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

I haven’t been to a game in Utah for years, but plenty in other states and the fans say the same things everywhere. Not justifying it, not saying it’s right or wrong, but it’s similar everywhere.
 
Just because a defender jumps in the air doesn't mean a player has to launch into him. PG already tried that garbage and got a call minutes earlier.

I would be pissed as an OKC fan, but I also understand that the refs let them play.

I've noticed refs rarely make that bail out call at the ends of games. Paul should have just put the shot up normally and it would have had a much better chance to go in. If someone on the Jazz did that, I'd be pissed that they tried that garbage.
 
All of the angles I've seen on ESPN make it look like it should've been a foul. I watched the Jazz feed tonight, and they showed the straight-on angle that showed that PG clearly leaned into Rudy to create the contact
 
Great win. I give the Jazz all the credit for the win. THey defeated the Mojo. After losing game five the way they did, I had doubts they could win game six. DM was a superstar and his performance is up there with all-time Jazz playoff performances. OKC whining about a non call is embarrassing. After game 4 and game 5 the OKC fans and players should just take their beating and go home.

I hope Ricky is ok because the Jazz are going to need him. AB needs to get minutes over Exum since Dante has done nothing to "earn" his minutes.

Every year opponents always complain about the Jazz crowd when they lose. Now i wasn't there so I don't know if OKC has a legitimate complaint but usually these complaints always come after they lose.

First time I saw it, I thought it was a foul, too. Then the front view tells the real story.

*Yawn* Anyway, great game! DM was a beast! Bring on the Rockets!
 
Also, this game is a good reminder to all the people who say "Why doesnt Donovan play PG all the time?". Dude was gassed in the 4th quarter and our offense looked pretty poor for the most part outside of his amazing plays.
 
Wouldn't you guys have your boo boos hurt if someone gave themselves the name "push off p" and a crowd called you "push off p?"
 
Of course ESPN and other media sources will focus on the losing team instead of the Jazz, so I am not surprised. How much time did ESPN talk about Westbrook possibly being suspended in game 5 or how much time did they spend discussing Rudy getting a T for getting hit in the nuts. Except for the Donovan love ESPN still hates the Jazz.

I think 5 fouls on Mitchell contributed a lot there too. I think Quin needs to make Mitchell stop with the Euro fouls. As currently constructed, the Jazz can overcome anyone (even Rudy) being out of the game in foul trouble - except Donovan. He’s way too valuable to be wasting his fouls to stop breaks.
