Trail Blazers @ Jazz 8:30 PM MT: THE LOSING STREAK ENDS TONIGHT

Dude, you need to brush up on the rules of basketball.
Possibly. What are the rules for a ball in play off the glass where the ball has no chance of touching any part of the rim nor will it pass over any part of the cylinder area? Where does it become legal to touch? Does it matter if it’s a member of the team on offense or defense?
 
Quin really needs to stop taking out Clarkson at the end of games. I’m glad we broke the streak! I’m encouraged by the way Conley and Ingles played together today. We played much better defense in the second half.
The only way they can rationalize not closing games with Clarkson imo is he still hasnt got much practice time, ???
 
Nice comeback. Not impressed with win. Happy Jazz won but they are far from being "fixed".

Geez we turn the ball over a lot ... 15 tonight but it felt like 30 ..

Just bonehead plays , dribbling into traffic , Mitchell took some god awful shots , I dunno why he isn’t sticking to his pull up jumper , but rather reverting to the out of control around the rim misses ..

I dunno how Gobert at times disappears from an easy rebound that somehow falls into a smaller players hands and the grabs his face like its been hit by mike Tyson ..

We have so much work to do , Still lack a PF

Would Julius Randle not be the perfect 4 for us? I caught so much flak from this board for even mentioning his name and when it was clear Randle was available from the lakers bench.
 
Bogie? Well... yeah, he can score. But... hes a team leader in softness and in stupid plays. He rarely makes a hustle play. He makes TONS of careless turnovers (apple, cherry, and unforced). He takes terrible shots at the end of games. He missed the free throw tonight and swanigan nearly tied the game. His defense is meh at the very best. He cant rebound.

But he scores a lot.

I trust him to get a bucket more than anyone else on the team. At any level.

I’ll wait patiently offline for your next novel of a reply.
 
We had a 117.0 Offensive Rating in this game. This offense was fine and Conley was great.

The defense in the second half was the difference. We stepped up and showed a little more hustle and toughness.

I am afraid that the second half had more to do with Portland running out of gas - 7 guys playing heavy minutes on a road B2B. We certainly played harder the second half and I am relieved we won but I don't see the light in the tunnel yet.
