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

Added to Calendar: 08-23-20

It sure was nice to beat the nuggets and their announcers tonight. I get that Murray is good. But the way they were talking almost made me forget that Mitchell was out there. I didn’t realize Mitchell was having a great game until he was at 39 pts. And I get that Gary Harris not playing sucks. But we’re without Bojan. The commentary really sucked.

Loved the effort tonight. Mental toughness was great. I hope we get up early on them next game. They’ll quit.

Also, I’m not a believer in Porter. His ballhandling, intensity, and basketball IQ leave a lot to be desired. Reminds me a little bit of our Sasha back in the day. Good athlete and nice stroke but low basketball IQ and intensity. He’s the anti Luka who might be one of the smartest players I’ve ever seen. He’s a 6 foot 7 version of Stockton/Harden.

On a separate note, Joe looks a bit slower on defense. We need to acquire another versatile defender during the off-season. Royce can't be our only 'stopper'

Yeah it's obvious Joe has lost a half a step since the series he hounded push-off P into some bad games and looked like a premier perimeter defender.

That catch he had on the baseline for the dunk was a guaranteed turnover in the past

Announcers were comparing him to a wide receiver. Don’t want to overstate it but not only does he look like the best center in the NBA in this series, watching him play now reminds me of greats like Jabbar and Russell in their primes.

I listened to Game 1 on sirius radio and had to listen to the nuggets announcers. They were bush league. Listened to Game 3 blow- out. Locke and Boone were class acts.
 
If we can keep playing with this confidence and intensity who knows? With the way things went down after the trade, and the Bogey injury, sounds like a cross between Hoosiers and Glory Road.:D

I know superstar put the points up but to my eyes it was Conley that stemmed the tide when we were down. 8 for 13, 6for 6 from the stripe, 4 dimes and 0 TOS. The playoffs are back and so is playoff Mike. Kudos to Clarkson as well for big shots made.

Mike and JC were nails... team is playing so well right now.

That ball went fast and even some heavy, and i got impressed by the catch, but honestly, the tempo of the pass had me completely. I got even more impressed on how Mitchell kept finding Rudy tonight. I mean, he's been able to put the ball down and playmake on the bubble, but when it came to passes for Rudy out of the pnr, the right timing wasn't there, till tonight, there were some pretty dimes and lobs.
