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

[r_u_s_t_b_u_c_k_e_t]

Rubio was terrible for us. He was left wide wide open and even more open in the playoffs...

Rubio shot 36.1% from three this season. Conley shot 37.5%

 

[Ron Mexico]

Wait till they add tonight's game to that number.

It will still be very solid.

Ha, you didn't only say that. Let's see:

The only way for them to be net positive is to drop 30+ while “only” allowing 25 points from the opponent on the other end. That's the only way for him or Conley to be net positive on the court.

The problem is that Conley can "only" drop 20 when his opponent drops 30+.

scoring 20 pts a game simply isn't enough for this series. other PG can simply destroy him on the pick n roll and drop 30+ point night in and night out

And maybe I should bring all the times you call him a washed midget who can't defend, rebound, shoot, pass or dribble. I have no problem with him being criticized (he deserved that for the first few months of the season) but I do when the assesment does not consider the positives. For some reason, you've had an infatuation with Conley this season. You only see negatives even when there have been positives, just so you can support your argument (also by using some iffy numbers or false statements, like the opponet dropping 30 on him).

you learnt math right? I thought Harvard teaches Math.

what's the difference between scoring 20 then allow opponent to score 30,

and score 8 points while allowing your opponent to score 17?

I'm from UCLA myself so don't BS me.

What bothers me most about Snyder. I know it's not politically correct to knock a guy's masculinity nowadays, but damn the man is effeminate and effete. Did you see him sporting those skinny jeans in the last game?

What the

Can't even imagine him making an inspirational speech.

Here you go

You can't tell me we couldn't have used Mudiay to spell somebody tonight or last game.

Mudiay isn't good...

 

[Ron Mexico]

Rubio shot 36.1% from three this season. Conley shot 37.5%

Yeah, he struggled early but turned things around. Rubio shot worse with the Jazz and literally was not guarded. We played 4 on 5 on offense and he was no help on defense.

I agree to get a better fit player. But Rubio was not good for us. Conley is much better.

The trade was not a great choice though. We could have done better.

The company was Amazon. Lol

I'm still really really just really really impressed.

One of my best friends in Mexico worked as a top manager for Amazon. She is a Chicago Booth MBA. She hated her experience there, and yeah, HR sucked big time. She got an excellent job afterwards because 'Amazon' resonates.

So yeah, going to an ivy league doesn't guarantee you are smart. Same goes for someone working at Amazon. You don't know me and I don't know you, so we can only judge what we write on a random sports forum.

And again, your colleague was a moron.

 

[r_u_s_t_b_u_c_k_e_t]

Yeah, he struggled early but turned things around....

Conley also happens to be a career 37.5% shooter from three. He didn't turn anything around. He just shot the same as he always has... one percent better than Rubio did this season.

Who exactly scored 30+ on Conley? Because his assigments the whole series has been Craig and Monte Morris, except for tonight. It seems UCLA didn't do a good job teaching you.

 

[Ron Mexico]

Yeah, that's a solid number. He's a solid shooter that has to be guarded, unlike Rubio.

 

[jazzVA]

Rubio shot 36.1% from three this season. Conley shot 37.5%

they’re pretty similar at this point in their careers, both have moments but are also physically overmatched at times and inconsistent with their shots...but one costs so much he wrecks the roster flexibility...

 

[jom2003]

except for tonight? why tonight? Who did Conley guard tonight?

And did he get outscored by the guy he guarded, or did he not?

Sounds like the perfect excuse for a theory that wouldn't hold up.

Then we're all good.

China is our best friend, well except for their recent Communist era.

Here you go




Mudiay isn't good...

That's inspirational to you? Reminds me of Michael J Fox in a B movie trying to act tough so the guys will respect him. Weak sauce. Reminds me of an Amway meeting.
This is an inspirational speech:
