Game Thread August 30, 2020: Nuggets at Jazz - Game 6

[JazzyFresh]

Here is the sad reality.

Rudy disappears in the playoffs.

Royce is literally on the court to defend and has been getting torched by Murray.

Ingles is absolutely horrible.

We have nobody besides Mitchell who can create and make their own shot.

Quin is one game away from blowing this series.

Crazy to me that there are people who still want to max Rudy after seeing him in the playoffs.

The thing that made Ingles who he was was his moxy and bad boy **** talking attitude. That hasn't really existeted in 2 seasons

Okay, so you're argument for teammates is that Rudy, Clarkson and Conley have provided the same as Jokic, Grant and whoever else you want add.

Jokic is a legit threat. Clarkson and Conley are streaky.

And Murray has had the better defender on him than Mitchell has.
And yes I think Clarkson and Conley are more of a scoring threat than jokic and whoever.

Clarkson is THE scoring threat in this series outside of Mitchell and Murray. He just sucked tonight.
Conley has been a scoring threat his whole 100 year career.
Jokic is a great scoring threat as well

Murray has outplayed Mitchell in this series imo (seems like most of the other posters agree) but Mitchell has been fantastic. Amazing series from both players.

They shot 54% from the field and 50% from 3. I thought Denver was the team that didn't play defense.

 

[LoPo]

Jazz should trade Rudy for more complimentary pieces for Donovan.

Yeah, I said it.

Been saying it for a while. Rudy doesn't translate to postseason success. He's good, but not a focal point. Maxing him would be a massive mistake.

Jokic is a threat who rebounds, plays defense and is used on every possession.

You're really going to compare Conley's contributions to Jokic? Come on Fish, you're better.

Jokic plays defense? How can you believe that after all these games where we picked on him? LoL.

I disagree about nobody being able to create a shot besides Mitchell.
Clarkson and Conley can and have often.

It was behind him and DM does it a lot because he leaves his feet with no idea where to pass it. Rudy dropped a lot of good passes that wasn't one of them.

I agree. Wasn't a great pass. Catchable? I think so, but yes, it was a suspect pass.

To tell the story of this game without mentioning Jamal Murray would be a ridiculous oversight..

Touché

We lost and we will lose this series, I hope we pull out a victory as the underdog damn I miss Bogey

Creating their own shot and making the shot are two totally different things.

 

[JazzMan4Life]

Yeah, that's enough. Game 7 will be the last Jazz game I will watch in a while.

I will be happy if Rudy leaves for a better team. He will be good to watch.

And when either Jazz manage to build a team around Don or he leaves after his 7th.

Quin also should try his luck somewhere else. Heard Phila is hiring. Could do well with Simmons.

Cheer up dude
We're gonna win game 7
Donovan is gonna be happy with his max contract
Rudy is gonna be happy to sign a great long term contract
The front office is gonna see Don's incredible progress and find a way to make it al work

I said he plays not necessarily plays well. Lol

We have attacked MPJ and we always use Rudys screens. Jokic was always going to be part of the attack because we use Rudys screens.

Major LOL at anyone who thinks Murray has had the better series than Mitchell.

Mitchell has brought it every game and is leading the league in PPG in the playoffs. He’s averaging 38.6 PPG.

Murray scored 12 and 14 points in games 2 and 3.

Actually, I think it is just this season that this has been different. I think Ingles was really impacted by the roster changes this off season. The team’s identity changed dramatically and Ingles, who used to embody that old identity, looks like he has been orphaned.

 

[NAOS]

The **** did I just watch.

I get that the gameplan is to not guard mid-range shots or foul on jumpshots but when someone has demonstrated that they will hit every shot with any space, DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY SPACE. Worry about the rim if it gets there. We have the personnel to be better than this defensively.

I’m really not sure about your confidence in the personnel. Scratch that... I totally disagree.

Do we want to sign Rudy to a great long term contract?

 

[NAOS]

I would put Oni on Murray. Oni is better going through screens and would stick him to prevent him from shooting the three. If you take away Murray's threes the Jazz would win.

It’s ****ing wild that Q hasn’t even tried this.

 

[NAOS]

Do we want to sign Rudy to a great long term contract?

Yes, even if we pivot and end up trading him.

You said Jokic is a 2 way player, he is not. He is a terrible defender. Net negative on defense. A liability. A sieve. Whatever you want to call him. Just not 2 way.
