Celtics v. Jazz: Feb. 28th @ 7:00pm MST

and those who were complaining about the Refs were spot on. They gave everything to the Celts.
It's so hard to beat a great team when they get more calls than you too.
 
it wasn't just 2 minutes, it was the whole 4th quarter, but yea, the last few minutes got even worse. Doc Rivers should have got a tech for his tantrum, but instead the refs give him a handful of make up calls, even though his team was already making out like bandits.
 
I resolve to stop complaining about the refs so much. The more we complain, the worse it will get. Same for the players and coaches.
 
Where has all the optimism gone since the Indy game? lol. I agree the Jazz need a SG who can shoot and another shooter off the bench. Millsap should be on the bench and his rebounding is fine even though he struggled last night. Just a few games ago he had
17+ rebounds (Indy). Jefferson was a man last night. I thought the Jazz played their hearts out last night. I can live with the effort but the execution down the stretch was inconsistent and that was the main reason why they lost. Besides the clanking of outside shots and a few poor refs calls, I thought the Jazz played well.
 
cowhide, yes, I think it was ultimately a promising game last night for Utah. Right before Bell went down with his ghost injury he started to produce better than he had all season. Perhaps after a few games he will get back to that level. Miles has been utterly dreadful. Not sure what to do at that position, but it is a giant hole right now.

Also, I wonder if Harris is going to be shooting less FT's in a Jazz uni.
 
It wasn't just the fourth quarter that the refs tried to help the celtics. Ignore the horrible missed call on the AK dunk and the travel call on Jefferson that should make you shake your head. Go back to the second quarter and watch all the moving screens the refs allowed. I saw KG grab AK on two screens and at least three more where celtic players had to take a step to lean into a moving screen. These screens (if you can call them that) gave Pierce open shots where the Jazz had no choice but to foul. This allowed Pierce to find his game at the foul line and score while the clock was stopped.

Yea I may be complaining to much about the refs, but it was clear the Jazz got hosed for the sake of the Celtics.

This was a stronger moral victory to me because of how well the Celtics played. They ran some incredible plays last night, hustled, got all the calls at the key time, and played Celtics basketball. The Jazz lost a hell of a game. The difference was AK's arm getting slapped, no call, and Ray Allen draining a nice pull up J at the other end. Without that sequence this was OT. Without the atrociously suspect 2 minutes the Jazz win.

01:49 Harris Turnover : Traveling (2 TO) WHO CALLS THAT? Every ******* in the NBA does a little hop step to create space to get off a shot! That's NEEEEVVVVERR a travel call on Kobe, Wade, freakin' Ronnie Price, Sundiata Gaines...HELL, list any PG/SG/SF in the NBA and I'll tell you that EVERY ONE OF THEM gets away with that same "pro-hop"! I'm not saying that's not a travel, because technically it is...but that call was such ******** I almost puked on my girlfriends cats!

Okay, I'll see your "this game", and raise you this season. If you see my season, and raise me this decade, I'll see your decade , and raise you to the last 3 decades, starting with the Jazz playing the Lakers in the playoffs back in the 80s, when I first noticed that the Jazz didn't get the calls, and started rooting for them.

The refs were bad. So was the defense, giving two completely uncontested 3's to Allen and PP. Oh, and our shooting.
 
The fact of the matter is that the Jazz are just not a very good team...regardless of the dudes with whistles.
 
It sounds like I missed some good entertainment. As for the fouls, the Celtics got called for 6 more fouls than us. Sounds like it was bad though.
