veteran, three point bombing team with the best paint protector in the game. Pretty damn good for a 1 v8 matchup.

[MalonesElbows]

By all metrics it should be 5 games at most. The Jazz finished the season 3rd in defense, 4th in offense, along with a league best point differential of +9.3 points, you generally don't see all so high outside a super team.

Why the Jazz could win: More talent. More veteran players. They know exactly what they want to do every possession.

Why the Grizz could win: Jazz have been pretty good all season. The only time they really look bad is when the other team runs them off the floor with superior athletes.

Question of the series: Can the Jazz force this into a slow paced half court game where their superior talent and experience will cary them to victory, Or will Memphis' athleticism prove too much for the Jazz old and undersized and under-athletic-ed players? I think this series is 100% about who can control the pace.

Jazz turnovers (or lack thereof) will be critical. If the Grizz can't force turnovers, then they can't get out and run nearly as much.

[Statlanta]

I hope the Jazz dispatch the Grizzlies quickly. They might be the only shot the West has in defeating the Lakers.

[Catchall]

I'm selfish, but I'm looking for a blowout today. I'd like to see a halftime score in the neighborhood of 74-51. I think Conley and Clarkson go ape ****. Mitchell works his way back. Jazz go 10 deep into their rotation to test a few matchups.

[Skyyr]

Tonight gonna be nasty for the Grizz. Jazz finna feeeeaast!

[babyjax13]

I think this is going to be a fun series, I agree that Memphis can steal one or two. I also really like how Brooks has been developing.

[Bruin]

Mitchell expected to miss game 1. Memphis could steal this one

[SwatLakeCity527]

Mitchell not playing

[Catchall]

Hmm... He's just had a week off, went through full practices and shoot-around.

[Bruin]

Tonight gonna be nasty for the Grizz. Jazz finna feeeeaast!

Idk how you can be this confident after the games we’ve seen so far. With Mitchell out anything can happen, especially if Brooks has a good game. He’s usually either on fire or totally off so we’ll see

[_AIJ_]

This will be a boring series

[RaptorPride]

JV loves going up against bigmen

[Dzon Dilindzer]
