Chalk up another excellent reffing job. Totally not biased.

Jesus ****ing christ NBA. How do you miss someone grabbing a ****ing leg??

Pretty easily. I didnt even see it in real time. Refs probably guilty of ball-watching as well.

There's a reason they're the top 2 in the East and we aren't

not sure we wouldn't be

jazz subbed him out late in the 4th after he bricked three consecutive jumpers.

I dont care what we're short on-- playing your players while they're gassed loses you games, and puts your athletes at risk for injury.

It was stupid, and tbh we lost the game because of it.

You are wrong. Check it yourself: http://www.espn.com/nba/playbyplay?gameId=401071270

10:06 Donovan Mitchell enters the game for Raul Neto 91 - 88​

DM rests at the start of the 4Q then gets subbed in at the 10min mark for Neto. Plays for 4 min and then gets another break for 1.20min. Get your facts right.

Sure, the whole team was tired, it showed and was one of the main reasons we lost. But give credit to the Bucks and Giannis too: superb defense against a tired team = W

Because we play in the west?

I thought the refs were good for the most part. Let a lot of contact go on both ends.

As far as the out of bounds calls, can't really comment because the feed I was on never showed replays of those.

Bucks are a damn exhausting team to guard as well. So many shooters then you have Giannis ramming it down the lane. I can see how Giannis dominates so easily against most teams.

Looking at the schedule, the Jazz *should* win 5 of their next 6 games.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Jazz aren't elite until we add one more offensive player who can create his own look.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I have to say, Bledsoe was underwhelming. If you're going to be small, you really have to bring plus athleticism, and I'm not sure how much of it he has anymore.

Yeah, if we had Rubio or Exum.

The rest of the season is going to be a toss up now. Rotations are going to put a huge strain on Mitchell and Ingles, both of whom are already strained as is.
