Game Thread September 1, 2020: Jazz at Nuggets - Game 7

Added to Calendar: 09-01-20

He’s been carrying us this entire season. Maybe it’s time for that guy we traded half our team for to finally be that 2nd option?

You can’t criticize Mitchell in my book. He was stellar all season long. Rudy Gobert is our only man down low. You can’t criticize him either. We traded half our team last summer for a second option yet Conley has struggled to outperform Mudiay and Clarkson, two players we got off the scrap heap.
Agreed. I'm the OG Conley hater. The guy sucks, he makes zero players better and he cost the Jazz 3 first rounders & multiple players that were just as good if not better than him and he takes 1/4 of the freaking salary cap.

Jazz finally tried ****ing anything against Murray that wasn’t their white bread defense and it worked. Too bad they were so out of sorts offensively and couldn’t capitalize on it.

I’m sad. I am happy they fought back but it made it sting even more.

They could’ve easily won this in 5. That’s what’s killing me.
 
Clown Jom. He played excellent D on Murray tonight and his playmaking was very good. But yeah, look at his shooting only.

Had he made that last shot, the whole narrative on JazzFanz would be different and you would be quiet like you always do when you are proven wrong.
it won't matter if you only bring positives on some areas but being net negative overall. like people been trashing Rudy all series on his offense despite his elite defense, and you think we are supposed to excuse Conley for his choke job on offense tonight? doesn't matter if it's offense or defense, as long as your negatives outweigh the positives, you are a liability to the team and deserve all the criticism.
 
Just gotta say, out of all the crazy things that just happened in that 4th quarter...

None of them can top the torrey craig missed layup with 4 seconds to go.... that was INSANE.........


Right??? like, thats one of those things that should NEVER happen at the end of a professional basketball game, let alone in the NBA playoffs game 7.... crazy...
 
Steps to improve:

1. We desperately need to find a way to move Conley. Move Mitchell to the PG spot. Get another 2 or 3 who can run. Conley and Mitchell cannot coexist and their size makes us a defensive liability. Conley’s contract and age is toxic. You’ve gotta move that thing **** ASAP. Get on the horn with someone stupid, like the kings or knicks and unload that massive disaster.

2. We desperately need a 4 who can spot Rudy some time. That’s why I found Favors to be perfect. He could start at the 4 and/or be rudy coming off the bench. The drop off between Davis/Bradley this year from favors was something astonishing.

Right? People went straight to ******** on Conley lol. I don't think people appreciate how insane that last sequence was... Conley's shot was like 90% down. Idk how Craig lives that down if Conley makes that shot.
 
The depth of Denver played a massive hand in this, all series long Gary Harris is swiping away running up big foul counts in low minutes played and it paid off in spades here in game 7...

Mitchell with 9 turnovers...

Good post.

Without Donovan becoming super man in the 3rd, we are blown out tonight. He ran out of gas and the refs swallowed their whistles. He went to the line what? Twice?
