Clipps-Nuggz Gm 7 Discussion

A lot of that has to do with Bogy being out.

This is exactly the kind of mentality that I'm worried about coming from our FO because Bojan will be a 32 yr old recovering from a big surgery next season.

Like I said, Denver will come back even better next season because they've got multiple young talents such as Bol Bol with tools and physical upside down the pipeline.

Whereas our roster features either aging players who will only regress over time, or players that are unlikely to develop into anything beyond Raul Neto-type-end-of-bench guys.

This shows how close we were to competing this year.

Get Bogey back and don't strike out with FA role players this year and we are at least in the Western finals.

Next year we can be better with a few easy moves. Don't **** it up again though. Plus as with any team you have to get lucky health wise.

Well, I'm rooting for Miami now. The intensity they play with, oh man. Masterful defense.

They’ve been my pick to win it all since the bubble. Their rotations on defense are ****ing awesome. They play so hard on that end. And then their offense is some of the best **** since 2014 Spurs. Adebayo is channeling Diaw.

That block tonight was friggin amazing.

We could have made it to the conference finals. Clips were as hugely flawed as Denver and us. Trezz Harrell lost himself around 5 mill.

 

[LoPo]

We You play till the final whistle and everybody knows this. Stop making excuses and give credit where credit is due. If jazz had any heart they could be in this situation instead of Nuggets

Denver beat us because they had a better team, more depth, and more youth/energy. We didn't lose due to lack of heart. I'm tired of hearing that garbage.

True to a certain degree. We would have played the Lakers though because we would have been a lower seed than Houston. I don't think Denver will match up well with the Lakers.

If we had Bojan, another good perimeter defender (Shaq, Ntilikina, etc) and an improvement on backup big, we could have contended this year.

Sucks to see this but I hope this motivates the front office to stay aggressive.

Does Kawhi repeat if he had stayed? I think so. Or at least made the finals again. Terrible choice to leave a championship team.

No. He wouldn't even have one ring if not blessed with facing a decimated Warriors team.

Oh yeah. How they double and then rotate to close any gap. Incredible. No one is left open, every shot is contested. It's just beautiful to watch. Bam is a monster.

You don't go 6 and 0 in close out games with luck. Sure one of two or even three you could say luck but at some point gotta tip your cap to the guys who play until final whistle. I know nuggets are division rival but I don't know how anyone that claims to be a b-ball fan can not like that team. They play the game the right way. They pass the ball to each other. They play as a team and to me that is beautiful but I guess jazz fans think it's ugly just cause they are our rival.best thing to happen is denver to win it all and then jazz can look and say hey that could of been us. I literally seen people talk about how it's lucky cuz clippers had two leads. You play until final whistle boneheads

Fwiw last seeding game lakers needed last second shot to beat nuggets. Nuggets has 2nd and 3rd stringers who won't play this series playing and lakers had AD and LBJ the whole 4th quarter. Jokic and murray was on bench whole 4th. Hate to break it to you but if nuggets can beat clippers they can beat Lakers. Also Ron Mexico is wrong saying this shows jazz can compete. Mark my words jazz be drafting in lottery in 2021..

That Raptors team was so stacked around Kawhi last year. And Nurse is so much better than Doc.

This. I was shocked kawhi didn't stay there. I mean I'm sure he prefers the glitz and glamor of LA over Toronto, but they had a very good chance of repeating if he had stayed. He could have strung 2 or 3 rings together.
