idk what changed, but conley played a lot better once he came back from a hamstring strain in january. it was mostly those first two months that were really bad.

if either team wins the series handily it will be denver but i still see a pretty hard fought 6 or 7 game series. mitchell will be the best player on the floor in at least a few of the games imo and it should be a series where gobert can stay on the floor the whole time. will be interesting to see how they deal with jokic playing out of the high post and how much that draws gobert away from the rim but there’s not many guards on denver who can put pressure on him off the dribble or on switches. i would still take denver in 6 prob but i don’t think they have an extra gear they’re gonna hit or anything.

will also be curious to see how much impact porter jr has with an above average wing defender checking him every game
― J0rdan S., Monday, 17 August 2020 03:47 (three years ago) link
its the playoffs baby

Denver swept the Jazz this season and Jokic pretty much dominated so I don’t see the Jazz doing this
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 17 August 2020 15:42 (three years ago) link
Honestly don’t see the Jazz being able to do too much to guard MPJ
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 17 August 2020 15:48 (three years ago) link
I presume they put O’Neal on him most of the time
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 17 August 2020 15:49 (three years ago) link
presumably. if porter jr blazes thru the series that would be impressive. he will no doubt get some buckets in games but i'm curious to see how he holds up w/ teams strategizing how to attack him on both ends
― J0rdan S., Monday, 17 August 2020 17:02 (three years ago) link
I fuckin love MPJ

the only reason the jazz are in this game is because jordan clarkson hit two ridiculous shots at the end of the first quarter
― k3vin k., Monday, 17 August 2020 18:21 (three years ago) link
ok that donovan mitchell dunk was one of the most impressive I've ever seen
Jamal Murray makes it impossible for me to believe that the hot hand doesn’t exist
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 17 August 2020 18:32 (three years ago) link
it exists until it doesnt... ergo it doesnt exist
― lag∞n, Monday, 17 August 2020 18:34 (three years ago) link
double clutch dunk was insane

Bubble officiating...

Swipe block from Millsap there
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 17 August 2020 18:40 (three years ago) link
gobert looks like he doesn’t belong out there
― k3vin k., Monday, 17 August 2020 18:41 (three years ago) link
theres always been an awkwardness and clumsiness to his game, not a fan at all. aesthetically the worst player in the league to watch.
― Spottie, Monday, 17 August 2020 18:43 (three years ago) link
yeah hes lame and overrated
― lag∞n, Monday, 17 August 2020 18:49 (three years ago) link
screen assists tho...
― Spottie, Monday, 17 August 2020 18:50 (three years ago) link
triple double baby
― lag∞n, Monday, 17 August 2020 18:52 (three years ago) link
gobert's a decent shot blocker and he doesn't hunt blocks to the detriment of his overall game, as compared to, let's say Whiteside. you can build a good defense around his interior presence.

Guys Gobert is depressed and going through a lot
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 17 August 2020 18:54 (three years ago) link
hes a super spreader
― lag∞n, Monday, 17 August 2020 18:54 (three years ago) link
that was an absurdly good defensive possession from gobert
― k3vin k., Monday, 17 August 2020 19:02 (three years ago) link
lol dorris talking about his screen setting

Why don’t coaches believe players in challenges
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 17 August 2020 19:07 (three years ago) link
Jamal isn’t gonna be wrong there
porter getting hunted by clarkson on switches and getting dusted every time
― J0rdan S., Monday, 17 August 2020 19:25 (three years ago) link
he’s a pretty good help defender tho
― J0rdan S., Monday, 17 August 2020 19:26 (three years ago) link
denver really needs conley to come back and take some of mitchell's touches
― k3vin k., Monday, 17 August 2020 19:29 (three years ago) link
denver should consider guarding mitchell
― lag∞n, Monday, 17 August 2020 19:49 (three years ago) link
it’d be nice to have harris
― k3vin k., Monday, 17 August 2020 19:51 (three years ago) link
mitchell toying with nuggs defense on every possession
― J0rdan S., Monday, 17 August 2020 19:51 (three years ago) link
overall prob not an awful sign for denver that mitchell is gonna score 45 and utah still might not win. but they should figure out a way to defend him
― J0rdan S., Monday, 17 August 2020 19:52 (three years ago) link
his passing has been insane too
― k3vin k., Monday, 17 August 2020 19:52 (three years ago) link
jokic rolling downhill on the pick and roll vs rudy looks like denver’s best offense

looked like jokic had him shouldve gone into goberts body instead of fading
― lag∞n, Monday, 17 August 2020 20:04 (three years ago) link
same i said “got him” as he started dribbling but he let gobert off with no contact
― J0rdan S., Monday, 17 August 2020 20:07 (three years ago) link
jokic shoots like 80% in that situation it feels like
― k3vin k., Monday, 17 August 2020 20:07 (three years ago) link
in watching rudy gobert attempt to catch a donovan mitchell pass and then take a single step without losing the ball, i get why donovan mitchell hates him
