Memphis last year was playing way better than the Jazz are this year. They tanked to get to the 8th seed, and NOH was a true 8th seed last year. I love how this guys compares Gordon Hayward to Rudy Gay (Rudy can probably score A LITTLE better lol).
The truth is, While Al Jefferson is a fine player and a star in Utah, he is not going to beast like Z-Bo did, and Marc Gasol was wayyy bigger than Millsap and a much better player. Our bigs this year > our bigs last year and we have a healthy, deep team this year. Last year we went into the playoffs tugging on our shorts and gasping for air, this year we are going into the post season on a high and with excellent chemistry and a rested, healthy core of stars.
