TBF, it was a terribly officiated game, and we got a lot of phantom calls and no calls when there should've been one. That said, Wall just needs to suck it up and deal with it. Refs aren't perfect, and judging by his shooting numbers, neither is he.

I felt bad for gortat. I thought gobert clearly plowed him over. Ive always liked gortat.

Good to see us getting the calls for once.

So nice to be on that side for once

 

[Coach Ellis]

Good lord, if our rebounding tonight was just decent, we'd be killing them.

Good lord, if our free throws tonight were just decent tonight, we'd be destroying them.

Joe Ingles becoming an above average defender and someone you put on the other team's best player might be the biggest surprise of the season

Surprised to see he is still a net negative on defense according to DRPM (-0.13). Just behind Hayward (-0.08).

 

[Et tu Brute]

Nah. Mack has been much better. You have to factor in competition level.

This is nonsense.
Neto is a much better defensive player than Mack.
Mack was rubbish defensively tonight. 5 fouls and abused constantly. Gobert saved his butt all night.
Neto is statistically the 4th best Jazz player defensively this year (mind you pretty small sample size - and excluding Bolomboy).

 

[The Midnight]

Damn it why do tall players have to be bad at free throws?



Imagine if Rudy can shoot 75% Free Throws. Would we not be top 3 in the West for the next 10 years?

 

[Et tu Brute]

Nice to see Exum have a bounce back game after the stinker last outing. And vs. some good defense to less. I'm still down on him, but, I'll cling to any glimmer of hope I can.

I'm not worried about him.
He is going to be great with the Spurs in 18 months time.

What PG in the league shuts wall down without significant help? Could you list 5? 3? Just 1? I'm curious.

Rewatch the game.
Mack was not good on defense tonight. He was very solid on offense. But basically finished a bunch of plays. Wasn't facilitating much.

Compared to Dante - he sucked on defense.

From the very first play he entered the game, Mack was abused.

But it's true. No pg can really contain Wall consistently.

I think you fail to see the array of skills Mack showed tonight. He did all the little things to help us win the game, neto couldn't do that . Nor would Quinn trust him to do so. Neto is a role bench player at best not a spark or closer it's just not in his skill set. Wall would have wiped the floor with Neto
