GT: Oh noes, we have to play the Spurs 8:00 MST

Really good for everyone, team and fans, to get the win. Favors with another quiet 20+ night. Hayward hit some nice shots in clutch time. Still those 2 free throws missed at 50 seconds left in the 4th were inexcusable. Exactly what I mentioned in the last game thread. Burks was attacking, passing, and playing decent d for once. Trey played better, I loved his attacking the lane and passing out of it. Gobert had some really nice blocks, and dunks. He seemed to energize the team at points. Thats what he is there for. That call on Favors at the end was a JOKE. WOW. Favors destroyed Leonard.

Not bad, but 6-9 from the line stings more when he bricks 2 FTs to close out a game.

exactly. Hays not a bad FT shooter. He just has missed too many important FTs this season. 3 missed FTs in the final minute of a close game is not ok.

So I'm watching the replay....

I guess Pops got thrown out. The bench players all look much better.

And resulted in a very interesting coaching matchup after Pops got tossed: Snyder vs. Messina. Quin is coaching like a mad man. I like that he's not afraid to switch offense and defense at the end of games.

The thing that sucks is that his 1st miss was understandable, I think it rimmed out. That happens to even the best of players, you barely miss a FT. His 2nd one after that was probably the ugliest FT I've seen Hayward take. It looked ugly in his release and it came out super flat and off-center. That tells me it becomes mental after his 1st miss, which sucks.
 
Still don't get why Burks likes to go under screens on great shooters. He did it to Danny Green early in the game and left him wide open, then he did it later in the game to somebody else (may have been Green again). Other than that, our 3pt defense seemed to be pretty good. They straight up missed some shots, but I think we did a good job running them off the 3pt line.

Damn that was a nice win. Helped by the Jazz actually playing worth a damn and shooting better from the line, though they tried to **** that up in the last minute.

Wish Favors would be that motivated/aggressive most of the time.

Yeah, he missed a lot of fairly easy looks and didn't get down on himself and disappear, it was nice.

Is 20 FGA a career high for Favors?

And he had the nasty restricted area fade-away while getting fouled the whole way to the paint. Hayward is just putting too much pressure on himself at the FT line.
 
Great win. Contributions from everyone. Nice

We even survived the PAC 12 officiating. That ref who called the foul on Favors' textbook block? Should be suspended indefinitely without pay and made to watch 500 hrs of clean blocks before being reinstated.

Agreed. Aside from his FT troubles he did pretty good to close out that game. If he had made that three the place would have erupted.

I continue to be extremely impressed with Gobert. Hood is also showing his ability to drive and get to the hoop. Very high on him right now as well.
