PrintDenver Nuggets at Utah Jazz, Apr 30, 2010 8:00 PM MDT
I don't know how professional athletes do it. Here I am an hour before tip-off sick to my stomach. So I don't know how athletes must feel. I guess they're used to it but as a fan you never do.
Of course it's game 6 with the Jazz having a good chance at closing out the Nuggets. Many picked them to win in 6 or 7 games or even make it to the WCF. That of course was before Memo went down in game 1. When that happened, everyone was suddenly wishing for a re-pick. I thought the series would go 7 before Memo got hurt and I have to admit that a 5 or 6-game series in Denver's favor was likely without him.
The Jazz seemed to rally around being short-handed and have played some inspired ball. They haven't gotten the stops they've needed in games and have had the offense sputter at times but overall they're playing well above expectations right now. However, Arnovitz makes the case that they're not underdogs at all with the way Deron has been playing.
They're favored to win tonight and should be given that it's at the ESA. The Nuggets have yet to show that they can stop the Jazz on offense. I guess you could say the same about the Jazz on Denver though too.
So here's what we'll be looking for tonight for the Jazz to win. One, they have to avoid getting in the penalty early. That killed them in the fourth quarter of game 5.
Next, they have to get the foul line themselves. This does a couple of things. Denver is a little thinner tonight with Nene out. Getting their bigs in foul trouble will help the Jazz dominate on the inside. Second, it controls the flow of the game. Billups said that if they're taking the ball out from the baseline all night they can't get out an run. I hope Deron gets double-digit attempts as well.
Finally, Millsap and Korver are going to have to have great games. Millsap has had a good series and should continue against Denver's second line. Korver will start hitting shots. He's going to have to get going himself though while not letting JR Smith get open.
And if all else fails, get it to the ninja.

We
REAAAAAAAAAAALLLLY don’t want this going to a game 7. Then it’s anybody’s ball game and they get it on their court.
Obviously everyone knows the pressure here but in my eyes. This is Game 7 and we need to play accordingly. Balls out.
You’ve gotta love it baby.

I’d start Koufos, Sundiatta, Jeffers, Price and Korver….because we’re going to start the game behind 10 points anyway, it might as well be for a good reason.

damn
Can we all take a moment to remember Deron’s pass and Millsap’s dunk.
damn that was cool

Man, 11 fouls on the Nuggets in the first quarter
4 guys with 2 fouls.
Can we get a break? I know its not all the referees, Denver is playing soft D too and not moving their feet or boxing out well. But even so, ugh.
the Jazz have gotten a bit of benefit.
but many calls have been on plays at the hoop, in transition, when the Jazz have had a fast break. They’re just getting more aggressive plays at the rim. Exact opposite from Game 5, when the Nuggets attacked and the Jazz didn’t.

Hate late whistles
Always think ref is just waiting to see if it goes in.
Just call it if it’s a foul
I caused the blackout!
BC7 who refs high school stuff told me that's actually proper technique
Which I subsequently told him is stupid BS.
I didn't agree with it... but I believe that's what's 'taught'
To hold the whistle. I dunno. Ask him.
it's a hard thing to think about
you’d like every call to be made in a vacuum, but it doesn’t go down like that.
Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?
SLCDunk.com: Bringing you ninjas, The KOOFs and anti-jinxes since 2008.
no, it is
my dad refs high school as well. If the foul is a minor one, you wait to see if it affected the shot. If it did, to the point that it misses, call it. If not, don’t.

Back to reffing
Also hate how NBA won’t show replays of half of the calls/no calls so you can’t see the calls they miss.

Would also cause that door to be opened so they can call press conferences and appologize to the world!

I dunno that that's exactly a conspiracy.
There’s probably some of that that goes on, but it’s sometimes hard in the flow of the game to grab the exact replay quickly. Sitting in the tech truck can be hectic.
Still, ESPN has the best crews in the world, it’s probably not the same as sitting in the BYU Broadcasting truck.

wow.
I just have no idea where the refs are coming from. They were baffling in the first half, but we were largely the beneficiary. Now we’re taking it up the butt.
And THAT was barely anything on Graham.

no, that was a cheap forearm shiver in a lost game
no class at all no sense at all pure dick move
I'll make it coach.
I didn't see him extend his arm at all on replay.
Maybe I need to see it again. Regardless, someone needs to call that warning out.
But you’re right, setting that hard a screen in the final minute of a series ender is a pretty dick move.

you mean like the Lakers....
they have superior talent, I wouldn’t consider them a symbiotic team right now…
yo
looking forward to sunday…should be a good one
"Just by the aura of D.J. Mbenga being there, the shot missed."
Great game from Booze and from Sap and from Price and from Wes
And DW. Can the Lakers list five players per game who had a great game? Or just two?
I'll make it coach.
Hey Nuggets fan here
good series, good win. DWill is a beast. Just want to point out that the Birdman screen is not dirty as some posters here are suggesting. He has two broken fingers on his left hand and he also bruised that left hand a couple weeks ago. Whenever he screens he covers that hand up with his other hand. He wasn’t trying to take DWill out, that’s just how a crippled Birdman screens.
so he was supposed to just lie down and walk off?
i understand its unfortunate but if Bird hadn’t screened there Chauncey would have eaten him alive in the locker room for not trying till the end.
That pick on Deron
Was the kind of hit we like to see our guys dish, but hate it when it happens to us. Hope DWill isn’t too hurt.
by BigIslandBound on Apr 30, 2010 11:27 PM MDT up reply actions
as I said
it didn’t look that bad to me on first replay. Haven’t seen it again so I’ll reserve judgment. But still… setting that hard a screen, with that little time left, with the whole state of Colorado crowing with delight, including everyone at Denver Stiffs, most of whom were vehemently calling for someone to injure Deron for the rest of the playoffs… Uncool.
Regardless, a great series, really entertaining, and the Nuggets have a ton of talent. It would be fun to see them put it together. I was actively rooting for you last year.
