SLC Dunk - Utah Jazz vs Toronto Raptors: The Overtone

I have a confession to make.

When I found out Tom Washington was the ref, I decided I wasn't going to watch tonight. That guy was the leading man in screwing the Jazz late in close games last year, including the missed call on the Rockets blatant foul on Withey's game tying dunk attempt.

The fact that everybody is upset about the officials in this thread was exactly what I expected when I logged on.

Depresses the hell out of me
 
Yeah, he played great D against GSW. THey are GSW though, so defense hardly even matters if they are hitting shots.

So if they are hitting shots that means defence was not good. You just can't be so delusional and think that you can give credit to defender despite somebody shooting lights out on him.
 
I'd go as far as saying Exum's played excellent ball thru 3 quarters. This a rather promising showing. He's out there making 'glue guy' play after play after play, and he's quick as a cat.. He successful just stayed with DeRozan and funnelled him all the way to the basket..

Yeah, he's been great, and that's exactly how he's gotta play at this stage in his career. That will get him plenty of minutes.
 
Hood is much better man to man defender than Hayward. I am surprised Snyder does not try him on DeRozan

statistics disagree HARD with this statement. Rodney has the lowest DBPM on the team. Hayward 6th best DBPM
 
sure we've all heard "first to 100 wins" I like to use the arbitrary # of 79 with the Jazz. Lets see how it plays out.

No, good defense is not entirely results based. It is if you contest shots, prevent players from getting to their spots, and play with effort. Sometimes you can do all that and the team still scores. It's an offensive league.
 
Jazz have a great chance to win as long as Casey keeps playing Bebe... he is empty space on offense, you can cheat of him anytime.
