Game Thread Feb 02, 2022 08:00PM MT: Jazz vs. Nuggets

[DasJazz]

Great win given the circumstances. Hopefully we start righting the ship now.

It was great to get the W but this one was worth watching either way. Energy, effort, hustle and heart. It's been a while since we've seen this type of passion.

 

[The Thriller]

Our C team beating the Nuggets C team isn’t normally newsworthy, but with how bad things have been, good to notch up a W.

I think Forrest and Butler actually playing and looking good is newsworthy. Butler especially. It was also good to see this team play with effort too. Something we don’t always do.

 

[Agent#00]

Forrest 18pts, 6/7 fg, 8 assist, 1 stl, 39minutes

good one

Forrest the leading scorer, Dok with a near double double and highest + on the team. Maybe our youngsters are pretty good.

 

[Isaiah 1:13]

That's a weird menage e trois.

And you just had to go there didn’t you?That’s an image I hope I can erase

[Handlogten's Heros]

Is there any way we can schedule more games with the nuggets?

 

[The Thriller]

I'm liking Forrest's game more and more

Reminds me a lot of a very young Rondo

Sometimes players need to know that their coach has their back. What kind of message is sent when everyone in the arena is begging for a challenge but you refuse to support your team?

That challenges are a waste of a timeout in most cases? I think most fans understand it.

I’m old enough to remember Sloan racking up techs to wake his team up. Sure we have up free throws but the emotions released usually helped the team. I think this team could use more emotion. It needs a coach to get fired up.

We're talking about challenges, not techs. Losing a challenge doesn't give a momentum boost - the most it does is gets the players pissed at the officiating. And as we've witnessed PLENTY this season, the team tends to mentally check out when they get upset at the officiating. They don't use it as a rallying point, they stop getting back on defense to complain to the refs.

I thought Bogey was shooting the 3 instead of waiting for the foul and panicked but it's nice to finally enjoy a W.

 

[Isaiah 1:13]

Forrest the leading scorer, Dok with a near double double and highest + on the team. Maybe our youngsters are pretty good.

Who knew right? Definitely not Quin, that’s for sure!

You shut your filthy whore mouth!

I wonder if this changes the FO's thinking on making a trade. The Jazz will have House, Spida and Gobert back. The guys rose to the occasion.

 

[KqWIN]

Well we won the **** bowl, but I’ll take it. Been a long time since this team has won a basketball game.

 

[Jingled]

Hell of a game from Forrest! Glad to finally get off the Schneid and get a W.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I cant tell how much of Dok's issue are conditioning, care level, or just ability.

Sometimes I think he just doesnt like basketball.

But then he dives on the floor for a loose basketball. Not many dudes his size who will do that.

I think he's used to guarding the paint. He's not used to challenging guys and then recovering. Just not a multiple-action player yet.

 

[MT Steve]

Appreciate Denver for keeping us afloat during these trying times.

 

[Isaiah 1:13]

Say what you want, scrubs vs scrubs, yada, yada, all I know is that they played great and we beat em with guys that been seeing nothin but G League minutes! And 4 against 5, this game was huge! Very satisfying win as far as I’m concerned.

We just lost 5 in a row and 11 of 13. If one win changes the front offices thinking then we're screwed.
