Anyone else find it interesting that gay got a DNP and Juancho played ahead of him?

I do. Very very interesting. I dont know how to feel about it. Im shocked.

Biggest sequence of the game

Sent from my SM-A516U using JazzFanz mobile app

The royce hustle play to get another possession and then the donovan pass to royce for 3 was the biggest sequence of the game imo.

When the Mavs put Kleber or Green on the floor, Gobert sags way off on defense. When the Mavs put Bertans on the floor, the Jazz drive at him relentlessly on offense. That's how the Jazz are dealing with the Mavs spacing the floor.

Good post

Tim Hardaway jr

Eh im looking at a statistical comp between hardaway jr and dinwiddie and it doesn't favor hardaway.
Hardway ppg: 14.2 on 39% from the field and 34% from 3.
Dinwiddie: 15.8 on 50% from the field and 40% from 3
3.7 rebounds per game for hardaway
3.1 for dinwiddie
2.2 assists per game for hardaway
3.9 assists per game for dinwiddie
Dinwiddie gets to the line twice as often.

Looks to me like dinwiddie is better. In fact hardaway jr seems to kind of suck. Really this mavs team isn't very good without luka.

And well deserved. Man that 4th quarter was stressful. Don was going hero donovan mode and missing and missing. Thankfully conley got a few shots (and makes) somehow and donovan actually made the pass to Royce. Couldn't believe he passed that. Hopefully he learned something today (trust your teammates)
Btw, Rudy only having 1 field goal attempt against these scrubs is a travesty

I liked how during the 4th they panned to a single jazz fan in a sea of mavs fans and he looked nervous as hell

Lol before I clicked the twitter link and saw the actual tweet I figured it would be a jazz fan looking nervous (since that is what you described) and I was going to respond by saying "that jazz fan was all of us" and then I saw the tweet lol. So true. I was ******** my pants.

Juacho had overtaken Rudy Gay by the end of the season. I'm surprised that Quin didn't do the same with Paschall earlier, but Quin just doesn't seem to believe in Paschall as a player. Rudy Gay had a few good games to start his season, but since then he's not been an NBA level rotation player. I'm glad we have Juancho and Quin is willing to play him instead.

Im glad too but Im still shocked. the narrative all season was that we got Rudy Gay for one reason and one reason only. Playoffs.

Definitely a good chance. Today was the mavs best shot to get a win in these first two games (we shot pretty horrible, they only turned it over 7 times, they got the whistles. All three things aren't going to happen in game 2) so we will likely go to slc up 2-0. The jazz have won 11 in a row against the mavs in slc including 2-0 this season. Sweep is still a pretty good possibility.

It's kind of funny how not having home court worked in our favor, not having Luka likely means a 2-0 lead and heading back to SLC. I think the Mavs defense is going to get ripped up against our offense, we just have to continue to close games.

We started off the game without a lot of urgency. It was surprising since it was the playoffs, but maybe the early start time just threw us off.

Closing the game like we did was huge, although defensively we are still banking on them missing wide open 3s. Offensively we looked so much better. Moving the ball, not so Mitchell dominant, generally making the right play. Encouraging.

Who is the second best player that was also out?

Hardaway. Something like 15 ppg and one of their best defenders.
