Can't blame the Jazz. They haven't practiced with Gay at the five, yet.Rudy Gay at the 5 has coughed up our lead. It's just layups, put-backs and and-1s for Denver. Jazz might do better with Azubuike, tbh.
He has been terrible on defense the whole game outside of one or two highlight moments.Why the hell did Donovan just leave his guy wide open in the corner? 3 jazz guys in the middle already. We got lucky his guy missed. Stupid play.
Keep Gobert in the rest of the game to pressure them to leave Jokic in. He’ll be totally gassed by the end if he pushes near 40 minutes on a back to back. Then again, his game isn’t really predicated on needing a lot of physical effort. Just capitalize with him on defense.Notice how the Nuggets didn't take Jokic off the floor at all in the 3rd quarter.
Paschall needs to play more. We need a nasty energy guy. He's that guy more than anyone else.Great start to the 4th quarter. I loved the move by Paschall to get the and-1.
He’s created some spacing issues before but I’d say play him with the main guys and see where it goes. We went from three non-shooters to one without looking at two surrounded by good shooters. Put him next to Gobert, Donovan, Mike and Bojan and let him raise the energy level of those guys.Paschall needs to play more. We need a nasty energy guy. He's that guy more than anyone else.
Also let DM get high off the fumes of starting with his childhood buddy.He’s created some spacing issues before but I’d say play him with the main guys and see where it goes.
