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.

i think "punching the air" is the NBA signal for a charge?

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

What about in the playoffs?

Yeah. I watched some Ersan highlights, lol. No difference between charges and offensive fouls. I think there may have been a difference in the Europe and that's why it stuck with me but I am not sure about that either now, haha.

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.

Can't believe he didn't challenge that one

In the last 14 games Royce has scored in double figures once (he scored exactly 10 points)

He is our starting small forward who plays about 32 minutes per game.

He's 1/22 on 3's in the last 7 games and has now missed his last 15 attempts.

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

I don't think you're wrong, unfortunately. It's been a weird season with everything being shortened and COVID still a problem. When things like that happen, you get abnormal results. Honestly, if this was any normal 82 game season with no pandemic, the Jazz is probably not 1st and more in line with what the franchise has been for the last 20+ years - exactly that 4/5 seed.

Jazz may luck out and grab that first seed but it won't mean much in a seven game season. That's my concern. We'll see and I hope this is just a bump in the road before a strong finish and a really, really successful playoff but it just seems like the Jazz is this year's 2017 Boston Celtics.

anybody here taking anabolics?

Yeah and he's basically the only one other than Rudy who rebounds. But really he gets his spot because we are woefully undermanned against wings on D. And that's the bad part, that he's probably our best perimeter defender against the bigger wings. And that's also going to be our achilles heel.

We can win the whole thing but we have to:

- stay healthy
- shoot 40% from 3
- stay out of foul trouble
- make the extra pass

- hope we don't play an opponent that has two guys go off like Murray and Jokic did last year

You missed defend the perimeter, and limit second chance points.
