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

[latin jazz]

Conley needs to relieve DM of some offensive load now that he is defending Murray. At leat until Royce comes back. Let DM rest for a couple of possessions until is DM's time to close it out.

Helluva drive by Mike. Jazz have to want this more than the Nuggets. Simple as that

Good stuff LJ. You are spot on.

Murray totally pushed off DM. DM is play really good defense against Murray. I like the fact that they are getting the ball out of Murray's hand by double teaming him but Niang didn't rotate fast enough resulting in a 3pt. I always like it better when the Jazz are playing with the lead instead of behind. Come on Jazz lets lock these guys down.

Jokic has 5, just PnR him.

I don’t know how everyone isn’t seeing how badly we struggle on the perimeter and with rebounding when we play Conley + another small guard + Joe or Niang. It’s so obvious how this is ripping a hole in the defense AND making it harder to close out possessions.

Many of us do see this. Mitchell+Conley makes us very vulnerable to a guard like Murray. This is the type of scenario where we need a big defensive presence on the perimeter. Someone other than Royce who can go against Murray without opening all kinds of other 6'5"+ guys up with a Conley trying to guard them. It's a huge weakness.

I'm getting too old for this lol.

As has become tradition:

keep your eye on defensive rebounds. We can’t afford to give Denver an extra three possessions (or more).

We are getting worked by the refs right now.

[reignman40]

Game is ours if we go to the basket and try to draw fouls.

 

[Zombie]

****ing rebounds.

 

[SoUjazzfan]

Joe scared to shoot. Now is not the time

 

[NAOS]

Lol Royce leaves Murray

 

[LogGrad98]

The legend of Jamal Murray apparently.

 

[reignman40]

Denver finally making shots..

 

[SoUjazzfan]

Time for spida to be bubble spida!

 

[prodigy]

Ahhh. Damn you Murray

 

[LoPo]

Refs have O'Neale scared to touch his shadow. Normally, he dives for that loose ball rebound.

Why is the NBA giving Denver all this rest? 3 timeouts in 2 minutes of play?
