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

[416Klawzz]

We need to make adjustments more Donovan, more Clarkson more Morgan less Niang and Bradley. Less Ingles on Murray. Quin don't mess this up man

 

[Ron Mexico]

This puts pressure on the next game as a must win for the Jazz. If we lose this we go into game 7 on a losing streak against a red hot shooting team. I don't want to see that, nor should the Jazz. We really should have ended this already. Oh well, more 2020 stress!

I'm confident the Jazz will rebound and win the next game. However, if they lose, they will be in deep trouble. Nuggets will come in for the kill in game 7 if it happens.

Quotes from the Jazz forum gonna suck.

Do the Jazz close it out in 6 or does it go the distance?

It will help if Jokic doesn't shoot out of his mind to start game 6 I'll tell ya that. Some of those were really tough shots over the 2 time.

Yeah no idea why they didn't bring Clarkson back in. It was pretty obvious from the middle of the 3rd quarter that Ingles and O'Neal were not playing well. Clarkson at least gave us a shot to outscore them.

Think Ingles and ONeale too cerebral at times with Conley while Clarkson just rolls

Didn't we counter the Rockets playing this style of aggressive defense in game 2 a couple years ago? I think Gobert started slipping the pick and it worked really well. I think we'll see some of that in game 6 and it will open up a lot.

Jazz gotta play like the desperate team with urgency. We took our foot off the gas tonight.

I feel like this whole series hinges on game 6. We either advance or Denver takes the series.

 

[prodigy]

Royce had some bad defensive lapses

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Not the locked in performance I had hoped for. Credit Denver for some massive shot making too.

bleh... in to the next one.
