Game Thread September 1, 2020: Jazz at Nuggets - Game 7

[latin jazz]

Sounds like you’re makin excuses for him. You can’t tell me that Snyder didn’t have a whole lot to do with our fixation on Conley which cost us our killer bench with players like Faves, Crowder and picks. Even Allen has become a decent guy off the bench.

The future pick really hurts, as it also hinders our ability to make trades now. The FO blew the vets signings, although many didn't see Ed Davis being this bad.

Question: if you have to choose between Crowder and Royce, what would be your choice?

 

[latin jazz]

like his defense was so good that it made up for his 2-13 shooting? you serious?

Not answering my question...

For all your Quin haters, Mudiay had 14 points vs both Dallas and San Antonio in the bubble. Think some of those might have helped when we were getting blown out? It's like Jeff Green, Quin can't coach up some players. That is an epic fail.

in all fairness, Quin tried to bench Conley and WAS TOLD by guys upstairs that benching Conley was not an option.

 

[Hekate]

For what reason would Conley not opt in? He's on the downside of his career.
I mean if we can say hey Mike we'll give you 3 years at 10 million each instead would that work?

He is a nice person?

 

[Isaiah 1:13]

Yes.

oh, so +/- is an indicator for defense? or to assess individual perfomance? didn't know that. Want to talk math? Let's go. I went to Harvard & MIT.

tonight his defense was really good. He fought over screens and stayed attached to Murray. He draw two offensive fouls in the first half. He got his hands on loose balls.

Again, answer my question: what were his positives according to you?

He’s not a bad player, we just paid waaay too much for him. Mostly it’s the fit. That being said he’s much steadier down the stretch than Clarkson. Snyder made a big mistake with that in game six IMO.

you seriously think Conley is that elite of a defender/Murray stopper that his presence on D alone makes up for all the bricks that he had tonight?

 

[stormkoopacv03]

Crowder brought toughness and energy which the Jazz really needed.

 

[jazzVA]

Yes.

when you start pimping your degrees on a sports message board you’re losing...

 

[LogGrad98]

This board is going to be insufferable for a while.

Going to be? You obviously haven't been paying attention.

Why couldn’t we have both if we sign a George Hill for example, instead of Conley?

Cy's been absent so yeah, the basketball IQ of the place rises ten fold.

then it goes back to my same old argument: "not bad" isn't good enough.
