Should Utah just give Ja the 3? No one can stay in front of this guy so might as well

Grizz are my new second favorite team. Just simply "small market dogs" in a super team league. Ja is a joy to watch and Brooks is obviuously coming into his own on both sides of the floor. But, go Jazz. I see a great new rivalry.

If Ja ever gets a reliable jumper and becomes a threat from deep....

Utah cant guard dribble penetration at all. I thought Royce Oneale was their perimeter stopper? He cant guard star players in the playoffs.

Don't know why I didn't think of the comparison earlier, but his ability to get to the rim and the teardrop shot remind me a lot of Tony Parker, except Ja is much more athletic.

So Derrick Rose...

Ja Morant is special, a more athletic Iverson the way he gets to the rim. Grizzly have good building with the combination of Morant and Dillion Brook backcourt.

He's our best perimeter defender, but he's just okay.

It isnt a Grizzlies team unless they suck at shooting 3s

that was their bane during the Grindhouse era. Does their front office not believe in 3s or something? Theyre almost always the worst 3pt shooting team in the playoffs

Gobert getting played off the floor? LOL on that broke narrative

Huh, switching from man to zone and keeping the Grizz guessing

Snyder really is a tactician

I think you'll see the Jazz drop back and not let Ja drive so easily. He's good not only finishing, but dishing as well when he drives.

Jazz seem to have figured out how to play against Valanciunas on both ends.

Ja is superstar in making, I would even say winning wise he more valuable then Zion. Brook extremely surprised me how good he is at both ends. Those two guys have potential to be top 3 backcourt in the league.

Rudy Gobert is +14 in 8 mins. He's been positive all series.

Yeah I hate the "Harden and Curry embarrassed him" crap, like if two of the top 5 greatest offensive players aren't to make everyone look stupid. Gobert is the last line of defense on a Curry or Harden, and they can find ways to score around him. I'm pretty sure Bill Russell would have similar results in Gobert's place.

Or fish for fouls so yeah I agree. I think they already saw Ja's preference going to his left and driving with the scoop layup. Gobert swatted the last attempt he did

Brooks shouldn't be overlooked tho

Who wins the series?
