    Grizzlies don't have the fire power or consistency to take this series, as much as I would DEEPLY LOVE that. But maybe they can at least wear them down.

    yeah and you didn't need last nights game to make your point. no one is questioning if the grizz can win games.

    question is if grizz can win 3 more games vs jazz with mitchell or jazz hitting 33% of their 3s

    That might be true, but just want to point out what have the jazz done with Donovan Mitchell, other than choke a 3-1 lead.
    Mike is too old to be a difference maker and Gobert has not carried the jazz anywhere.

    When the Rockets were almost unbeatable, Harden took it to the rim. Then he stopped and they became a church league team.

    Keep in mind that the Blazers last year had to play 5 games of Play In.

    Memphis is young and only played 2 'Play In' games, they are prepared as you can be as a young team.

    As long as Ja keeps on giving, we'd witness. Morant is a beast to be reckoned with.

    They have a Xavier TILLMAN. Clarke is not playing and Melton hasn't had opened scoring.

    Justise Winslow.

    I think they have the fire power, they just a young bunch. Hope for a 7 game series, either way.

    During the fourth quarters of many playoff games in many years due to fatigue, or something. Fell in love with his stepback. Don't try to deny history now. We all watched it with clinched anuses.

    so you're saying we didn't win the chip in 2018 because Harden didn't drive enough?

    you know Harden did had more drives per game than everyone else in the playoffs right?

    Harden 21.3
    WB 20.3
    Lebron 18.5
    SImmons 13.8
    Giannis 12.7

    and he did produce the most points in drives during that years playoffs

    so WB, Lebron, Simmons, Giannis can be fatigued but Harden can't??

    This happens in the 4th quarter in all playoffs, have you seen the struggles of the Greek Freak or Simmons the last few playoffs or early Lebron?

    You think it was just because Harden did not want to drive?
