Game Thread Aug 25, 2020: Jazz at Nuggets - Game 5

[Handlogten's Heros]

I was happy when Q turned to Morgan in the 4th. Thought he should’ve played that hand for longer.... especially with Joe going full wallflower.

If starting Conley has to happen I might consider either

A- Getting Joe the ball to start the game a bit... felt like we wanted to get Conley going so let him initiate early.
B- Start Morgan or bring him in early for Joe... I love Juwan's work on Millsap thus far.

Hopefully they don't have much fight left.. I don't expect them to lie down though.

With Juwan I just love that he stays within himself and just executes his small role well.

Obviously the Jazz are likely going to score in the 120's again as it has happened in 4 straight games. The biggest key is defensive rebounding. Jazz dont really have an answer for Murray if he is on his game, and I guess they don't really need one as long as they rebound and continue to hit their open looks.

Rebounding and turnovers are key to closing this out. We have plenty of firepower and motor, I'm not concerned about the hustle stuff, we're doing fine there. But giving up that many offensive rebounds is flat out inexcusable. Snyder needs to stress this heavily in film and practice.

Seems like they had an answer for Murray in games 2 and 3. I just think Murray played out of his mind last night. I wouldn't change up the gameplan. I doubt he scores 50 again. Stay on Jokic.

I'd imagine it's more awkward when you're meeting in the lobby on your way out of the bubble.

Ingles guarded Murray a lot in Games 1 and 4. He’s not equipped to guard him. The answer to slowing him down is Royce.

I mean, like I said, "if he is on his game"

I have to give OKC credit, they are proving a tough out for HOU. This game is make or break for them.

Soooo not to break up the party but did you know Denver has to pack their bags before the game... literally like reality tv... that’s tough to pack yo stuff then go play with a winner’s mentality.

So if they win they unpack and then repack in a day or two for the next game? That's stupid if correct.

HH did say it was like reality TV.

 

[NAOS]

ESPN is showing an injury report for this game and Jamal Murray is listed as OUT. Can anybody confirm that? It’s the first I’m hearing it.

Another note: Jokic has an incentive in his contract that was set to pay him $430,000 for advancing to the second round.

Really? They ship them out as soon as the game is over? That seems weird. And if they win tonight (as if) they'd have to do it again Thursday. Ugh!
