Pre-series Gm Chat

With game 1 just around the corner, I thought I would catch up with the two gm’s and ask them a couple of questions.  Both guys are obviously excited but there must be some nerves going in.  So let’s see what they had to say.

What makes you confident going in to this series?

GM nenjabin says that he is confident in the teams depth and happy with the health of the team and that his guys can fill their roles.  Gm merencio responded by stating that his teams’ athletic ability is off charts and that they will need to use that to our advantage.

What is your biggest concern?

Gm nenjabin didn’t mince his words, stating: Derrick Rose. If we can limit his overall impact, not stop, we can't stop him, I feel we're well on our way.  Gm merencio is worried about OKC’s team versatility.

Which of your players is the biggest key?

Gm merencio recognised that Rose is their biggest key stating that he needs to be a leader for them to be successful.  Gm nenjabin believes that their key is Jonas Valanciunas stating the big man needs to dominate to even out the advantage Rose’s play will give the Jazz.

Do you have a jedi mind trick up your sleeve?

Gm nenjabin says that he ‘may have a few curve balls’ but he isn’t revealing them just yet whilst gm merencio stated that Andrew Wiggins was sighted working out with Luke Skywalker.

So there you have it, the gm’s had had their say and now await with palms sweating.  Can Derrick Rose dominate the Thunder and give the Jazz the edge or will the Thunder’s depth and big man play be the difference?

We will all find out on Tuesday, 9am NLL time when game 1 kicks off.  Buckle your seatbelt and let the games begin!
