[KqWIN]

I mean we got jobbed pretty bad. They can call so many of those during the game and opted to call them all then. The Bogey three foul was ********… especially since they reversed a call on him where the guy hits his forearm and elbow… but then straightens up.

It was WWE levels of bad/inconsistent today… glad we didn’t lose our cool.

I really don't like to think about the refs...but even I have to admit there was some weird stuff going on. Was the entire game too. That JC flagrant review turned into continuation was crazy. Almost every review takes away continuation....but they pulled that one out of thin air,

Anyways, it didn't feel like the other collapses. The whole foul situation was like a perfect storm for the Jazz to lose. Some of the same issues popped up as always, but I don't expect what happened at the end of the game to repeated again. Allowing one million free throws, deserved or not, is not something I'm worried about going forward.

We closed it out in the clutch and Royce hit a clutch three. Who would have ****ing thought?

HUGE win let’s ****ing go Jazz baby!!!

Any playoff win is a huge win especially when the refs gift them 34 free throws.

Jazz were undisciplined defensively. Refs did not screw us.

Glad they got the win. Also glad they experienced the Mavs making that run and holding them off. They need to exorcise that demon.

I do have to say it feels good being on the opposite side of injuries for once.

Nobody cared when we had Bogey, Conley and Mitchell all hurt for multiple different series. I’m not going to care if someone else is missing their players.

1-0 that’s all that matters.

I watched bogey get body slammed on a layup after calling 10 touch fouls so please don’t tell me what I know. Just go look at the season averages and tell me something wasn’t off.

Good game.
As an NBA fan I am just looking for some good ball and close game. Got that today.

We all know Jazz would have been smoked if Luka and Haraway were available. I can't figure Jazz out. Very talented team, but it seems they could lose every game they are in. A win is really a surprise.

Was amazed that even though he’s hurt 90% of his camera time he was complaining about calls…

I gotta give some credit. I have been watching for DM to fail, but he deferred. There were a good amount of typical low percentage 2s without a pass, but he deferred and assisted on some key plays.

I remember when I knew DM was money down the stretch, especially in the playoffs.

Another thought, I didn't really see another gear from the Jazz today. Did anybody else?

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

@Handlogten’s Heros I know people gave you a hard time for thinking Dinwiddie and Brunson could combine for 55-60 points.

They almost broke 50 but not quite and it only took them 39 total shots and 22 total free throws combined.

And I don’t think they can average it… but can they get there one time this series with Luka out? If Dinwiddie is hitting his pull-ups he is tough to guard. They can get there.

 

[Doc Cherno]

All I got is "whew."

 

[homeytennis]

Is it broke serve if we beat them at home?

Luka was out. We had to win this one.
