[Handlogten's Heros]

Yeah I hate victim mentality. Bogey was was probably fouled but it was not that lopsided. It is just fab bias.

Most of the time it is… it was bad tonight. First half was a blood bath… didn’t think it was bad cuz it was consistent. 4th quarter was a comedy.

We won so whatevs… but their “comeback” was partly because they got every call in the fourth.

At work so I didn’t watch the game. Can someone sum up this game for me and did Mitchell shoot the ball every time he touched it? And what’s the deal with Gobert only shooting one shot?

Feels good to be up 1-0! All I can say is thank God for Bogey and Conley!

Also was the Defense really that good or was that Dallas just struggling without Luka?

What did they do. I need deets!! So pissed the jazz played that early.

Came close to choking it away. Royce hits a three to give the Jazz breathing room.

The odd moment of clarity? Having a good day or have they changed your meds?

Hey, I'm a New Yorker. There's two things we know better than everybody on Earth:
1) basketball and
2) basketball

It's easy to see that there are five guys on the Jazz who are better than everybody on my team:
- Donovan
- Bogey
- Conley
- Rolls Royce
- Clarkson

Good players, yet you crybabies bitch and moan constantly about your team. How would you like to have Frank The Frenchman as your longest tenured player? How would you like to have Phil Jackson trying to teach numbskull JR Smith how to play the triangle?

You Jazz do have racist fans, but at least you have good players and a good coach. I'd take 19,000 KKK members at The Garden if my team can just make it to the playoffs.

Both....Luka was missed, but the Mavericks scored a huge chunk of their points (especially in the 4th) on non-shooting fouls while in the bonus. They were fortunate to score as much as they did.

Bogdanovic was taking it to the rim early and often in the first half and keeping the Jazz in the game. In the second half the offence was running through him a lot and it was working.

Some bad 3pt shooting from everyone in the first half, I think we were 1-10 or even 1-12 at one point. Donovan hardly scored in the 1st half and was missing shots from deep and on drives.

2nd half Donovan calmed down a bit but even with his points being what they were at the end it wasn't a great game for him.

4th qtr the refs wanted to make sure everyone knew they were there and they called a 6 players on the court tech on the Jazz when Clarkson was clearly walking off the court. A couple times it looked a whole lot like Jazz players were being murdered under the basket but they weren't calling fouls. ESPN didn't really show replays so it's hard to say. They called two 3 second defense violations, one on Whiteside and one on Gobert that both got free throughs (so they must have called one earlier that I missed). The FT differential was big but lucky for the Jazz the Mavs missed a bunch of them.

Bogey was a monster on the block and Conley did most of his damage p n’ r and with the floater. They both hit big shots, both 3-4 assists, 5-6 boards, decent D!

If I was the Mavs I'd be so pissed at the officials.

I agree damn them for giving us so many free throws!

Naw, if you're gonna do something do it right and see it through. Why just go 90% handing the game to Dallas? Commit and get it done!
