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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

You guys could use Austin Rivers -- a knock down scorer in crunch time. He's on the trading block.

By the way, this shot went in.

That stat does carry some weight
Does having the best record in the league carry any?

You'd be wrong - it is this year.

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?

yeah I’m his cousin, I call him little Mikey.

Mikes was a bad shot but let’s be honest Mitchell had like 8 bad shots and a missed dunk.
