Trail Blazers @ Jazz 8:30 PM MT: THE LOSING STREAK ENDS TONIGHT

Portland had a sixteen point lead in the second half and couldn't put the Jazz away. Shouldn't have let the game come down to a single call. *shrug*

Bogie? Well... yeah, he can score. But... hes a team leader in softness and in stupid plays. He rarely makes a hustle play. He makes TONS of careless turnovers (apple, cherry, and unforced). He takes terrible shots at the end of games. He missed the free throw tonight and swanigan nearly tied the game. His defense is meh at the very best. He cant rebound.

But he scores a lot.

The hate Conley is getting this game is mind-boggling. He single handedly brought us back into the game in the 3rd.

No, it was defense. We didnt have enough quality offense to brag about in the 3rd. Our defense FINALLY showed up for a quarter and we shut them down for a LONG period of time. When we had the ball we watched the it stick and we didnt capitalize on a lot of easy possessions. What happened to team basketball where we move the ball and give up tough shots for better shots and then get great shots. It died when Conley came back into the rotation.

Are you talking about Bogey? If so I very much disagree with pretty much all of this.
 
Watch Boogie more carefully when he isnt shooting. It's not compelling. He gets outrebounded constantly. He is a squishmallow compared to Favors and that's a big reason why we look so soft this season.
 
That was a bad call. The Jazz get a freebie on that play. Gobert reputation made them swallow the whistle. It is like MJ in the day but now Gobert gets it on defense.

We had a 117.0 Offensive Rating in this game. This offense was fine and Conley was great.

The defense in the second half was the difference. We stepped up and showed a little more hustle and toughness.

If the refs notice this malfunction real time the whole end of the game changes. Portland would have been down 116-114 with only 8 to 10 seconds left. There's still enough time for Dame to drive in that situation. But on the second night of a b2b, on the road, with only 7 active players, and that much time left? Dame may have decided to pull up and take a 3 W or L. Goaltend probably never happens.
 
Blazers scored 72 pts in the 1st half and only 42 in the 2nd half. Jazz upped their defense. Also note, Georges Niang didn't play in the 2nd half and only had 8 mins tonight.

He played 3 possessions to start the 4th and was benched for O'Neale.

Dude, you need to brush up on the rules of basketball.

Possibly. What are the rules for a ball in play off the glass where the ball has no chance of touching any part of the rim nor will it pass over any part of the cylinder area? Where does it become legal to touch? Does it matter if it’s a member of the team on offense or defense?

Quin really needs to stop taking out Clarkson at the end of games. I’m glad we broke the streak! I’m encouraged by the way Conley and Ingles played together today. We played much better defense in the second half.

The only way they can rationalize not closing games with Clarkson imo is he still hasnt got much practice time, ???
