Re: Game 8: MEM vs DEN
Actually ended up with a couple days off so drove 7 hours yesterday to Memphis to catch this game in person. Was behind the basket when Ja hit the 360. I've missed being in the Forum.
JJJ had himself a good game. Got frustrated at one point and coach let him cool off on the bench, but when he is locked in on offense it leaks into his defense and he really steps it up. He honestly blocked/altered more shots than he got credit I thought, but almost every block another Denver player recovered the ball and scored ha. His defense on Jokic to end the game was solid. Thought it was interesting not putting Adams in after having Adams shadow Jokic most of these two games.
We had a good JJJ fueled run with Ja on the bench to start the fourth which was huge. Let him get some rest while we took care of business on the court. Anderson also with another good offensive game.
5-3 playing mostly playoff caliber teams. Yeah, I'll take that.
