Jazz @ Grizzlies 6:00pm (MST) on ESPN

The positive is that regardless of how poorly we play we always seem to have a chance to win. Tonight we were on the road. We shot poorly. We let the opponent dictate the pace of the whole game. The bench struggled. We still only lost by one.

All four of our losses so far were winnable games if just one aspect of the game that was under our control was better.

Lakers game could have been a win if we took care of the ball better.

Clippers and Kings games could have been wins if we boxed out and grabbed rebounds.

Grizzlies game could have been a win if we controlled the pace instead of lettting them dictate.

Like we could realistically be 12-0 despite the Conley struggles, Ingles struggles, various injuries, etc. Says a lot about the potential of this team.

Yikes. We traded for the wrong Grizz PG. could you imagine if we had someone like Morant with Mitchell? I guess that’s what Exum was supposed to be.

anyway, once again we get nothing from our backup 5 and our 4 position is just bad. It’s what’s holding this team back and will ultimately doom it. We have Rudy and nothing else down low. Green underachieves and Bradley just isn’t an NBA player.

Without more behind Rudy, too much Davis, Kuzma, and this guy are going to end us in a 7 game series:

The Lakers can't shoot for **** and LeBron is their only shot creator off the bounce. We match up well against em. They didn't even shoot 40% from the field at home against us. Despite all that size they had a whole +2 advantage in points in the paint and only a +5 on the glass.
 
So I guess Quin should be mindful and save his timeouts just in case he needs to challenge something at the end of a game?! I don't know the rules just seem a bit screwy to me.
 
Now that I've had many hours away from my initial reaction, and to rationalize sensibly, I'm even more disappointed with Jeff Green's effort. I've also come to the conclusion that Quin is also to blame here. You do not reward that type of effort, with highest minutes played to Jeff Green off the bench (21 minutes).

When you come to the Jazz, putting in effort is a non-negotiable. Period.
 
I'm not buying the arguments that we shouldn't have allowed the game to be so close in the first place. That was such an obvious hack. Even if there wasn't a clear angle (which there was), using the laws of gravity, there is no way the defender got just ball.

There needs to be automatic reviews for last second plays that could determine the game. There's basically no point to those "oops, we were wrong" last 2 minute reports.
 
Aminu anyone? He’s barely playing in Orlando.

Not yet of course. The trade couldn’t be done til December anyway but who’d do Exum and Green for Aminu?
 
What are people’s thoughts on Conley? I saw some Jazz fan on Twitter saying how it seemed obvious last night that he doesn’t want to be here.

There’s a different angle on reddit in slow motion that is obvious a foul

Honestly it almost looks like an intentional foul to stop a fast break or something. Doesnt look loke the dude is even going for the ball. Looks like he just reaches out and grabs Donovan on purpose

I am more disappointed in Dante. He didn't score a single basket or dish out any assists. That's not what a point guard is supposed to do.

I know they technically got the call right but the way they went and took Green's three off the board was a bit bizarre to me. Like I didn't see any refs signaling for a review. They didn't stop and look over at it during a break after a foul to go check it, the check happened between quarters. And as far as I understand it wasn't a coaches challenge. And why can refs review that and not the foul on Donovan.

Im surprised it took this long to discuss this play and it needs more discussion. Im quite sure that most of us dont realize what even happened.
So locke said that it was the first time in nba history that a 3 point shot was reviewed to check to make sure it was a 3 and not a 2 and during the review it was found that the players foot was out of bounds so the entire 3 points were simply taken away. That has literally never happened before.
Also, if he was so far behind the line that his heel was out of bounds then why did they think his foot might have been on the three point line lol. He must not have been close to the three point line if he was so far back he was out of bounds.
