Utah Jazz - Denver Nuggets Series Thread.

[MHSL82]

Jamal Murray's 'meaningless' 3 was a huge loss for BetMGM with one bettor having a $215,000 swing

I know @MHSL82 likes high individual assists.

Will he like 32 team assists, and only 6 turnovers, in a 19 point win, in the playoffs?

What about today's 27 assists, 10 turnovers, and a 37 point win, in the playoffs?

4 players with 4+ assists in game 3.

3 players with 4+ assists in game 2.

3 players with 6+ assists in game 2.

(Not a typo, I just wanted to repeat the same sentence structure, in the middle sentence, as the first sentence).

When the 8 second violation happened in game 1, I thought history had repeated itself.

The Clippers lost a close game 5 against Phoenix when Cassell committed an 8 second violation in 2006.

0:36.2 S. Cassell enters the game for J. Singleton 101-101
0:31.0 Turnover by Team (8 sec) 101-101

The Jazz had 0 blocks and 2 steals?

Lol.

That has to change, if they are to win.

14 assists and 10 turnovers would normally be bad, but they shot 57.5% from the field, and 14-29 on 3's, so whatever they were doing, worked for this game.

The Nuggets only had 2 steals and 4 blocks.

4 combined steals and 4 combined blocks. This might be the worst defensive game I've ever seen.

@MHSL82, thoughts on these?

This is why the Jazz never win series in 5 games or less.

They're not getting blown out, but they're not getting stops.

Yet again, the Jazz don't win a series in a short amount of games.

They had a 15 point lead, and lost by 10.

This is like when they had the 3-1 lead against OKC in 2018, or Houston in 2008.

They could have win in 5, but didn't.

You make more money if you play more games. Just kidding.

But I thought that Murray was out. I saw multiple sources saying he wasn’t going to play. Same thing with Morris. (I am I have the second guys name wrong, but it was a 10 point average scorer.) No excuses, because, of course, the nuggets are good enough to win 2 to 4 games in the series.

 

[nuraman00]

Murray did play. He had 41 points, 8 assists, 8 rebounds, 1 steal.

 

[nuraman00]

Jazz had a 10 point lead.

Now Denver is up 54-46.

 

[nuraman00]

If the Jazz are to win today, Mitchell and Ingles have to STEAL their way to victory.

 

[nuraman00]

Congrats to Denver.

Mitchell and/or Ingles have to be on Murray at all times in game 7. Put your best defenders on him.

Otherwise, bad coaching job by Snyder.

What are your keys to the game for today, @MHSL82?

 

[MHSL82]

What are your keys to the game for today, @MHSL82?

1. Hold Murray to 49 points. Ok, fine, I would like 39 or fewer.
2. Mitchell 30+
3. Conley 20+
4. Ingles 10+
5. Gobert 15+
6. Clarkson 15+
7. O’Neal 5+
8. Gobert 2+ Blocks.

We need to get 6 of these 8.

Excited for this game tonight. Such a fun series.

I think Clarkson will do what you asked. Not sure about Ingles, but it would be a good time for him to get steals.

I also have a good feeling about O'Neal.

I guess I'm not going to say much about the top players, because I have no idea what they'll do.

 

[nuraman00]

I'm on the DVR.

2:40 left in the first half.

i'm not going to wait until halftime to post my thoughts.

Jazz down by 16.

They never hold onto a lead! They were up 5-0.

This is the worst game I've seen in months.

And they're not rebounding!

Their defense seems like it might be ok, if they could actually get rebounds; and stop turning it over.

Those things should help their offense.

 

[nuraman00]

All of that work this season to lose in the first round? This sucks.

 

[nuraman00]

And yet again, they had a 3 point lead late in a game, and couldn't hold on.

Do the Jazz ever hold into leads in playoffs games, that are 4 points or less, and only a few minutes left?

 

[nuraman00]

I think Clarkson will do what you asked. Not sure about Ingles, but it would be a good time for him to get steals.

I also have a good feeling about O'Neal.

Why did I get a face palm? Lol.

How many did they do?

Also, your spelling of Royce bothered me. I knew there was something wrong with it. It's "O'Neale".

If you knew both teams would score under 90, what would your keys have been then? Would they all have been scoring ones too (except for the blocks for Gobert?)

 

[MHSL82]

Because it is right next to “like” button and my finger was fat... but not anymore.

Mitchell, Gobert, and O’Neal the same. Everyone else 5 points less than what I stated. Maybe I should have said Jokic under 28.

If I knew it were 80 points instead of 90, Mitchell and Gobert would be the same and everyone else 6 under.

Oh, and Jokic travelled. I’m sure we did, too, somewhere.
