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

Added to Calendar: 08-30-20

The Rubio experiment didn't work. It was never going to work. How can anyone forget him airballing that 3 last year against houston in the playoffs.

The jazz took a calculated risk in getting Conly and for the most part it backfired. I was screaming for the jazz to go after Brogdon. I was wanting the Jazz to get Grant. The jazz needed to get longer, younger, and more athletic... not extend Ingles, sign an old Bogey, and trade for an old Conley. It made no sense. That roster was never good enough to win a championship anyway. Why not build a younger core together with Donny? I just don't understand this front office.
Slow and steady provides fiscal stability in the long-term.
 
But if you pre- rotate your Jokic... once Rudy drops... then Murray has to make the decision... if it is Craig or Morris or someone else wide open then so be it.
No, if there is clock, they are just going to give the ball to Jokic and he will post up and demand double teams. They could also ran hands off with Morris and Murray again.

That is if Craig and Morris don't kill us first.

Jamal has a TS% over 72.5... Craig and Morris won’t do better.
If they’ve already run pick and pop they really won’t have click to work it into the post to Jokic. I’m also trying to get them to make the cross court pass and see if I can get a couple turnovers out of it. Playing it straight up is like giving them a nice soft fluffy robe and some slippers... makes them so comfortable as they shoot. You want them thinking and working a little more.
 
Now do Royce.


I hate you Royce oh yes I do
They say you're a defensive stopper
we know that isn't true
Murray torched you
Hell even Morris too
You think you're safe cause you're donovan's friend
but have you seen they way he looks at Tuckers end?
Why did we sign you for four years
When we could have locked you up for one
You used to be an overachiever
Now you're no fun
 
We need Morgan to gain size and rebound better on both sides of the floor. I know I shouldn't complain about Murray when Donovan is playing equally extraordinary but I still hate his ****ing face.
 
So if we lose tomorrow do we expect a major offseason overhaul? I think building around Mitchell is smart, but it's a shame we cleared the cupboard for the team we have now. Not a ton of options, especially after we give Don his max deal.

Winning a playoff series his rookie year, I thought we had such a headstart on the team building with a young star. And now hear we are, as far away as ever. And while hindsight is 20-20 we really did just waste two years, and gave up a ton of roster building, and it didn't raise what the team could do in the postseason at all.


We could also of course win tomorrow. Then we have to see us play against a real defense. We'd get smashed by the Clippers and probably be as pessimistic as ever because Mitchell won't be putting up 40 on 55/55/95 shooting.


Ugh, always behind the team. And whatever small, lame moves they do this offseason I will talk myself into. Like I always do. But overall I think the pooch has been sufficiently screwed. Damn.

Whatever happens tomorrow nothing really big will happen in the offseason. We will have an excuse in Boyan's absence anyway.

There should be a overhaul. At least we took a game from Houston last couple of seasons. And we’d be in the conversation for the Conference final last year had we played in Portland’s bracket. If we are to play Houston in a series now, we’d no doubt get swept while Harden averaging 60 a game.
