Game Thread Mar 01, 2021 6:00PM MT: Jazz at Pelicans

[str8line]

Pelicans looked really good tonight. And we showed heart to come all the way back... but for one BS call.

 

[Hekate]

Yeah, I don't consider desperate comebacks to be "clutch". Easy to make shots when the pressure's off. The fact that we immediately reverted to ****ing ourselves again once we had a chance to win the game tells the real story.

This team ain't it. You have to be able to win close games, and they are garbage at it. That'll be their downfall in the playoffs - when they get in a criss, they melt down.

This was like the first stinker in like 30 games. If this happened last year, I would have agreed.

 

[SoUjazzfan]

Well, we certainly earned that L. We need to play 4 quarters or be resigned to our fate.

This has been the consistent story every time the Jazz don't have a comfortable lead going into the final few minutes.

 

[prodigy]

Don and Mike a combined 11 for 33. Not good enough.

 

[Utesnjazz]

Nice Conley. Hope yall hate on him like yall did on Don. We aren't in this game if Don doesn't light the fire.

Lol Don ****ing sucked major dick. We probably win the game if his retarded selfish entitled dumb **** lazy *** didn’t play.

Bogy and Conley diving on the floor are what gave us a chance.

Dumb **** golden boy Mitchell missed dunk after layup as typical with games like these.

This game reminded me of Game 7. Don was average but fought like hell to bring us back. Conley was invisible in the 2nd half yet got the ball at the end when he was terrible at execution.

And no, I'm not talking about the half court heave possession.

That over the back calll on gobert was just trash. Refs were awful.

 

[SoUjazzfan]

Kind of put things in perspective seeing Don sign his shoes and give them to that young fan. A loss isn't that big a deal, but for that kid, he'll remember Don's kindness forever!

 

[str8line]

Mitchell signed and gave that kid his shoes. Nice.

dimb **** golden boy Mitchell missed dunk after layup as typical.

So selfish he passed to Royce for the 3 to cut it to 1 with a minute left when he could have attacked the basket.

What are you Conley's cousin or just a friend?

Cost us the game quite possibly. You could see Zion grab his hands and pull them down.

They gave Zion a ton of calls.

The third quarter was like last year where the Jazz would let teams go on a 29-2 run. Just putrid. Ingles had nothing.

 

[MT Steve]

Jazz are 1-8 in games where they don't have a lead of 8+ at any point in the final few minutes.

 

[Hekate]

This has been the consistent story every time the Jazz don't have a comfortable lead going into the final few minutes.

There were multiple games this year where we have been punched and we punched back. We killed teams that were trying to come back. This team has shown they keep fighting.

Even in this game, which was a stinker, we fell behind double digits 2 times and came back and had a chance. You can't win every game, you don't even have to.

He does that so often... I've never seen a player more willing to give fans his time in those settings... a star doing it is crazy.

Pre Covid was at a game in sacramento... after the game he signed a bunch... someone that was middle of the arena and could not get a shoe in front of him yelled down. Don signaled to the fan to throw his shoe down for a signature. This was like 10 minutes after the game and all the other players are cleared out. He gets it.

[fishonjazz]

What an absolutely terrible shot from Conley. WTF was that?

It's like he thought he only had a few seconds to get a shot off and threw up some desperation BS.

Horrible decision by Mike

Since when? I doubt it includes much this year after we had an eye-opening playoffs that changed much about how we approach the game mentally.
