Gobert back? Easy win
 
This feels very must win. Team has shown hints of a potential implosion happening. Nuggets on back end of back to back… should honestly be a pretty easy win but we like to make easy things hard.
 
So if we lose this one do the wheels come off?
They really might, at jazzfanz at least. But I think the team is under stress at the moment and it could start getting toxic in that locker room.
 
It's going to be an interesting game to say the least. I'm curious to see if Mitchell makes any effort at all to feed Gobert when he's open. I think it will be a close game and Rudy may feel some ill effects from being out for a week.
 
Is Gay here because Jokic couldn't handle guarding him. Its the sort of matchup that we need to continue to cultivate for flexibility during the playoffs. Still, I am excited for Gobert to be back!
I'm excited to see Rudy Gay during the Playoffs. I think he's going to steal some of Bogie's minutes. Gobert is back at the perfect time - we would have zero answer for Jokic without Rudy. And it's weird seeing Jeff Green play so well for Denver. The trick is to go inside early and get some guys in foul trouble as Denver has a garbage bench (thought I do like Nnaji).

I'm sure glad the Jazz waived Uncle Jeff and replaced him with Rayjohn Tucker.
 
Lol, Mitchell slept through a cut 1 minute into the game.
