Be careful what you wish for, I guess, but I hope Memphis is easier to beat than the Warriors. I know little about the Grizzlies.

Another fast start and blown lead by Utah.

49 - 43 halftime, Memphis.

The Jazz lost a 14 point lead.

I think Morant is good. I like Jackson and I think Valanciunas is good.

And I’m not talking about basketball. I feel that those three will play well and then focus. I think Morant is both professional and mature.

As far as Brooks and Anderson, I think I feel about them the way people feel about Ingles and Crowder. It would be hypocritical for me to take too much from that. And for the record, I’m talking about before he was shooting well.

Incidentally, I think Forrest should lose his game day check. I think any player who gets a technical without logging a second of game play, should lose their game day check. I know that the game would be played differently, but he got a technical in the second quarter and with 24 seconds to go we were down by one.

Favors looked like the beast of old. He had a spring in his step.

Clarkson was abhorrent. Absolute tunnel vision for himself.

Royce is Ronnie Brewer 2.0. Absolutely castrated the offense and teams leave him wide open.

I don't think Jackson is that good overall, as a player.

Yeah, I have no idea about him in general, but I liked how he didn’t showboat or get into it with the crowd when he made his big three. Confident but not annoying. Again, I know we have had our annoying guys, too.

So, how do you feel about how the game went?

Jazz up big.

Then they trail big.

Then they almost come back.

Played poorly in many ways and lost by three. They played well in many areas and won by three. Adjust. Don‘t go 0-8 from 3 Clarkson and we’ll win 4 in the series.

This was a great moment and surprise.

This is what sports are about.

It looks like TNT is giving out awards this year individually, and there isn't an awards show after the playoffs.

Like they used to do.

I like this format, as it leads to more personal moments.

Here's the Flamethrower shirt.


Looks like they added it April 6th.


Here's an unofficial Jingled shirt.

Can a Jazz player wear an unofficial shirt at a NBA game, while on the bench?

I think it’s possible. Depends on the size of the shirt. Players are pretty big. I don’t think they should where official shirts, on or off the bench. Only referees should.
