Game Thread: Jazz at Raptors, any minute now

We lost this game because the referees. The 3rd quarter was an absolute joke. Hell, there were phantom calls over the 4th too.

The NBA is a joke

This is the first time I have ever complained about refs.

But there were so many late late late calls from refs wanting the ball to drop in for the Raptors - and when they saw it wasn't - blew the whistle. Horrendous!!

And apparently Monroe never fouls.

Rubio outplayed Exum and he went against starters. I dont know what game yall are watching.

Eh?
I haven't read all this thread but is this a bit reactionary?
Both were really quite effective I thought. It was super frustrating seeing Exum miss a lot at the rim cause he created better looks for himself than anyone on the team I thought.

All of the guards were bad tonight. Rubio played much better in the 2nd half but his 1st half wasn't good at all, Exum was kinda the reverse with a decent 1st half and bad 2nd half, and Mitchell is struggling in general.

Jazz were 9/32 from deep

Kawhi had a career night and Siakam played really well.

Refs were garbage 3rd quarter

Too vague assessment. Rubio and Exum both cut up the Raptors.... missed a bunch of shots. Mitchell remains the focus of the opponents and he missed a couple of great looks early which hurt his mojo... The opposing guards did nothing to hurt the Jazz tonight.
 
Everybody needs to step up right now. Mitchell and Rubio need to do better and stop forcing shots that are not there. Ingles needs to do exactly the opposite, he needs to take his head out of his *** and start shooting the damn ball instead of being so freaking passive. Rudy needs to work on a single offensive move for the first time in his career and at the very least try to go hard against his defender and force some fouls even though he's a bad FT shooter. Bench guys like O'Neale, Thabo and Korver really need to bring more to the table. And most of all, Quin has to think twice about his offense and look for a different approach, try to run different sets, stop with the endless handoffs that make the game so sluggish for an already limited offense and rely more on his PG who's always excelled at running the team and finding the open guy for easy shots. It also wouldn't hurt to try to dump the ball into the post from time to time to help open the floor and get the shooters some extra tenths of a second: use Gobert AND Favors in different ways instead of limiting them and the offense so much, there's no reason for the Jazz to be dead last in the league with a ridiculous 2.6 post ups per game (the Spurs lead with 19.4) and 1 single point per game (!) on those plays, when they have two bigs on the floor so many minutes and the rest is not working.

I think you’d really do yourself a service by changing your profile from sugarless to “Clueless”

It's vague because it's an immediate post game reaction lol

You mentioned Rubio too. Who constantly gets beat off the dribble, can't buy a basket, and the second he enters the fourth quarter instantly turns the ball over.

He was good on defense tonight and only had two TO the whole game. Rubio played well late in the game. On the other hand, Exum had a couple of bad plays before Quin decided to sub Rubio in

Consistantly getting beat off the dribble expecting Rudy to cover for his lack of effort is not good defence. I love Ricky but the comments on this board about his defense is way overboard at times. Dude cheats on screens and leans on 'team defense' he seems to be easy pickings to cross up by anyone. The Rudy factor covers so much of our individual players individual D it ain't funny.

He gets beat off the dribble but I didn't see that happening constantly this particular game.
 
Our point guards have given up the 11th most FanDuel points out of 30 teams.

Our shooting guards have given up the 30th most points. In other words, Donovan and Co. have been great on d there as they’re #1 defensively.

SF-25th. Very good. Last night couldn’t have helped matters here doe.

PF-28th. Excellent.

C-11th. Ouch.
 
There were two occasions last night where Rudy tried to back a player down. One time it worked on a mismatch and I believe the other time he got to the line. I sincerely hope he can work this into his repertoire in the future. It shows that he is continuing to work on all facets of his game.

So you're going to go with Quinn and put Rubio (who can't shoot), Donovan (who can't shoot), Ingles (who couldn't shoot the whole night), Jae (who played great), and Gobert (who can't shoot) to end the game also? Leonard already had a career night against Joe so why not put Korver in who shoots better than Joe?

Rubio was pretty garbage defensively in the first half, particularly the 1st quarter where he just looked slow. He looked vastly better on that end in the 2nd half so I think he wasn't playing hard in his first game back from that knee injury in the 1st half.

It has looked better recently... I’m still really cautious though because before that it almost always ended terribly
