Jazz - Nuggets: Round 1

Last year, we were upset because we didn't have enough offense around Rudy so we traded out Rubio for Conley and Favors/Crowder for Bogey.

This year, the argument is that we don't have enough defense around Rudy.

So which one is it? Do we need Mitchell and a bunch of Kawhi Leonards to make it work? We know that ain't happening.

My argument is hinging all our hopes to an offensively limited/great defensive center in a mostly centerless league is unwise. The best offensive center in the league outplayed our best defensive weapon at his own position.

Mitchell is the future. Build around him. Quit doing stupid Conley deals that take the ball out of his hands. Dont overpay Rudy. It would be the death of the early Mitchell era.

Beal. We need to acquire Bradley Beal.
 
I don't know if Bradley Beal is what we need. Remember, we want the ball in Donovan's hands. Beal is ball dominant. Yes, he can fill it up, but I think we need more of a defender and 2nd option.

I think we need Jaylen Brown. I think he's the absolute perfect guy next to Donovan, and they are friends. Brown could be Pippen to Don's MJ.
 
Was it bogus? But yeah, strangely, that felt like the game to me when it happened.

If it was bogus, that's the perfect time to challenge.

Also... why did they keep Ingles on Murray? He was on skates while Murray went OFF.
Bogus? It sure felt like a premature whistle to me. It’s such an unusual call like an out of bounds violation or something. I have it recorded so I will check. And I definitely agree that Snyder should have burned a challenge. My recollection was that we’re up four with a chance to bury em with another made field goal and instead they hit a quick three and they’re back in the game.
I guess it’s legit, just found this: https://sports.yahoo.com/utah-jazz-...er-nuggets-playoff-career-high-002207472.html .

It is almost impossible to guard a good pick and roll/pop with two people if you aren't going to switch. It require help. If Rudy drops someone needs to come off and get to Jokic. He had way to much time.

Ingles looked gassed and I thought Royce should have been given a shot.
But as Locke keeps saying “Royce had five fouls” which to me is an excuse. It’s Royce, not Mitchell or Gobert. I agree with you; Royce needed to be given a chance; if not Royce, why not Oni just to see if it did something? Very frustrating to watch.

You'll like this then. I love the back and forth.

 
Gobert’s improved a negligible amount the last 2-3 years. Sort of done with his muscle gain and ****. Keep lifting and working hard but lose five pounds and get quicker and show us a more terrifying defense again.

Also we might need to flip Bogey for someone who can play two ways.

Totally agree...Jaylen Brown would be awesome!
Really hope I'm in wrong but unfortunately I don't think there is a real chance to trade for him.
