What's new

Last game of the season -- Jazz @ Blazers 4/11/2018 8:30 pm MST

Tough place to play the back end of a B2B.

Jazz were tired, and it showed.

Thankfully we'll have a few days until the next game. We'll be fresh, and focused.
 
"They were just being physical. I haven't played... I don't think a lot of us have played against that level of physicality ever," Mitchell said. "It's a little taste of playoff basketball. It took me about thee and a half quarters to figure out what that is."

Mitchell is a rookie. He's learning at an incredible rate. And he looked better at the end of the game already. This was good preparation. Let's get it.
 
Synder outcoached tonight
Why would Neto even see the floor?
Rudy got dominated he seemed slow tonight. Hope he can fix that for the playoffs. Also, Rubio needs to shoot more he is the engine.

True. Who woulda thunk it? Earlier this year no-one in their right mind would have wanted Ricky to shoot more. Lol. That is a testament to the progress he made this year, way to go Rick!

Here are my observations:

#1 Portland was really prepared and focused. They came to play and played well.

#2 The refs gave every call to Portland in the first half. It was comical.

#3 Mitchell got some good schooling which should help in playoff prep.

#4 It is complete and total bullcrap that we had to play such an important game, game #82, on the 2nd night of a back to back. Whoever schedules NBA games is a freaking moron. That should never happen. If our playoffs lives depended on last night, how incredibly unfair that scenario would have been.
