Last Nights Officiating

Hard to get assists when nobody is making shots.

True, but 9?! And one combined from the pg spot?!

I've seen this same statement multiple times. The Jazz are LAST in potential assists at 34.8 a game. The next lowest is the Pistons at 37 a game.

I don't think it was dirty. It's how one naturally stops on a dime. They plant with their leg out, not straight up and down. Play a sport for once you clowns.

It was a bit reckless, because he wasn't challenging the play at all and was so late, but it wasn't dirty. Payback for the CJ foul on Hayward in Preseason?

Booker has been awful and Lyles needs to be in Idaho. I smell a trade coming.

I did think the officials were terrible last night, but it went both ways. Just no consistency it seems.

I thought the refs called the first half mightily in the favor of portland and then tried to do some making up for in the second half and gave the jazz allot of calls

Two of the slowest paced teams in the NBA. "Per game" stats are stupid when the Jazz play so much slower than everyone else. Of course their "per game" numbers will look awful!

You're exactly right. Adjusted for pace, Jazz still last at 37.87% possessions with a potential assist

That didn't look dirty at all. I've seen that in pretty much every game. It looked like a lazy block attempt on Booker's part, but nothing dirty at all. I didn't see any comments or here much outrage from Blazers fans about it either (granted, I haven't looked all that hard either, though a google news search showed up nothing other than a couple people saying Booker should have been called for a foul).

Seems to me. Every time the Jazz face one of the NBA refs who has a slick back "mafia" haircut. The calls are always terribly inconsistent. Tim Donahey wasn't the only ref who is crooked.
