Playoff Game 3: Jazz vs Clippers 8pm Mountain Time ESPN 2

The officiating was bad, but lets not pretend that Chris Paul didn't make a bunch of great plays against porous D.

As soon as Ingles went out he started feasting. Then Ingles came back in and it seemed like CP3 had figured out how to beat him. That and the Jazz just failed to make counter punches to quell the runs.
 
But seriously, that was the worst reffing of any game I've seen in person.

We all saw it on TV as well. It was pretty surreal at times. I hope the NBA does the right thing and issues an apology. It doesn't get much worse than what we saw tonight.
 
I disagree that they "blew it". Maybe one or two guys you can point the finger at, but they played hard.

Jazz lost because of the refs, and because of the lack of Gobert. The Jazz had no answer for the Clippers inside without Gobert. That's just a fact of life.

Nobody gets more angry than me when the Jazz don't play hard. They played decent tonight. They fought hard. You can't do anything about Gobert's injury and the referring being heavily tilted. I'm at peace with this loss. Just badly miss Gobert.

The only answer Snyder has given for the loss of Gobert is Favors. Even if Favors sucked, the guy had to be exhausted as well, which likely only compounded his sucky play. I don't see why Withey didn't get in, at least for a few minutes in the 4th to give Favors some rest. Even if Withey sucked and DJ scored on him in a short span of time Favors could always come back in. And if Withey played halfway decent Favors could rest.
 
Guys played their asses off. Favors was truly awful. It wasn't just physical... he's like not there mentally. Just feels like he isn't paying attention at all.
 
I'd like to hear one good reason why Favors played as many minutes as he did. TIA

Dude, I'm the resident Favors 'hater' because I state obvious reality, but on the topic of obvious reality: who the **** else was going to play those minutes? Really.
 
Rudy comes back. Jazz win 3 in a row to take the series 4-2. It's frustrating that they didn't take advantage of opportunities around the trade deadline to solidify the front court. Coming back to bite them in the *** right now. Get Favors the heck out of there. He can't do anything right now.
