Not really seeing an adjustment Denver can make. We’ll cool off shooting, but we still would’ve spanked them with average shooting the last two games.

Hope the guys stay motivated. We feel like such the better team and should roll. Yet we’re one game from being 2-2.

This. The off the charts offense is just what is driving this to 30 point blow outs. The defense is really what's driving solid 20 point wins, and that just makes the offense easier.

I was surprised d they didn’t at least try a zone. Especially in that 2nd quarter when it was a Gobert Dunk Show. I wouldn’t expect a zone to stifle us for long. But at least it could slow the P&R down. I’d also trap the guard off the P&R to stop easy drives. Force the guard to give it up earlier. Gobert is much less effective when he’s passed the ball at the free throw line than at the rim. If you let our guards into the paint it’s either an easy shot for them, a wide open 3 for the wing, or a lob to Gobert.

Don’t think zone would work... I suppose you could put grant in the middle but the reason to go zone is to keep a rim protector at the rim. Also we do a ton of drive and kick for threes... zone would play right into that.

They don’t have the defensive talent or effort... they need to outscore us.

That was fairly early in the game too. It didn't work - the jazz proceeded to hit consecutive three's right after.

It was one of those games where you go from excited about your team to embarrassed for your opponent real quick. I wonder what they are going to try different in the next game defensively to try to slow the jazz.

He may have been praying to have his spirit released from his soul... so he didn’t have to watch it.

I don’t think a zone would work either. But I would’ve at least tried it for a few possessions. I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen ******** defense and a complete Gobert offensive explosion like that. We were executing the hell out of the plays but denvers defense was summer league poor. Gobert looked like prime Amare out there and all of our guards looked like prime Nash.

well before the series the majority of Jazz were skeptical of the Jazz winning especially how they were playing. Denver should have been favored. They won all the regular season games. I thought Denver would win in 6 or 7 games. I am happy that the Jazz are proving me wrong but there was no intention of being disrespectful. Just trying to be objective. Sports is funny though because all the analysis means squat, you have to play the games. Jazz are going to be underdogs as they advance which is fine with me. Besides, most people were picking Denver over the Jazz due to the Bogey injury.
 
Funny how after game two, Nuggets fans were still holding onto the idea that their team is significantly better than Utah. Reading their forums after game 3, they think they are the worst team in the world and everyone needs to be fired.

Two teams that went 46-27 and 44-28 during the season. Why would anyone think these two teams have drastically different talent levels? Lol. It's comical to me.

Was looking at a Vizio and a Samsung before the pandemic. Beautiful screens. Someday, she will be mine oh yes she will mine. Are you going to mount her?

I actually put up 2 mounts on 2 different walls so we can move the tv and furniture around every so often.
The mount that doesn't have the tv on it has a picture covering it. Works out really nice

It was always a coin flip. There was hardly any separation between us and them.
 
This series has been so much fun! I've had to watch all three games several hours late. A coworker blew it for me on game one, but I've been able to not know anything about games 2 and 3 before watching them. If I was superstitious, I'd delay watching Sunday's game as well.

I am superstitious and on that note, you sure as hell better watch it tape delayed:)
 
Wow, it's been a long time since I have had this much fun having this team. The team chemistry is off the charts. I don't know if the Nuggets D is that bad or the Jazz now have the greatest offense of all-time. It is great to see the whole team produce and not just rely on Don's scoring.
