I saw 1 view where it looked like it hit him pretty clearly. Whats weird is the ref should have immediately made a call when it did, and there shouldn't have been a replay. Then, they should have been clear when they made the announcement that it hit the official out of bounds. All in all it was a poor job by the refs, even if it was the right call.

To me it sounds like something they would say if they were looking for a reason to not change the call. That would also explain why they were hesitant to clearly explain it.

I’m still confused why he made zero attempt to move just a little.

I kind of hate the focus on the out of bounds call because it's taking away from the fact that the officiating was egregiously one-sided well before and after that.

Is Rudy only good vs non elite bigs and smaller guys? Embiid just dropped 40/19 on him. Dpoy?

Michell scored 33 pts on 34 attempts then says its about the calls. yikes.

Conley 35 mins just 2 assist and team high -15.

It can be about Mitchell's performance AND the calls.

This team has won A LOT with prominent players having bad games. That's why they are the Hydra.

This was one of those games that makes me question why I keep watching the NBA. Definitely brought back bad memories of Game 6 in the 98 Finals.

Exactly this. We suffered bad officiating in 97-98 and Dick Bavetta actually apologized for it later. This game for me called back those memories.

Don is shooting 37% on long twos (from 16ft - 3pt distance, source: Bbref). That's the worst freaking shot in basketball!
I want Coach Q to stop that regardless of the consequences.

I feel like lately he's been taking more and more of the midrange shots. And these aren't late shot clock bail-out situations - they're early in possessions.

There's no excuse for it.

Very tough loss to take in. No question the officiating was really frustrating, but the Jazz started to lose this game before those calls happened. They were unable to pull away and once again struggled to execute down the stretch. They were rushing and several players made poor chooses. On the other side, Embid was locked in. Got to give him a ton of credit.

All and all, it was a super competitive game between two top teams. The Jazz definitely held their own and had an advantage most of the game. Now they just need to start working out how to close games.

Dwight Howard came in and made some plays to get Philly back in the game. He gets away with a lot of physical crap. At times it looks like this video that Spida posted...



I bet the Jazz lead the league in the fewest technicals. The refs sure haven't come around to rewarding that sportsmanship. Methinks at times it goes the other way. The squeaky wheel...

Eh, the last time this team sounded off on the refs, it was Gobert, and he got whistled for two garbage fouls super early (one on the jumpball lol) and then ejected in our very next game.
