Eliminated by the Nuggets in the first round after losing a 3-1 lead, Donovan Mitchell and his teammates are hungry. According to Spida, the Jazz players are already ready to go back to coal as soon as possible, just to evacuate the frustration of an exit in the first round.
On August 24, before raclette replaced barbecues and while we could still enjoy NBA games in the early evening, the Jazz quietly led 3-1 against the Nuggets. Behind a monstrous Donovan Mitchell, the Utah players were one win away from returning to the Conference semifinals for the third time in four years. Except that on September 2, they had to pack their bags, freed from the bubble by the Nuggets’ first comeback in these Playoffs. A big disappointment necessarily for Donovan Mitchell, Rudy Gobert and the Jazz, which had raised some questions about the future of the team. But Spida quickly cleared up doubts about his future: it’s in Salt Lake City that the rear wants to win, and not elsewhere. Loyalty appreciated by Jazz supporters who should find the Mitchell – Gobert duo next season, whose tensions created by the microphones affair last March seem to have subsided. According to the Utah scorer, interviewed by ESPN, the group discussed each other’s feelings about elimination. Still frustrated by the scenario of these Playoffs, they are already ready to return to combat, all together, just to turn the page of a strange 2019-20 season.
“We could start the season as early as next month. We’re burning with impatience and I think that’s the right state of mind to have. I speak for myself and for a lot of the guys on the team. All the guys I should even say, including the coaches. We are ready to go back. “
With the absence of Bojan Bogdanovic in the bubble, Quin Snyder lost a prime offensive option. He had to integrate Joe Ingles in the five and therefore weaken his bench, which sometimes seemed to be limited to only Jordan Clarkson. No excuses to spoil such a lead, but reasons to believe in it for next season. A little patience all the same Dono, we know some guys who are hot to rest a little, in California or in Florida. The 2020 Finals aren’t even over yet, and the next season won’t start until January, at the earliest. Especially since there is an offseason to manage for Utah. Donovan Mitchell is set to extend to the max, and most of the forces involved are under contract next season. Main Jazz Free Agent: Jordan Clarkson. In a relatively unattractive Free Agency, the crunchy scorer of the second unit Utah will be among the best players in his role and should interest a few teams looking for a blaster off the bench. The Western Conference promises to be even denser, Donovan Mitchell will have to continue to ensure. At the end of his third season only in the NBA, Spida established himself as the leader of this Jazz team and had his first All-Star Game selection. Monstrous individually in the first round (36.3 points to 52.9% on shots, 51.6% from parking and 94.8% on free throws), the rear lost its duel against Jamal Murray. The two arsonists had shown mutual respect throughout the series and the Jazz scorer admitted to having carefully followed the Nuggets’ playoffs to incorporate certain aspects of his game into his. Can not wait to see it.
From frustration to worry after elimination in the first round, Jazz fans must now be very hot for next season with these downgrades from Spida. We do not want to spoil the atmosphere, but will still have to wait until 2021 to find the Utah franchise on the floor.
