The "Make Jokic do everything and limit everyone else" strategy is what you draw up against the Nuggets. It's just amazing it is working without Gobert.

They actually ran a ton of doubles and made other guys try to beat them too. They executed a solid plan.
 
The Nuggets are not missing their second and third best player. They're only missing the second best. MPJ will likely never play at NBA level again, so it's disingenuous to act like they'll be a much better team when he comes back. He isn't coming back.

The 13 rebounds for bogey, 7 for RG, and 11 for Royce kinda show the impact gobert has on rebounding stats for our other guys. Many of us want Bojan to rebound more but maybe its hard to when gobert is grabbing them all lol.

Well the strategy is not to have those guys crash all the time so they can leak out for early offense… sometimes they assume he will get ones that he doesn’t. Obviously Rudy cuts into their numbers but they gave great effort tonight… not gonna get that effort every night.

So yeah.... really don't think the Jazz are going to trade Bogdanovic, unless it's for like Jaylen Brown coming back.

I mean obviously you probably have to do that trade, but I kinda think Bogdanovic is a better fit next to Mitchell and Conly. He's really figured out how to be effective off-ball and is a dominating the second or third option role. Brown hasn't shown he can make that adjustment in Boston. Not that this trade would happen anyway.

I think the concern is it's easy to get complacent about it when you know Gobert is there anyway. Imagine how good our rebounding would be if we fought this hard for rebounds every game.

If I were looking to move to the next level as another team, you can bet I would be making some calls to Ainge about him. His production at his price is pretty damn good, especially if he had a larger role in the offense.

Confused as to why people are complaining.. This was a big win with gobert and whiteside out. And mitchell had one of his worst games.

Bogey has been truly incredible this season. Just huge. If he can play like this I think we have a chance against anyone in the playoffs.

Everyone always fake trading Bogey for Grant and Barnes… let’s call the hell down.

That was a fun game… I am entertained

It drives me crazy. Everyone is so hyper focused on the perimeter defensive flaw that they have been seeing everything that happens through that. If you traded Bogey to try and fix that problem, you'd suddenly have a much bigger problem. Being the number 1 offense is our chance at winning the chip, you can't sacrifice that too much.

Appreciate Bogey. Don't forget--he chose to come here, he signed here. One of the biggest free agents the franchise has ever had.

Yep, and Rudy Gay is climbing that list fast.

I felt very much the same way when the Jazz had the No. 1 defense. You play into your strength. If you are the best in the NBA on one side of the floor, push that. It doesn't mean ignore the other side, but you don't give up being the No. 1 offense and top 5 defense for being top 4 offense top 4 defense. That just doesn't make any sense.

Lean into the #1 offense and drill your team on the best ways to improve their biggest defensive weaknesses that can realistically be fixed.
