Game Thread Aug 25, 2020: Jazz at Nuggets - Game 5

[Deleted member 848]

half serious when i say that subbing out Niang for Royce lost us the game. Horrendous.

 

[NAOS]

Really a ******, greasy feeling loss.

Y'all know I love Rudy, but he did not step up today. Him and Royce were both a bit dissapointing in this one.

Yeah, I had hoped Giannis getting the DPOY trophy before the game would have got Rudy going for this game.

Rudy just looked out of sync all game.

Good point. I agree. Rudy was terrible tonight. Awful

Maybe he was upset about it, but not yet mad. Next game!

Well that sucked.

Not sure. It remind me when we had the opportunity to close out OKC on the road, up by 20 in the third and then we folded. We close it out the next game. I believe we are the superior team.

We are absolutely the superior team. Problem is, the Jazz panic after as little as a 4 point run by the nuggets and get sloppy.

Yep this was OKC game 5 all over again. Props to them for fighting, but the Jazz stopped playing hard when they got up 15

Next game we must win each loose ball battle each rebound, don't give them any more life Geez

 

[latin jazz]

If we struggle to stop Murray, imagine if we advance and face Luka the next round. Oh my.

I'd feel more confident if this was an actual home game and not essentially a neutral site game. Utah has been here before, absolutely, including the last time they beat Denver in the playoffs (lost game five in Denver, closed it out at home) but that was with a strong home court advantage that just isn't there.

Odds are still in their favor they win one of the next two but if they lose Thursday, well ... I suspect they lose the series.

If Bradley could finish from 3 feet, he would have better than Rudy.
