Game Thread Aug 23, 2020: Jazz vs. Nuggets - Game 4

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Harrell should be suspended for using racist language towards Luka Doncic last game. Won't happen, but should.

shut up

These guy are pros and they got embarrassed the last game. I expect them to have fire in their eyes coming out of the gate.

No doubt: this game is crucial.

Winning it means killing the series (Denver can't come back from a 3-1 )
On the other hand Denver today has the chance to reopen the series.

Despite everything I'll not be able to watch this game: here in Italy they would start at 3:00 a.m
Damn...

shut up

Umm, how about no?

Good to know that you support racism though. Way to play up that Utah people stereotype.

Refs against us? Lmfao, wut? This is Denver, not the Lakers. There really is no reason to think the refs/NBA have any bias in this series.

You need to go rewatch the first half of game 1. The ref bias was laughable.

I could sacrifice the night but I am pretty sure if I do that we certainly lose. If I watch the replay in the morning we should be fine.

I’d try Jokic-Plumlee combos if I were Malone. Plumlee is mobile enough to disrupt Joe in isolation situations—and that would put both Jokic and Plumlee on the Joe-Rudy PnR.

Except now you have made it even easier to defend Denver. Their only chance to beat us is to supernova offensively. It is far harder to do that with Plumlee playing big minutes next to Jokic.

You could have said the same thing coming out of game 2, but here we are.

I’m not suggesting that combo as a primary tool.

And Denver’s best chance right now isn’t as plain as you describe it.

If anyone has a ref bias issue in this series - which makes no sense whatsoever - the Nuggies could cry foul about us having 26 attempts to their 11 in game 3.

I don't think the refs have been that bad or biased in this series. The first half of Game 1 was poor, but overall its been even.

As for Game 3, Denver gave up while we attacked. The attempts reflect that.
