Only 7 players are good to play, if we can call Murray and Harris ready...
3 PGs, 2 SG and 2 C.. I could see Murray, Morris, Harris, Craig and Jokic as starting lineup...

I don't get your countings and positions... Anyone else injured? 3PGs- Jamal, Monte, Dozier. 2 SGs Craig, Harris, Barton? Still no words about MPj. There is Čančar. So I have eight, maybe nine while Porter questionable (might to not know better sources). But who the hell is that second C?

Cancar at C probably, Barton is out, MPJ questionnable, Grant Doubtful, dont know if I put status correctly for each but those 3 are probably out, better to sit MPJ than play him trough injury and lose him and game

Ok so instead of coaches doing video sessions just show the guys Yul Brynner in Magnificent Seven and it could work.

Only 7 players!?
We should use Rocky the mascot as a PF backup to PF starter Vlatko Cancar today.

With GHarris and Craig only playing 1/2 the court (0-7 and 0-2 shooting) we're still surprisingly still in the game, down only 8pts at the half.

Jazz didn't outplay us but outnumbered.

Under these circumstances, this is a huge win. Joker is amazing.

It is almost miracle, career-first win for Malone as head-coach in Salt Lake City... but let's say this - playing with just 7 players, including two which barely play (Dozier and Cancar) we are on some strange way relatively better, because of:
- Malone is forced to play Jokic 40 minutes instead of 30, and Murray 43 minutes instead of 35. So, our best two players are just 13 minutes on the bench today, not 28 as usual Malone vision of Nuggets playing time.
- Barton is not a good fit for Jokic, and also the opponent takes us less seriously. Utah leads +15 in the middle of the 3rd quarter, and they probably thought we are done.

Seems shutting down Mitchell is the key to beating Utah, very solid recipe for victory against them. Clarkson does help but Ingles hasn't been the scoring option help (too inconsistent IMO) he was expected to be and Conley is a shell of himself.
