Game 6: Close it out -- Thunder @ Jazz 4/27/2018 8:30 pm MST

The crowd seems nervous too. Blowing a 25 point lead is never a good thing.[/B[

REALLY?

I was actually pouring myself glass after glass of wine in the 4th quarter, something I have never done before.

Celebrating early. I like it

 

[Spinoza]

Don’t doubt em.
This team is crazy.

I've been a Jazz fan since 1991. I have very good reasons for being a cynic.

Lol. It really did help though. Alcohol to the rescue!

 

[str8line]

Immediately on nbatv they use the no call as an excuse and overshadow the Jazz.

What are they gonna do when we win the championship?

 

[fishonjazz]

I don’t blame Russell for what he did after the game. Fans shouldn’t stick their phones in the faces of super emotionally charged athletes seconds after an incredible game.

Agreed. Westbrook still a bitch doe

We'll find out this year!

I dont think it should have been a foul either, but staying consistent with how the NBA calls things its 100% a foul.

I think its stupid that you draw fouls like that, hut it was pretty standard. If that was Harden they would have called it

Yep. I think that the refs should have called it a foul. Only cause they always do. I don’t think that’s the way it should be though.

Plus at the end of games refs are known to swallow their whistles and make you earn it so in that sense, maybe no call was the right call.

REALLY?

Did you watch the ****ing game? Or do you need a new eye prescription?

 

[Hotdog]

You want another Malice in the Palace? I mean, it's exciting and all, but not sure that's where a professional league should be heading. Westbrook needs to walk his *** off the court and forget about the opposing team's fans. He's almost 30 for christ's sakes.

I wouldn't mind another malice at the palace if it warranted it. In that case the fan threw a beer on Ron Artest. You should get beat up for that. I had no problem with it.

These are real people. Not zoo animals. They deserve to be treated with respect.

 

[str8line]

We have really good fans, but we also have the type of fans that give us a really bad name. Every fan base has em but our lack of diversity on top of it makes us really easy targets.

Great post.

 

[Stars Fan]

Whoooowww, glad we win this one. Bring on the rockettes!

**** him.
I’m not surprised. It’s Westbrook. Is the dude ever happy? He is mad even when winning and things are going his way. What a miserable prick.

 

[str8line]

I dont blame the fan for being a fan and I dont blame Russ for getting upset. It would suck if players and fans couldn't interact.

But the fan was being a douche, not a fan.

Watching NBATV. Entire postgame has been about the Thunder and what happens next.

The fans didn't do anything wrong. Westbrook acted like a bitch twice in this game. It shows the fans actually got to him.

Nope you nailed it. Blowing a 25 point lead is NOT a good thing. Brilliant insight there.

 

[fishonjazz]

Not according to the rule somebody posted. By the letter of the rule it wasn't a foul.

Rule schmule.
I have watched a lot of nba basketball and I would say they call that a foul like 80% of the time. Rule book be damned. Especially when the shooter is a star player.

We lucked out there imo.

Then again, Westbrook shouldn’t have even been in game 5 in the first place.

If he had jumped into Gobert while he was still in the air then maybe it could be called. He didn't, Gobert legally landed then George jumped into him. should have been a no call or offensive foul.
