Game Thread Aug 19, 2020: Jazz at Nuggets - Game 2

Lot of Niang hate. The dude is a 10-12 man in this league. He's not supposed to be playing these playoff minutes but we don't have a lot of options considering who is out.

Oni says hi.

The 2nd elbow was a pretty damn hard elbow to the face.
Also what does long wingspan and his defender have to do with flopping? Everyone flops.

Flopping is an essential part of the game until they decide that officiating will change.

That’s the problem. He’s not even a 10-12 man. Even on THIS team. We have 3 dudes at the end of the bench I would gladly play over him. And two of them are rookie second round draft picks.

I figured it out, guis. Niang is a rope-a-dope strategy. Let me hit you right on the chin and get some false confidence before you chop em down.

Gotta believe in something.

Jazz had a nice first half but they have blown leads before against Denver. Rudy showing up. Clarkson has been key off the bench. I know Quin is suppose to be a basketball genius but I am really struggling to understand why he continues to play Niang. Brantley is the better player and he does other things that Niang doesn't. George does one thing make 3 pts and when he isn't making shots he is worthless. He is a poor rebounder and cannot guard anyone. Niang has shot terribly for a while now. Sit his butt down and see what Brantley can do. The start of the third is going to be key. If Jazz can build or maintain their lead it will go a long way to winning the game. I am still nervous though due to our recent history with the Nuggets. Come on Jazz we need this win.

Lucky bastard. I managed to sneakily watch about 80% of that first half in my phone

But now are you free to watch or you have to continue watching the game in this way?

Great game so far, even though I'm still pissed about that not call elbow from Jokic

 

[Hekate]

Gotta play calm.

 

[NAOS]

****ing Jokic applies so much foul pressure.

Looking good, keep it up

****ing Jokic applies so much foul pressure.

Dude is a foul and tough shot machine and you can't even double team him.

BTW Donovan is making some very good choices so far.
Way better than last year Don
