Official Game Thread--12/30/2010: Utah at Portland 8pm MT...FSR-UT/KFNZ

Sheesh. They call Earl for a block. OK. But next play down the floor, they call Ronnie for a charge when it was an obvious flop.
I wish the NBA would be like FIFA and stop rewarding acting like that.
FIFA now gives out yellow cards if you flop. Why not give out technical fouls for flopping?

Millsap is OK against the likes of Gomes (a.k.a. Bass) and probably Batum.

After Fes bumbles a bad paint shot, Bell draws a great charge, and Utah takes the lead by Price or Watson. Porty and Utah trade leads.

Fes shuts down Aldridge; LA passes it off, and Price makes Batum earn 'em at the line, after a near-shutout for half of a quarter.

Less clear to me was how much better Millsap would be playing alongside Fesenko than alongside Lazy Weezy. Simple enforcement of accountability (limiting Jefferson's first quarter minutes until he proves to perform) would've have resolved this long ago.

Matthews flops to draw a foul from Fesenko at 5:20.
 
wow, all the excessing whining the blazers have done is paying off. Of course, the refs let the blazers scream and then call a T on the jazz when they have something to say.
 
And then Sloan goes back to what has not been working: Millsap + Jefferson.

Is Elson hurt? FE or Fes should be playing whenever Camby is playing--and especially when Camby and Aldridge are playing. I don't understand why the coaching staff is so oblivious to this.

The Blazers haven't been whining; they are just being better actors.

This game has been all about controlling the paint. When Jefferson and Millsap have been in without a true Jazz center, the paint has been Portland's. Zone defense by Utah hasn't helped.
 
Also, these are the worst officials I have seen all year. 5-6 just atrocious calls...both ways too, not just against the Jazz. My favorite was when Matthews saved the ball and it hit 6 inches out of bounds before going back into play and being recovered by the Blazers. Play on.
 
You think Fes can play all game? Yes, he played great D, but the jazz offense wasn't producing anything.

Millsap and Jefferson already scored on hustle plays. Maybe ArmchairStrategy is so oblivious.
