Durant is reaching in and 99.9% of those calls will be a foul on the defender but I forgot KD was a super star. My bad.

 

[David Stern]

That call is so bad on many levels. Durant landed in Lauri's landing space. That is automatically a foul for player safety purposes. Terrible.

I think the first play of 2OT was Ochai barely landing in Durant’s space. I mean that’s an inexcusable 6 point swing with officiating inconsistency

Lauri: 38 points (15/27), 17 rebounds, 2 steals, 2 blocks

THT: 25 points (9/18), 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals

Clarkson: 22 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals

Sexton: 18 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal

Collins: 15 points, 12 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 block

Keyonte: 7 points, 11 assists, 5 rebounds, 1 steal

You know what we would have called these last two losses last season? ELITE tank losses lol.

no idea why Hardy didn’t put THT back in. But hey atleast sexton got a few minutes and a crucial putback

 

[Agent#00]

The lady ref already called the foul. She was really close on the play. Then it’s turned over. Longest challenge review on earth.

Blatant misogynism by the NBA.

Hard to complain when the rookie gets 11 assists but 2/12 from the field with 5 turnovers hurt us tonight. It just seemed like they happened in crucial moments.

13 games into the season is a great time for him to work that stuff out though. Generally, you should hold back a little with rookies, but it is way too obvious that Keyonte is the answer, both now and long term.

Looked like a great defensive play to me, was probably the right call. Don't think landing space matters when it's a loose ball, and the instant Durant blocked the shot it is a loose ball. Just like the contact on the arm doesn't matter after the block neither does the landing zone. Anyways, I hate talking about refs. Could not care less about talking more about it.

Most disappointing thing about the call is that distracts from another poor performance. This team is a mess, no idea what they're doing on defensive coverages. There are some individual moments of brilliance, but this is not a good team. Lot of brutal mistakes down the stretch.

Hardy is out of his depth in coaching , year 1 was ok year 2 it’s a disaster

41W AND 54 L Hardy record now with Jazz

As far as I’m concerned, Hardy lost this game for us when he put Key on the floor 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter, and not only that, but he kept him there for the overtime periods. Key cannot defend (yet?), and he was our worst player throughout the game tonight despite his assists. THT, who played terrific, should have been playing instead of Key. Key looks to be a good, and maybe a great, player for us after a few years (perhaps even sooner), but when the game is on the line like it was tonight, he should not be on the floor “learning” from his rookie level plays and mistakes (unless our intention is to lose).
