Game Thread Aug 23, 2020: Jazz vs. Nuggets - Game 4

Added to Calendar: 08-23-20

If Jokic is busting his *** on defense, you'll know they haven't thrown in the towel. But if you saw their body language the last two games, it's pretty clear the Nuggets know they can't stop the Jazz from scoring.
If the Jazz jump on them early, I predict they will fold up the tent.
 
My ref comments were fully reverse jinx and goofiness... Kane Fitzgerald wasn’t even bad last game... all and all I think it’s been pretty solid other than my normal gripes.
 
The only thing missing from Luka shot was the eruption of a crowd. How crazy would the Dallas crowd gone if they were playing in Dallas. I am loving the basketball but not having crowds sucks.
 


We need to win it, not wait for help

Harris’s offense hasn’t been good this year. I don’t think he’d help them at all in this series even if he was available immediately.

I was a huge fan of Harris coming out of the draft. What a strange down year for him.

I was a big Harris fan too and felt he was underrated but these last 3 years he has gotten worse every year.
 
Is the game going to be on a different channel to start? It looks like Toronto and Brooklyn is going to run over.
 
Grant and Morris starts in place of MPJ and Craig.

Craig hasn't been great defensively and Morris can put pressure on guards while spacing the floor. Grant on Mitchell probably but Millsap has to step up defensively if it's to be effective.

Nuggets starting Morris/Murray/Grant/Millsap/Jokic. I'm interested to see if Rudy will guard Jokic one-on-one, or if the Jazz will double off of Millsap and force Jokic to give up the ball.

Jazz can still attack Jokic, Murray and Morris when we're on offense.

I don't think we will be aggressive with double teams. We will probably flash when he gets the ball and close out on shooter as we did the last 2 games. Jokic's passing is the real danger.
