Who shouldn't be chucking the ball into the stands with a second left, or getting abused by Steven Adams all night.

How come they let Adams lean on Favors with one shoulder gripped on him, and not call a foul?

I don't want to go to the officiating, because I feel like most of the bad officiating happened while OKC was down, but there was some bad officiating. Look no further than the travel they called on Burks.

I can't speak for dalamon but I see this year as a 44 win season and a playoff birth and hopefully one playoff game win.

I see next season (with Exum back, our core more developed (Lyles most of all), two 1st rounders in the fold, and perhaps the acquisition of a better backup 5 as a season in which 50-53 victories, and a playoff series win, is a tangible goal.

Then, I see the 2017-2018 season as our legitimate first shot at a let's ****ing go for it all season. Come playoff time that season, Hayward will still only be 28, Favors 26, Burks 26, Gobert 25, Exum 22, Hood 25 and Lyles 22.

Again Hayward would be our oldest player at 28 years of age.

Lebron won his first title at age 27 I believe.

We're right on track.

Our schedule has been one of the toughest in the NBA thus far and after the Spurs game tomorrow will be the easiest in the NBA going forward. Even with all our injuries and having gone through hell scheduling-wise, we are still ahead of all those teams you listed.

We'll be fine.

so we are exactly what we had under Corbs, a treadmill team fighting for 8th seed and got bounced in the first playoff. Why do we want to be in this position? we need a superstar, we can't sign FA I think the logical move is to tank for a franchise-changing draft pick.

**** off

The first month has been very tough. But the Jazz played every 2-3 days in the last 2-3 weeks and didn't play many back-to-back games compared to other teams. In addition the Jazz home-court is not a factor anymore, it seems the Jazz are playing better on the road.

The jazz have been better with less days between games iirc
 
Now that the sting of the end of the game has worn off, I have to say I would have expected a double digit loss to a health OKC at home without Gobert. The ending sucked, but the truth is my expectations were exceeded tonight.

For now sure.
Do you not think the team can be better with a healthy Gobert and Exum? Or an experienced Gobert, Exum, hood, and more experienced Burks, favors, and hayward? Snyder is still learning too. I think our bench will get better personnel wise in the coming years.

Future still bright as a mother ****er

I saw steph curry throw a dumbass behind the back pass this season that didn't come near his teammate and went out of bounds for a turnover.

Saw lebron do dumb stuff before too

With the minutes that those stars have played they should never make those kinds of silly mistakes. They do though.

These types of things were being said about the thunder after close losses a few years back.

The warriors too
 
I finally got a chance to look back at the play by play.
Millsap played 23 mins. Probably half of them westbrook was out. While he was in westbrook scored 2 pts on free throws when Sap fouled him and hit another jumper. NO LAYUPS OR DUNKS. He chalked up 5 boards and 4 assists. He had 1 TO.

I've had a chance to chill out. I know the sky isn't falling, but this was a ****ty loss.
 
2 Points in OT, in the final 10 seconds. Two ****ing points. TWO ****ING POINTS!!!

ARUGH!!!!

Yeah, this makes sense, but good god that OT was depressing.
 
We have a good team, but we have no star. No closer. No leader.

Until we do this will be our result. Close, but no Clinton cigar.
 
I'll say this...

Trey was hot tonight. Trey has big game attitude and the chance to be a closer. Trey should be in the game for offensive possessions to close out some of these games.

Burks with the ball in his hands has been clutch all season. Alec dribbled the ball up the floor and Hayward demanded it. Hayward has to close better if he is going to demand the ball.

We gave up some dumb plays in the last 3 minutes. We could have easily finished this off with a rebound again. We looked exhausted. That translated to overtime when Quin continued with the same crew who were exhausted and that has a lot to do with getting 2 points in OT. Subbing patterns at the end could have relieved the boys and played to our strengths more. Plus going with a hot hand. Trey has been great and should be rewarded with those minutes.

Finally... no lucky girl = loss. The trend continues.
