Remember when we used to be a good 3rd quarter team?

Quin has no faith in Dok.

Gobert has to play every minute or the Jazz fall to crap.

Jokic out lead gone for Denver. Gobert out lead gone for Jazz. Such a weird game.

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.

Can't blame the Jazz. They haven't practiced with Gay at the five, yet.

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.

Notice how the Nuggets didn't take Jokic off the floor at all in the 3rd quarter.

He has been terrible on defense the whole game outside of one or two highlight moments.

Pretty evenly matched game. We should have the advantage in the fourth where they are on a b2b.

Jazz need to extend the lead with Gobert on the floor till Jokic comes back or need to match their minutes.

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.

Great start to the 4th quarter. I loved the move by Paschall to get the and-1.

Paschall needs to play more. We need a nasty energy guy. He's that guy more than anyone else.

I guess COVID hasn't helped Joe's energy

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.

Also let DM get high off the fumes of starting with his childhood buddy.

Funny thing is, Gobert goes out and you know it instantly. Mitchell has been sitting for 3 or 4 minutes and I didn't even notice.

 

[MT Steve]

It appears that we are a considerably better team with Gobert

 

[LogGrad98]

Give Mitchell some credit. The last few minutes he's stepped up the defensive intensity.

Jazz bball is fun again!
