wow - what a play and a defensive breakdown.

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

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

i have always wanted to see that happen lol, sending a ball to the freaking ceiling to burn clock

i am guessing is allowed in the rules?

Look up Michael Ruffin's career highlights and see how it has worked out in the past.

But in all seriousness I've seen it happen several times.

Grizzlies earned this win. That said, every Quin Snyder series I've watched, he uses the first game to feel things out, test matchups and gather data. I expect some adjustments in Game 2.

Genuinely asking but what adjustments did he make last year? Murray kept on dropping buckets on their head and blew a 3-1 lead. That doesn’t really sound like adjustments to me

[RaptorPride]

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

jonas historically limits rudy's impact in their matchups.

Rudy seriously only went 4-4? Jeeesus

[GSP]

It seems Utah has been a catchup team for a few months now. Not the buzzsaw they were to start the season

always dig themselves into holes through 3pt chucking then get back into games when its too late and the 3s fall

even if they get by Memphis theyre food in the next round against Dallas or Clips

[Catchall]

Grizz may be tired, but they were in much better rhythm offensively than the Jazz. That's one of the worst offensive performances by the Jazz this season.

[skones]

Utah will never be a serious contender when one of your highest paid player has to sit when its clutch time. no cap.

He fouled out.............

[Texas Chuck]

Sorry but anyone slandering Rudy Gobert is as ignorant as those who slandered Draymond. But still only half as ignorant as those slandering Lebron, so don't feel too bad about yourselves.

But seriously stop. You basically put your credibility through a wood chipper when you do this.

[RaptorPride]

Guys Mitchell wasn't playing this isn't over

[babyjax13]

I love that every time Utah loses - regardless of if Rudy has a bad game or not (he really did not this time, and I think two of his last three fouls were bad calls) - people come out in droves to say he is not worth his contract. I think it's a stupid take. He can be a top two player on a championship caliber team, so he is absolutely worth the contract. The question is if Mitchell can be, and I'm not sure he can ... and if you overcome that it is through an excellent supporting cast. We *might* have a good enough one to overcome our shortcomings.

Jazz lost Game 1 against the Nuggets last year and won the next 3 games. Jazz made personnel moves to match up with Denver's size and ran actions to get Mitchell mismatched on guys like MPJ, Monte Morris and Jamal Murray.

Problem is that guys let up defensively when they were up 3-1 and leading by double digits in the 3rd quarter of Game 5.

I hate this bs argument...same excuse made for lebron..

Bs the only data they learned today is a fat L.

The data also tells me next game try to win!

[TD2FutureStar]

Former Raptors dominating in the playoffs. Nice to see

[bebopdeluxe]

Watching Morant and Brooks drive at will and get whatever they want makes me think that the Suns will destroy them should they meet.

I have no idea why Phoenix gets no respect.

Yea Gobert is still a star they just didn't have Mitchell. Gobert is not gonna carry an offence but he will lock down the other team. But JV's gravity is letting players attack Gobert and score on him. Mitchell is gonna have to come in and attack JV and get him in foul trouble to open up Goberts defense.

[LBJKB24MJ23]

Mitchell will be back. this is going to 6-7 games probably

Mitchell was out the final month of the season. Conley was out the final 2 weeks.

The Jazz were healthy the first half of the seaaon, they were not healthy and started resting players in the second half.

Dallas worries me more than the Clippers. Jazz match up well the Clippers. If PG doesn't show up for the playoffs as usual the Clippers will be in trouble. First things first though, Jazz need to take care of business.
