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

[SCS]

I'm not asking more of Rudy. I'm asking more of everyone else.

Rudy has been pretty poor the last few games if I'm being honest.

An example that stuck out to me from game 6 was late in the first qtr or early in the 2nd. It was late shot clock. Jokic was off the floor. Murray has the ball 30+ feet from the hoop. Rudy doesn't even go out to contest. Murray hits an open late shot clock 3. Just not focused.

We need Rudy and Royce to be much better defensively. We need the whole team to be. But those two in particular since they are the heart of the defense.

Still here. Conley has been great all series. He's not why we lost the last two games.

Dude his defense is bad. So bad the rest of the guards and wings have to shift and play out of position. It’s rough.

Jazz dug their grave when they extended Ingles till the age of 35, bogey till the age of 34, and traded for a 32 yr old Conley. We had a 22 year old superstar and... we went and got older? It was asinine. What the **** were Lindsay and Snyder thinking?

Look at what Denver did. They aligned the roster age to Jokic and Murray. Look at all of these young teams. And here we are peddling out unathletic old players.

Good post but we were hitting a few wide open shots away from
beating Houston last year.

Personally I think this team lacks any sort of toughness, mentally and physically and that's really their biggest flaw. This series would be over if they possessed any. They played tough a game or two, but being up 15 and letting refs get into their heads(Ingles confession) was the turning point. They haven't played right consistently since.

Not to mention terrible off the court chemistry.

is tonight's 2-13 shooting considered part of the "all series"? had he even hit 3-13, it'd be us playing the Clippers. It's not too much to ask from a guy who's paid 30mil a year.

Tough loss. Perimeter defense was a problem for much of the series, but part of it may have been the short bench and the amount of energy that guys had to expend.

Mitchell was drawing the entire focus of Denver's defense. This would have been a great game for Conley to step up and hit some 3s.

Weird ending to a weird season.

Just weird.

I have to agree. He should have found a way to score late in the game.
