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

Added to Calendar: 09-01-20

Niang is not fine. my lord. he should not be a rotation player in the playoffs. dude is inconsistent, and when hes on only does one thing. that wont get you by elite teams.
He does more than just shoot. But he is a role player and more of a specialist. He just shouldn't be getting significant minutes and possibly no minutes in the playoff time.
 
Everyone is upset and I get that , but to not have your second leading scorer , to go 7 games against Nuggs , is a great effort ...

I thought in this bubble , Donovan took a huge leap forward ... just ran out of gas ...

We definitely need an athletic 3/4 that can 3+D And has more size than Oneal ... Denver got what we needed in Grant , he was huge for them .

disagree— we need an avery bradley, Marcus smart type defensive SG. We have O’Neale as our 3/4
 
Joe could've shot a bit more, but I don't think this is some crime against humanity. He was our 4th (Mitchell/Conley/Clarkson) option and played like it. And our offense was great through 6 games. In game 7 he shot it a fine amount, just didn't make 'em. Like everyone.

And below, you know, Tony Bradley.
 
You just hate for this team to lose, man. So many chances to put it away. Still thinking about it this morning
 
That obvious charge against Ingles should've been challenged. And I think down the stretch, it would've been better to sub in Clarkson for Mike, and put the ball in the hands of Ingles and let him do the playmaking not shooting. Despite that he isn't a PG, he has the highest basketball IQ and is the best playmaker on the team. But it's over now. I didn't like this team much in any case with Mike at the helm. Just isn't a good fit. And Rudy certainly needs some help. We were not going to go anywhere with Rudy being our only reliable big, except a second round exit. Most people didn't expect us to beat Denver, so aside from that letdown in game 5, they did pretty well.
 
In December we dump X and Jeff Green at the same time and basically have Clarkson to show for it. Last night that first half and the start of the third quarter was so bad that I honestly think this year's Utah Stars could have done as well.
 
2 games in a row with Nokic having 5 fouls with about a full quarter to play and the Jazz don't foul him out. Unforgivable.
