Are Don and Joe both going to be suspended for Saturday? Both guys shoved Ed Malloy.

League's recent rule change really plays in the favor of teams that play tough defense. We just don't get into players bodies enough to take advantage, and thus became victimized as a result.

Hate to agree with Jom but this. Our defense is centered around rim protection and never fouling. They were supposed to not call the ******** moves but they have turned that into never calling anything. We can adjust or have nights where the other team roughs us up and we are disadvantaged.
 
I am not shocked that the Jazz lost this game. They have been playing crapping despite their record. The Jazz haven't improved their defense and got destroyed on the boards tonight. They are undersized at PG,SG. PF and Bogey is not a good rebounder. -17 rebounds with crappy 3pt shooting and poor defensive effort leads to a home loss. I am just not liking what I see with the teams' inability to adjust to running other plays when the 3pt shot isn't going in. Teams are figuring out the Jazz. They also know if they punch the Jazz in the mouth they usually crumble.
 
Hopefully Ryan Smith has Rudy Gay incubating in a massive multi-million dollar cryogenic tank, and he comes back on the court playing like 2008 Rudy Gay dunking on everybody, because we need something like that to get back to dominance.

The refs were awful tonight though. I think they got caught complaining a couple times but the biggest thing is when the refs are allowing people to get murdered we need to increase how physical we get.

I’m not surprised tempers flared. When you let too much contact go you will have frustration plus physicality and it gets ugly.

We were complaining all game whether there was a bad/missed call or not. On top of that they just didn't give a damn about competing and let the Pacers get a million offensive rebounds. I don't care how bad the refs are, don't let it affect your play. It does nothing to help you when you're right and it definitely doesn't help you the other times when you're complaining to complain and think the world is out to get you.

I don't have any sweeping statements from tonight...Just that the team played like a bunch of crybabies tonight. Let a 4-7 team on a B2B walk all over them and had no response other than to cry to the zebras. The only positive thing I saw tonight was Quin benching Gobert. Then when he came back in he actually started playing basketball and things went better for him. Quin needs to go back and treat everyone on his team like rookies again and not allow them to complain.
 
We will lose Saturday, if not from not being able to get our head out of our ***, then from the fact that we’re down 2-3 guys to suspensions.

I agree we were not intense or focused enough. TJ McConnell can’t go off like that. I don’t think we lost cuz we complained. We lost because we had a lot of lapses and also didn’t fight hard enough when the refs decided to swallow their whistles all night. The refs were pretty lazy too so maybe they are Jazzmen?

Yeah tonight should have been a schedule win if we either - play hard or shoot well… we decided not to do either and lose our cool.

it has to be roster adjustment. We have too many players that tend to shy away from contact. well now league's encouraging contact again. an enforcer like Crowder would definitely help a ton under this current environment.
