Jazz @ Grizzlies 6:00pm (MST) on ESPN

I'm not surprised the Grizzlies won. The Jazz have won too many close games of late, so it's bound to happen. The Jazz will be better.

I'm not sure where to put this, but someone that watched more of the game will have to let me know why Joe was not in the game at the end besides literally the last play.
I'm guessing Quinn wanted Royce on Ja. He was abusing everyone else.
 
This angle is still not definitive imo - unless you looks way different when played in HD.

I think the dude had a lot of ball and probably some arm too. Tough position to be a ref there.
It's a pretty clear call, but I don't know what angle the ref(s) had. If they can't see clearly, probably best to swallow the whistle.

However, if they had an angle, woof.
 
Man, I just keep going back to Jeff Green, he was clearly the worst player out there today, yet he had the highest minutes of all the bench players, with 21.

Could we not have had Dante come in for 3 or 4 minutes to see whether he can make even the slightest of differences?
 
The **** you talking about?
Right arm grabbed easy foul

The grab seemed to me to be mostly contact on ball and hand. Either way there will be plenty of games where it could go either way like this and we will get some that go our way and some that don't.

The problem is that it shouldn't have come down to relying on a call at the end of the game for the win. We need to reduce the scoreless stretches and lapses on defense.
 
This isn’t really relevant but I want Joe back in the starting lineup. Him off the bench is pointless. Him playing with Mudiay is pointless. He’s already getting the toughest defensive assignment. Just put him back in the lineup. We play our best lineup only a couple minutes per game.

It's worth a shot but I'm not sure that's the issue. There is likely an adjustment to that lineup as well since he will be the clear 5th option and he hasn't played that role in quite some time.

Honestly for as well as Mudiay is playing, his overall shot-quality is garbage and has tunnel vision. The backup PG duties should be split between Joe and Mitchell. Neither Exum nor Mudiay are a threat off the ball which kind of forces it into their hands.

Couldn’t have made the bench effort worse that’s for sure.

This! And I would add that him playing with Bradley is pointless.
 
It's pretty obvious to me whose minutes Exum should take--Jeff Green. He's a flakey defender, mostly a non-rebounder and an inefficient scorer. Playing Exum at the 3 and moving Ingles to the 4 to give Exum minutes won't hurt the team.
If Exum plays well which he does about 30% of the 50% of the games he actually plays in. Otherwise, even bum-*** Uncle Jeff at least has to be guarded off the ball.
