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

[Avery]

This could be Conley’s last game in a uniform unless he decides to walk away from $34M.

Which seems pretty ****ing unlikely to me.

Mitchell looks like he's ready to go home and write social justice tweets from the comfort of his own bed.

Not at all. He is trying on both ends.

We are a 6th seed team. Denver is a 3rd seed. Pretty obvious.

Gayle should threaten DL to trade Conley to fix his error or leave the Jazz

 

[LogGrad98]

We need to play focused, not desperate. Right now we are playing desperate.

Are you crazy or what?? You gonna have trouble

I'm glad our players frustrations by kicking chairs and throwing things mounted to playing really great basketball in a game 7

This. I called it out after it happened. It was an obvious sign of poor leadership and more going on than meets the eye.

 

[LoPo]

I have faith. Outside of a few Clarkson moments, nobody really played well. Shocked its only 14.

We can do this.

Remember though. We were up by 15 with 5 minutes to go in the 3rd.

Yep. If we hit half of our wide open 3's, its really close right now.

Seeding has nothing to do with blowing a 3-1 lead though.

The real issue is do the Jazz believe they can come back. I do not see signs that they believe. This second half needs to be DM time.

He needs to pay for his child

7 game series exist to prove who is the better team. They are almost exactly right.

We had a 3-1 lead due to unreal shooting and Don. Shooting has cooled and Denver's talent advantage has emerged.

Mitchell gonna go nuts one way or the other in the 2nd half. Leave it all on the line and let the chips fall where they may.

 

[jom2003]

Like I've always said. It's SO MUCH EASIER for Denver to stop DM than for us to stop Murray.

If the ball is forced out of Murray’s hand, you bet that someone from the Nuggets namely the Joker will happily take over and drop 30+ points on us like in G5. Whereas if Denver is to double DM and limit his shot, we will have Conley again scoring 15ish pts on 10 attempts.

Every kid needs a Bugatti.

Every kid needs a Bugatti.

He will be able to provide that thanks to our stupid president DL

 

[cowhide]

The series changed when Denver started picking up our guards before the half court and then they started pushing them out and we are having trouble getting into our offense. Now frustration has set in and the Jazz seem already defeated. We will see if this team has any fight or not starting the 3rd. They need to cut the lead to low single digits to have a chance. I would really like to see us pressure their guards even if it is just token pressure. Make them work to get into their offense.

What ever happened to "Jingling" Joe?
