Jazz lost this game because of this stat:

Sexton: 28 minutes played
THT: 20 minutes played

Those need to be swapped.

It doesn't have to be square on.

But I do agree that the rule as written is lame. It's not real basketball.

So you’re telling me as long as someone is in legal guarding position and they get bumped it’s an offensive foul?

I'd like to see Kessler get a chance to swing games like he did the Atlanta one, in situations where our offense is stuck in mud and our defense is getting slaughtered at the rim.

Create a spark with stops at the rim and fastbreak opportunities.

Every player in the NBA has an ego. I don't see it as a problem. It would be very dumb to trade him now unless someone makes a big offer or he's a part of a bigger trade. He will get better this year. Most players struggle a lot after missing a season young to get going again.

I'd trade him for an expiring contract and a handful of 2nd rounders.

The charge call was the right call you guys.

I think the rule is stupid as hell, but that IS the rule.

Fine but they dont ever call it that way.
To get a charging call in real life and not on paper you USUALLY have to be set and waiting for the offensive player to crash into you. Refs usually side with the offensive player and the defensive player had to go to great lengths to get the call. OR the offensive player has to extend thier arm out greatly or something.

The call might be right according to what is written on paper in a rule book but the call was wromg in comparison to how its typically called.

We lost the game when Lauri went to the bench and Sexton came in for THT.

The rule is, if they're in legal guarding position and receive significant enough contact to displace them from said legal guarding position, it's an offensive foul.

It's a stupid rule, and this was a textbook example of why it's stupid. He didn't establish legal guarding position until it was too late for THT to veer away. Just a dumbass rule.

I agree fish, but the thing is, the Clippers challenged it.

Once it's challenged, they have to apply what the rulebook says, not what they would "usually call".

Seeing that charge replay. FOH

I'm sure you and yamers would. But you guys don't have a great track record. But I'll let you guys back to trolling.

4th quarter was just brutal. We might have expended too much energy catching up in the third.

Beasley was off. Sexton still not a playmaker. NAW is not on NBA level. Conley missed
