Jazz - Nuggets: Round 1

[NUMBERICA]

I mean missing 2 of our top 4 guys is not ideal either. And more importantly 2 of our top 3 offensive guys.

That's what I'm getting at. But the Jazz didn't have a rotation full of rotation-level NBA players even before Bojan/Conley weren't here.

 

[Avery]

Denver scored 20 points in overtime. We just ran out of gas.

 

[rjfan]

game over. Denver has made 21 3pts today at 52 percent.

If you give nba level good to great shooters space and time to shoot comfortably, it shouldn't be a surprise at all...

 

[dipship31]

****ing waste jesus christ

 

[LoPo]

Call me a sore loser, but if the refs called the first half evenly, we win that in regulation. It was a home game at a neutral site home game for Denver.

Sheesh! what a game

 

[Avery]

We need more 3 and D guys. Maybe Brantley/Oni get there to a degree, but we need more.

 

[NUMBERICA]

If we don’t get that bogus 8 second call late in the 4th, we win the game.

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.

 

[Eminence]

Needed somebody else on Murray down the stretch there, I love Joe, but I don't know why we didn't try Royce, and if the 5th guy was just going to stand in the corner on O and play D it should've been Morgan, not Clarkson.

 

[NAOS]

Denver scored 20 points in overtime. We just ran out of gas.

Yep. Can’t be mad about that either. Look at the matchups.

 

[Zombie]

Well that sucked. Kind of glad I got busy at work and couldn't focus 100% during overtime.

 

[Eminence]

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.

Nah, Don forgot his brain, he wouldn't have made it over in 10 seconds.

 

[cowhide]

Jazz missed 30 3 pt shoots. They had 16 made which is a decent amount but the opponent made. Denver made 22 out of 41 so the score 18 more points than the Jazz on a higher percentage. 51.6 from 2 while Utah 47 percent. DM kept the Jazz in it but Denver just had more Gas than Utah. Jazz need more talented offensive players and some size. I am encouraged with the effort but DM is going to need more help.

 

[NAOS]

We need more 3 and D guys. Maybe Brantley/Oni get there to a degree, but we need more.

Nah, we should trade those pieces away ASAP for our next stopgap PG. Preferably one over 30

 

[LoPo]

Youngest since MJ with 50+. If you remember correctly, MJ was 1-9 in playoff games prior to Pippen. If Donovan can get a Pippen, who knows what is possible. He's already accomplished more than MJ 3 seasons into his career.

 

[NAOS]

Nah, Don forgot his brain, he wouldn't have made it over in 10 seconds.

That was a big punch to the gut.

 

[prodigy]

This feels like we lost 2 games. Absolute sinking feeling. I hope the players can recover, thats a tough pill to swallow.

 

[Bawse Dawg]

Third most points in a playoff game EVER. Behind Elgin and MJ.

The Mitchell Gobert debate completely flips in the postseason. Gobert could have done a lot more today. That supermax would be insane to give.

Nah, Don forgot his brain, he wouldn't have made it over in 10 seconds.

is it possible the clock started early? how does it take that long to walk a ball over the mid line?!

 

[LoPo]

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.

We should have challenged the backcourt. Yes, the 8 second count was close and really garbage call to make at that point in the game. But the backcourt on Murray when he touched it in the front court then carried it into the backcourt was a huge missed opportunity for Quin to challenge. Murray tied the game on the possession. Had we won that challenge, we're up 3 with the ball with 40 seconds left.
