Jazz - Nuggets: Round 1

This is just one game, but I wasn't impressed with Gobert much today. Yes, he had moments. 4 blocks were great. Overall, I don't think he impacted the game and limited Jokic as much as I expect him to.

He was a good player today, but would a player like Jarret Allen do most of the same? Gobert is better, but max better?

Sincerely, at this point i don't see that if we have Bojan on this game instead of Clarkson or Ingles and then we're able to get stops. Being faster and having more stamina than Ingles and having that big of size and strenght advantage on Clarkson he's maybe even the worse rebounder of the three, while not having the Ingles footwork, active hands, bbiq and capacity to absord contact. His plus for me is that even if he's maybe even worse than Clarkson as a playmaker, he's better than Clarkson and Ingles at getting buckets, on and off ball, so he's able to take some load out of Mitchell hands on late game situations while also being a even better floor spacer than Clarkson and Ingles (and problably over Conley too, but Conley maybe make for it on his playmaking).

Harkless would be a very limmited offensive gun ? For sure, but he'd be able to help our defense, especially come crunch time and playoff time. At this point, for me, if we don't use our mle on a wing that is read to play right now, then we're fully counting on the draft pick being a guy read to play the minutes he steps in, or that at least one of our g-leaguers take all the leaps needed to be a consistent rotational piece, and if they don't we simply run again this defensive setup of at least 2 to 3 average at best to not defenders on the floor and pray for uncontested bricks.
If Bojan took Niang's minutes or relieved Joe a bit during the game we win. Bojan is very good... One of the best shooters in the league with size. He makes a big differ
Source? First time I'm hearing that.

I agree. Donny should be the PG and the jazz should roll with these bigger lineups.
my source is Quin... he came out and said Mike would love to the bench... they interviewed Mike... DL then paid Quin a visit and he changed his mind. It isn’t a secret... google Mike Conley benched and I’m sure you’ll get what you are after.
 
Now having a few hours to digest the game, I am actually more confident about winning the series then I was before the game started.

Reason being, we let them shoot lights out from deep which is against their average and easily correctable. That coupled with the fact that we should have Conley back by game 3 or 4 for added fire power and depth lead me to believe that the Jazz are more than capable of beating the nuggets in this series.

If we win at least 1 of the next 2 games and then get Conley back, we will win the series. Book it Dan-o!

Rudy is what he is -- 17 pts, scores off of rolls and putbacks, guards the paint, intimidates people, gets blocks.

It hurts to lose this one. We're up 4 with 1:45 left to play. If Donovan doesn't get a brain-fart 8-second violation and we score anything, we're up 5, 6 or 7 with less than 90 seconds left. Denver's in a scramble at that point. Instead Murray hits a free 3pt shot, and the game is a toss-up.

But yeah, I think we're absolutely in this series.

Max player ? Absolutely. Supermax ? Not really confident about it, but also can't see that many teams better than us throwing a max offer at him.

Would Jarret Allen do most of it ? Just most of the bad part of course, and much more of the bad part. At least try to compare Rudy to someone good like Adebayo or Capela.

I know Rudy is a good player. I know his contributions are valuable. I'm just pointing out that he didnt do anything to take over at any point today.

Would we have been just as good with Jarret Allen and Favors at center taking turns at Jokic but a big upgrade on the wing to support Donovan? I think so.

For what he provided today, I wouldn't pay him max much less supermax. Rudy's play will be interesting to track this series. Best offensive center vs best defensive center. Jokic won round 1.

Round 1? Jokic is almost averaging a triple double against Rudy with like 27 ppg. Round 1 goes to the entire year for Jokic

So the idea is for helping Mitchell is an upgrade on the wing, but Rudy doesn't needs help on the wings ?

Maybe what we need is Rudy making three copies of himself on the floor, so he can at the same time follow the stretch big on the 3pt line, play help defense on the midrange after our defender dies on a screen and crash the boards at the rim.

If we're able to teach this to Rudy, Mitchell might not even need help on the wing, as we might be able to teach him to copy himself three times so he can spot up for threes and make backdoor cuts for layups/dunks at the same time he's creating stuff with the ball at his hands, then we might even save the money on the upgrade at the wing.
 
If we had Bogy we would’ve won. And DM’s performance is making me think we can win a title with him as our first option on offense with better players around him and Gobert.
 
Feeling bad for the mavs. They are being robbed already on game 1. If we advance, we will need to be ready to get the same ******** call..
