Andy Larsen summarized all MISSED calls for and against every NBA team in the Last Two Min reports

A football player has shown a red card to the ref to throw him out of the game. Maybe a Jazz player can do something like this too. But I wouldn't recommend it. Just play the game and make the refs aware that you are not buying it and these miscalls will only pumps you up to play better. That's the way it should be.

Nevertheless, how can you deny the missed call of that blatant hook by Lopez on Gobert at the end of last game that was crucial in the final outcome. That was so blatant -- I noticed it on TV before the slow-motion replay. Yes, the Jazz still had opportunities but that missed or was it ignored call really screwed them.

On the other hand, I can see the loser mentality point of view. Perhaps the Jazz just need to fight through this and stop worrying about fouling, which results in those ticky-tacky calls. It seems sometimes that they're trying so hard not to foul that they end up with those ticky tacky calls. About the only guy who doesn't seem to worry about that is Chris Johnson who really gets after it and ironically doesn't get that many calls against him.

You can call it a loser mentality all you like but it is the responsibility of the NBA to make officiating as even and consistent as possible. I generally support officials while at the game and tell fans that was the correct call. There is zero doubt in my mind that the officiating will in the end cost the Jazz the playoffs this season. Lopez' hook and the no call on the Withey dunk against Houston are two direct losses I can think of off the top of my head. Should the Jazz have done better and not been in those situations sure, fine. That does not change the fact that they lost due to officiating. With as many close games as we have had this year and in a race as tight as it is that will be enough. Officiating effects the flow of the game. People complain that Hayward is not a number one option. If he got the calls of most teams number one options we would be competing for home court instead of eighth. Hayward is like a pinball being bounced around the key with never a call

Exactly, and tonight Amir Johnson was holding onto Rudy off the missed free throw, when the Jazz could've gotten it back and had a chance to tie or win, and used it to propel himself to the loose ball -- this really blows. Wtf is up with this officiating?
