When you jackpot around all game, this is what happens.

 

[SteakNEggs]

7.8 points, 5.2 rebounds 14 mpg, 16.9 per
6.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 32mpg, 8.1 per

Who's who? I'll give a clue, one is Javale McGee.

Lopez drawing a "charge" while standing far inside the restricted area:

cost the Jazz around 2.6 points in this case. probably the best risk/reward challenge opportunity of the season, but Quin does nothing.

It wasn't called a charge, though. Refs said offensive foul. Gobert lowered his shoulder.

That said, I think it was a good play and challenging it made sense but it was probably one of those calls that refs are unwilling to overturn because the contact is clear.

JMO: the Jazz are a 4-5 seed walking around in a 1 seed body. I hope I’m wrong.

Conley could have played tonight and sat out tomorrow night. Would've been better. Thunder don't have much.

Officiating in the nba is stupid. I think it was the very next play that Ingles absolutely gets plowed by Beal but does the normal human reaction instead of crumpling to the ground and it was a play on.

The refs were trash tonight... not just against us... they were really bad

The Jazz are 1-7 when Dovovan shoots 25+ a game

It's just too many shots for him to be taking. He seems to lose efficiency the more shots he takes.

For sure, flopping matter

I believe the awkwardness plays a much bigger role, though. Gobert gets a pretty fair whistle in PnRs because he rolls hard and is comfortable in those situations but when he creates his own shot, he doesn't really command respect.

It's one of the reasons Jokic doesn't get fair enough whistle too. He has an awkward body.

Beal looked much more fluid and in control so he gets the benefit.

I am not sure that is correct. I may as well be wrong and missed it but refs signalled offensive foul and not a charge.

Edit: it seems there isn't a different hand signal for charges in the NBA but there is in Euros, I think. If it was issued a charge, no way that doesn't get overturned.

It's exactly what shows how good we are. Whether we win or lose isn't based on just not being good enough, it's almost 100% our effort. We play hard, particularly on D, and the other team will require record-level performance to beat us. But we just try to coast along and we lose. We haven't had a team this good in a long time where success is dependent entirely on whether we choose to win or not, basically.

Which is why there is no reason to put too much effort in the regular season right now. We need to stay healthy and get ready for really matters, the playoffs. We should be able to coast to the #1 seed now. We need to put bad teams away early though more often. It would be nice to get wins resting guys and putting in low effort but that won't happen every time(although it has most games for awhile). Especially when a team is shooting hot.
