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

[The Thriller]

Trade rudy? Rudy isn’t the reason why we lost.

Jingles and Royce going 2-8 and 10 pts is.

The problem has always been finding better wings. Give us another athletic wing like Grant and this series is over. We’ve always needed a bit more juice at that wing spot.

Mitchell throwing a temper tantrum. Come on, you're better than this.

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.

I agree DM has had a better series but the last two games Murray has been the best player.

I actually love it. This team is playing soft. Glad he’s showing some fire. Come out and drop 60 next game.

 

[Eminence]

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

No no, it's game 7 where Royce or Ingles is going to figure it out, I'm sure of it.

 

[LoPo]

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.

I was saying 2 way on offense. Sorry if I was misunderstood. He can shoot and pass. Rudy is simply one dimensional

Good point, it's definitely very close. Murray has him beat on assists, rebounds, and has less turnovers.

Name one playoff series Rudy has dominated.

Ingles and Royce are horrible too.

Don’t even get me started on Ingles.

 

[jom2003]

niang himself is a perfect reflection of our season. good offense can't make up for the horrendous defense. you gotta have GREAT offense in this case, not just good

 

[The Thriller]

We really need another 3D wing and a backup 5 for this team to take the next step.

He’s the architecture of the entire defense. Other than in this series, that’s really meant something. You need to check yourself.

 

[JazzMan4Life]

We’ve packed it in, guys. Where are all those Conley Bros who were taking victory laps? .

Our defense is ****ing feckless.

I agree our defense has been terrible, but I don't know many "Conley Bros" here. I think everyone agrees it was a bad move.

Nah. There were victory laps and I-told-you-sos.
@silesian was it you? @Saint Cy of JFC ? There are others. Show yourselves.

By throwing and breaking things? I disagree. I understand his frustration but that is not leadership.

 

[JazzForLifee]

We will win game 7

or an actual PF who can box out and collect the board behind Rudy when he is drawn out to contest the shot.

Having Jokic makes everything easier on offense for Murray. Everything.

On offense, Jokic does everything as good or better than Rudy except lobs:

Screens
Spreading the floor
Passing
Catching the ball
Dribble driving if needed

Also:

Unless Conley is spectacular, he is a net-negative. Unless he comes off the bench maybe.

Juwan Morgan should play more. Tony Bradley definitely has his moments but when he's off he's a disaster.

Until this series Rudy Gobert has been the best player on this team.

If you'd have put a poll up I would bet most people on this board would agree. Just because Donovan has been playing immaculate offense doesn't mean Rudy all of a sudden sucks.
