That's why the defense being so good was so important. Gives the offense a huge margin for error.

The Jazz defense was not good tonight. They fouled way more than they needed to. They looked complacent.

Great effort by the whole team. There were so many bad calls. Nuggs coming in from out of bounds on two different occasions to get a lay up without establishing first. These refs need to go ref some Jr. High games again to learn some basics.

No it really wasn't. I'm glad that they won but that was not a "great effort by the whole team". At best is was an ok effort at times from some players.

Negative Nancy.
 
I just want to point out that the team was 17-31 at this point last year, and went into the All Star break / trade deadline a pathetic 19 - 34.

Right now, they're already 4 games above that pace, and have a good chance to pull to .500 over the next 2 games against Milwaukee and Phoenix. Then hopefully at least split with Dallas/New Orleans, and they can go into the break at a solid 26-26 with the chance to make a push heading towards the playoffs. Not bad considering all the injuries so far this season.
 
Weird game. Glad they won, but it was frusturating to watch. Well part of that is I'm always stuck with the god awful whining bitches that are the Nugget announcers, but still, the game had no real flow.

Oh well, the won, that's what matters. Booker had some great dunks that really kept the crowd into the game. Neto had another fine game. Was nice to see Green get a little run even though he didn't do anything with it. Trey has been pretty awful the last couple games.

Huh? Denver had scored over 100 in 9 straight games before only putting up 81 tonight. Utah's defensive rating tonight was 90.5. Even by "best defense in NBA history" standards, it was good.

That block sequence with Favs and Booker was amazing to see. Not often you see Favs with 6 blocks. But I love when he isn't have a great shooting night, that he still has the ability to play out of his mind on the defensive side.
 
Gobert/Favors combined for 28 points, 16 rebounds and 7 blocks.

Jazz are 10-0 when holding teams under 90 points. After the All Star break last year, they held opponents to under 90 points a whopping 19 times (compared to only 6 pre all star break). Hopefully we see that defensive ability to close out this year too.

Have to say, the Jazz got the benefit of some blatantly bad calls this game, but we'll take it.

Gallinari flagrant on Gobert (didn't look like his elbow even made contact)
Nurkic goaltending a Hood layup (Nurkic didn't touch the ball)
Gobert blatant push on Faried alley oop (not called)

When I saw this live I swear it was goaltending, but the replay angle made it impossible to tell.

Didnt look like his elbow made contact? That thing hammered Gobert from what I saw. That is the way they call flagrants now.
