Game Thread August 30, 2020: Nuggets at Jazz - Game 6

[cowhide]

the way the Jazz are going, they are going to pull a New York Yankees choke job. It is good to see us miss 7 fts and Joe/Royce are a no show again. Those two need to be bench players.

Murray have 3 fouls. Got to take advantage of that

The fact the Jazz are just down 6 feels like a minor miracle

Unless they figure out a way to somehow contain Murray might as well be 16.

Oddly I feel better being down 6 at the half than I did being up 6 after 1.

We got this

Beat me to it. We can now be the hunters instead of the hunted.

First order of business for second half: get a 4th foul on Murray. Give him the Harden treatment.

Maybe it's easier said than done but I've never understood coaches not continually going after guys in foul trouble.

We need to target Murray in the second half. Can't let him play 22min or more in the second half like in previous games. He is just too hot.

We need some backup bigs who can finish around the rim. Niang and Bradley getting swallowed up by Plumlee, started their fast break which sparked this run. We won’t improve until we get a Favors like backup. Bradley just can’t finish around the rim and Ed Davis isn’t a good fit.

The Nuggets are shooting 60% and Murray has been amazing. That's your game recap.

For whatever reason, their defense also disrupted our offense for a stretch there.

I feel like our offense disrupted our offense. Stopped moving the ball

That was a horrendous half. The truth of how horrendous it was is masked by the ridiculous hot shooting at the start.

I think we made our first straight 10 shots or so with one of them being an and one and quite a few threes.
When we were up by only 6 after 1 I figured we were ****ed

I laugh at those who said Ed Davis would come in and do as good as Favors. Haha

Denver has 9 more rebounds. Jazz have missed 7 Fts. Denver picked up the defense at half court and Jazz struggled getting into their offense. Donovan struggled running the offense and Rudy struggled catching the ball. Jazz looked great to start. They looked locked in and then in the second Denver started playing defense and the Jazz just looked like a deer caught in headlights. Please play Morgan more than George. Jazz need help on the boards.

Murray doesn't miss often, though.

I disagree on Rudy. We moved away from him on offense when he was making us click that led to the good start. Defensively, he missed some rebounds but he has been trying to cover holes all game.

He can’t catch the ball Mitchell hit him while he was cutting and it bounced off his hand.
