Game Thread - Jazz @ Heat 4 PM MTN

[Sandman822]

Tough game to lose. Donovan had a rough night and Rudy let Whiteside get the best of him. It's hard to win games when you're two best players have off nights. If we can somehow end the calendar year at .500 I'll be happy. Our early schedule is brutal.

I've been saying this for a while now, the Jazz' schedule is ****ed but people don't want to use that for an excuse here. If the Jazz are playing 0.500 ball during January/February where they get some home stands then it's time to panic. The Jazz' estimated W/L based on their strength of schedule is 9 - 14 according to ESPN, we're 11 - 13 currently.

There's some clear issues that will prevent the Jazz from being a serious title contender as currently constructed but the Jazz aren't going to be in the Zion sweepstakes.

It's pretty sad when Rubio's 3 point % is quite a bit higher than donovan for being known for his terrible shooting

Gobert sounds off

Gobert sounds off

I love it and agree 100%
Mauer is the guy who screwed the Cavs game 1 of the finals last year. He also called like 5 techs in like 5 seconds one game.

Sucks to lose on a BS foul call

I was equally pissed at Olynyk offensive foul call. That was a blocking foul and free throws for the Jazz

I hate NBA refs. So rigged for either the moment or for stars.

And the play before the Gobert foul on Wade when Mitchell drove, he was fouled harder than Wade w/ no call.

Gobert will get fined for that but I 100% agree. Ken Mauer and kane Fitzgerald are the absolute worst referees for the jazz. It's unbelievable what they can get away with

The ref who called the foul on Gobert wasn't the side ref that normally makes those calls - it was the ref from the back. Which would be fine in instances where it's clearly a foul and the side ref somehow missed it. Bit harder to swallow when there was really nothing there, in a tie game with 3 seconds left.

Refs refs refs. Enough with the damn refs! Basketball is a game of runs, sure, but we need to look at the Jazz team and put everyone on notice for that 0-20 run.

The blame is squarely on the players and a bit on Quin.

They’ve got to look at themselves in the mirror. Hard.

And Rudy complaining about the last foul call, how about looking at the other 47 minutes and 57 seconds.

Sheesh!

Dude the last bs call cost us the game...

Yeah it was a ******** call, but it won’t explain letting the Heat back into it.

The refs have been terrible all year, for everybody. There is no conspiracy against Utah. I blame the team, completely, and absolutely.
