Game Thread August 30, 2020: Nuggets at Jazz - Game 6

[JazzyFresh]

He can’t catch the ball Mitchell hit him while he was cutting and it bounced off his hand.

Exactly... As a center who played through high school(I wasn't great) it sometimes drives me nuts that Rudy works his *** off and doesn't get the ball. Thing is, when they do try he often doesn't have the coordination to haul it in so I kind of get it.

play morgan. get niang out. we might still be able to win this.

Ya I still wish we would start with the lineup that we looked so good with when Conley was out.

And Conley has been very good this series. Just think he should come off the bench.

Rudy has had a horrible series. One of his worst ever imo.

Yep.

We would have to be absolutely crazy to give him more than $25-30 million a year. He simply does not dominate a playoff game. We need to spend that money better.

I laugh at those who said Ed Davis would come in and do as good as Favors. Haha

It terms of cap and roster management, it was a bad idea to keep Favors at 18M to be a back up C, when is one of the easiest/cheapest positions to fill. No one expected Ed Davis to be as good a Favors but at least to provide solid defense and superb rebounding. He was one of the best back up C last year, no one saw him declining so fast.

The mistake was choosing the wrong back up C, not trading Favors as it allowed us to bring Bojan. If Favors comes back at 8-10M, then it's a good deal.

Hindsight is a blessing isn't it?.

I know this isn't going to happen and I know he is a rookie but maybe trying Oni on Murray for a few minutes. He cannot do worse than Ingles.

That pass from Mitchell sucked, lol.

I know Utah hit a homerun with Mitchell in that 2017 draft, It always irks me what they did selling their later picks in that draft though, seeing as their PG's were kinda crappy at the time and Monte Morris was on the board..

Pretty sure he had a career game in game 3 When he had 20+ pts at the half. He’s also dominated Joker in the P&R. I’m not sure what more we want out of Gobert. I guess he could play PG or develop a 3 point shot, but is that necessary? Conley needs to step up. Denver is focusing on Mitchell so this should be the time for Conley to shine. That’s why we’re paying him big bucks, right?

a poop streak in a pair of underwear would be playing better defense than Conley in this game.

why did we stop playing Morgan? I thought he looked pretty good earlier in this series.

This is the NBA he better be able to catch a bullet pass if he’s going to complain about not getting the ball.

We know who Rudy is. A premier pick and roll threat who leads the league in dunks with high efficiency. Sometimes he mishandles passes but more often than not he dunks which is great or he gets you space.
