Game Thread Aug 08, 2020: Utah Jazz vs Denver Nuggets

[homeytennis]

We're slipping by Miami, OKC, Houston, and hopefully Indiana and Philadelphia.

This could be big for the future. We need to hit on this pick because we don't have one in the following draft.

This.

Ain’t mad at all.

I am mad that Conley is dying on every ****ing screen, though. He can’t do that and finish games.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Royce should've dribbled into a heave at the end there, but oh well. Hope Donovan got in a rhythm using the end of that one.

He rebounded with 4 seconds left. That's enough time to dribble into an actual 3pt **** or throw up a wild runner from 2.

When the Jazz played a lineup with Bradley, Niang, Conley and Clarkson in the late 3rd quarter and early 4th quarter, our defense and rebounding went to ****. That's when Denver went +10 on us and got within 2 pts.

Bad decision on Quin's part. I'm not the coach or anything but some of substitutions shoot us in the heart, he does this too often.

Putting 6’4” Royce O’Neal against Jokic at end of first OT was not smart. Should have brought out Ed Davis or Bradley for that one play.

What happened to Paul Millsap? 2 points, 2 boards in 22 minutes and didn’t appear in OT.

I think he did these things on purpose. Jazz were treating this game as pre-season. The Jazz got a lot of data yesterday on different lineup combinations.

When the Jazz play a 7-game series, normally the first game is to try things out and see what works and what doesn't. I think the Jazz were using yesterday's game to experiment, and they didn't care too much about the win.

 

[NAOS]

Love the moments where you see the Denver bench.

 

[Goodluckchuck]

Wait wtf! They went into double overtime? I turned it off with them down 4 with like 10 seconds left. **** me!

 

[Game6Conley]

Man... The Nuggets are gonna be good for a long time... Their roster is so deep..

 

[Game6Conley]

How about Michael Porter Jr.... Teams are gonna rue the day they let him fall to Denver..

As strange as this might sound, Michael Porter Jr is the better offensive player...

He was coming off major back surgery. We will see how he holds up over a normal 82 game season.

Fair assessment, now we gotta smoke the Mavs on Monday and rest the starters again against the spurs

Big mistake. You should always care and play for the win. Utah might end up against the Clips in Round 1 because of this loss and the spurs loss.
