Game Thread - 12/1/14 Denver at Utah, 7 pm (Root) *THE RETURN OF ALEC*

Sucks we lost but we're young and will improve and begin winning these close games (the question is when). Nice to see Kanter playing decent also.
 
The only bad call was the no-call foul on Burke.

I thought the Hayward charge on Fahried was iffy at first, but the replay proved me wrong. It was a good call by the refs.

Same with the no call on Lawson's block on Hayward. He did indeed get all ball.
Refs are going to miss a few calls here and there. The refs did a good job keeping the game under control without taking it over, and were pretty fair overall. Can't ask for more.

I don't think Hayward really had much to complain about on that play. If anything the Jazz were fortunate that Lawson couldn't keep his hand on the ball another split second to force a jump ball.
 
If they can look at replays in the last 2 minutes they should look at fouls also. Jazz should have at least got the ball back after the foul by Lawson was seen clear as day on the replay.

Jazz got hosed.

The Jazz did get hosed on that, but they still had opportunities. It's embarrassing that the NBA still has such a big flaw in its replay system. Tonight wasn't the first time that's happened and it won't be the last. But hey, at least the NBA has the fancy replay center for the broadcasters to talk about during every review.
 
Hayward with 25 points.
Burks with 22 points.
Kanter with 17 points.
Burke with 18 points.
Gobert with 9 points.

Five guys with a solid game, but it only adds up to 91 points.

That's why I'm saying the Jazz are in quiet tank mode. It's the same as last year. There isn't enough offense on our bench to win games.

Just need someone to make plays in crunch time. Stops, and shots. Our core is improving, but we still havent figured out how to win night after night. Hopefully it comes.
 
Really? I thought this group did a pretty good job overall. NBA officiating has also gotten a lot better over the last two or three seasons IMO.

I honestly noticed a marked improvement after the Donaghy scandal came to light.
 
So when are we going to hit the low-point this season? Because this is pretty low. The Nuggets suck pretty bad.

Honestly? It will probably be when we go on another long losing streak after winning a few in a row - moving us out of prime lottery position while still letting us know we're not that close to being a good team.
 
Damnit! The Jazz almost had them!

Still some good moments from the team. I was really impressed when Gobert put the ball on the floor and got to the basket in the post.

Hayward: 25 pts and 5 rebs.

Burke: Shot over 50% again, FG% and 3%. Gasp!!! 18 & 8.

Burks: 22, 8, 3

Kanter: 17, 15 , 2 & 2

Gobert: 9 & 7

Bring on the Raptors!!!! GO JAZZ!!!
 
Playing the Jazz without Favors is like racing a paraplegic that doesn't have a wheelchair.
I said before the season he's our best player

I kinda felt bad for the refs watching that replay over and over, and hoped they were looking for a loop hole to give the ball back to the Jazz.

They have a winning record?

The refs were in a total bind. There was no way they could make the correct ruling, which defeats the purpose of them being able to have reviews in the first place.

The problem was that Trey got fouled on the play it was obvious on the replay but the rules don't permit calling fouls from replay. Another issue and is ticky tack but on the block on Hayward the dude got caught in the net. Should have been goal tending that is automatic.

yeah the problem was that the foul cause the ball to go out of bounds off Trey and that it was so obvious.

I agree re: the bench. Booker has not been as good as he was when the season started, Exum doesn't score very much and Hood has been hurt. I also thought Novak would be a scorer off the bench for Utah, but Ingles gets those backuop minutes and is just a body on the floor.

But I do think the Jazz are getting plenty of opportunities. If you really look at the box scores, the bench guys aren't taking that many shots. Those are going to the starters (Hayward, Burks, etc) who are in the game with the subs.
 
Anyoe notice Kanter was the only one sticking up for Burks. Harpring is right ,we need more of that. Don't be so dam nice.
