Obviously, a nice fightback from the Grizz. However, the Jazz are not the Warriors so i hope we're ready for their bounce back second half as well.

Good news for the Jazz is they played terrible, terrible basketball that first half and are only down 6.

If they decide to not be ass in the second half they should take this game. However, if they dont show up Memphis is going to take this one.

Remember when Suns thought they were getting Dillon Brooks? Grizzlies glad they never signed off on that one.

Dillon Brooks is sure making a strong case for best perimeter defender in the NBA throughout these playoffs.

Systems are so overrated in the playoffs. Utah wont be shooting like they did from 3 in the regular season

Yup. Clarkson and Bogey are the main suspects. Royce wasn't too hot, either.

They need to move him it’s just not working out. They have proven they can win without him playing decent or at all. Cash out now and get some win now pieces because the roster is already loaded with young players so draft picks will do little help.

Guys he has only played 11 games this year because of injurie's and is only 21. You don't trade him with the potential he has.

Yeah, can easily see the Jazz not showing effor in the second half. They are that good of a team that they can give away this one game and still be favored big to win the series.

Half time is going to be "ball movement, ball movement, ball movement." Utah has two players with assists, Conley with 5, and Niang with 1.

His availability is another consistent concern and reason to deal him before a payday that’s needed after next season

Wasn't buying the "this going to be a boring series" narrative going into this game. Lots to like about Memphis hustle, Ja and Brooks. Up and coming team but I expect the Jazz are going to edge them out in the second half. Games like these are the ones where the Jazz miss Mitchell's dynamic scoring. My guess is Mitchell isn't going to see the floor for a couple of games or more - stupid to risk anything given the high likelihood of the Jazz taking this series without him.

They don't call it 'grit and grind' for nothing.
