Game Thread September 1, 2020: Jazz at Nuggets - Game 7

[jom2003]

The best part about all of this is that we gave our "guard defensive thumper" in Royce an undeserved extension.

energy guys like Royce aren't scarce resources by any means but DL somehow managed to pick up none of them from the market or the draft, leaving us with little option but to overpay Royce because every team needs energy players.

I've been consistent with my views re: the current roster. Never liked the extra year given to Ingles for no reason. Never liked going after a smaller PG instead of a bigger one a la Brogdon. And I've never like the O'Neale extension. Oh, and I've never been a fan of Niang. Ever.

just remember, to play for DL and the Jazz, you need to fit at least one of the following three categories: soft, short and slow.

If you don't fit any of these three criteria, you either have to look to some other teams for a contract, or will see your foot out of the door pretty soon if you somehow do find yourself on the Jazz roster.

Agreed on all counts!

I like Royce’s extension. He earned it. Perimeter defense is about good help and switching. Royce has neither.

 

[JazzyFresh]

Just to echo everything, Royce is a solid role player who can come in and at times stop the opposing teams main guy, but he's not a full time 32+ minute guy. He never really was.

 

[JazzyFresh]

A player being good at perimeter defense is the helpers responsibility not the actual person who's defending.

And his minion(alt)earlier said the best way to beat Murray is to score more points than Denver.

I've learned tons about basketball today.

Well I have bad news fellas... Scott Foster will be our official tomorrow. We have lost both games he officiated. He is generally pretty terrible... not that he's biased just think he's not great.

Everyone just going to ignore this like they did Black Lives Matter?

"Cultural appropriation, at times also phrased cultural misappropriation, is the adoption of an element or elements of one culture or identity by members of another culture or identity. This can be controversial when members of a dominant culture appropriate from disadvantaged minority cultures.:

The Social Effects of Jazz

"Furthermore, jazz is considered an integral part of African American culture. ... Jazz music emerged out of “hot music” from New Orleans at the turn of the twentieth century and some of the structures were inherited from Africa and passed down to blacks from slavery to freedom (Dorsey, 2001)."

Lol

There are leagues and leagues of players like that. Oni or Brantley fit the bill.

 

[whatthe]

Tucker probably the best, but also throw Oni at Jamal Murray. Especially when the bench is playing.

 

[JazzyFresh]

My only issue with playing the DLeague guys is that they get not benefit of the doubt from referees.
