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

[Thee Jazz Fan]

I'm not seeing enough respect for Royce. He was absolutely fantastic on both ends of the court.

9pts, 8asts, 7rbds with incredible defense and energy throughout.

He is becoming one of my favorite Jazz players ever. From Rags to Buckets.

You’re an idiot!!!!

A million dollars per point!

Scoring ain’t his job on this team. He held Murray to 14 points on 13 shots!! He torched Ingles for 36 in game one, piss off!!! Idiot.

The assists rebounds and defense are free then... great deal imo.

Not a great deal at all. At most he's a 3-5 million dollar player in today's market. Jazz heavily overpaid.

Name a single player similar to Royce who has already gotten his second contract and is paid 3-5 million.

He doesn't shoot very often but he's a baller man, love his attitude too. Noticed over the seasons when some of the team is playing with anxiety he's down to Earth. Doesn't get scared. I can sense at times other players get wide eyed, heart beating... meanwhile Royce is out there making plays just like it's another pick up game.

As a starter at 26, I think he's in company with these guys. These are all starters or heavy rotation types, but not stars on their team. There are a couple really good deals in there, but there are also some really bad ones. He's a better perimeter defender than almost every guy on that list and he's the best perimeter defender on our team. Gotta pay for those guys.

Overall, I think Royce got a very fair deal and not a deal worth complaining about.

I bag on Niang a lot but he is a former GLeague first teamer. He does have some skills and if he isn't a locker room cancer so much the better.

Your range of being terrible in general is pretty on point though. Pretty impressive.

We’d probably get along fine if you stopped being pitifully wrong all the time.

Royce has the best shot chart in the NBA - three pointers or layups. Nothing else, ever.

Jebus peoples we have to be better than this... even if you figure a point per million I think we'd be great across the board... Mike would be leading the league in scoring and Rudy would need to score 25 per game.

Royce had 9 pts, 8 Assists, 7 rebounds, 2 blocks and a steal. No turnovers on 75% shooting... but let's talk about him being "overpaid".

Tell ya what anyone that thinks Royce is overpaid please put me on ignore cuz you are a moron and I would hate to cast pearls in front of you.

He also converts at good percentages. And can switch 1-4 on defense. People who are hating on him are ****ing morons.
