Jazz @ Miami Hotline - 1:30 PM - Sunday Sin Edition

[LifeOnaPlate]

This one's on Snyder, imo. Should've called a timeout instead of letting Hood jack up the 3. Could've called a timeout before Mitchell ended up running into the backcourt for that pass, too. Poor play calling down the stretch.

These games ruin my mood. An afternoon loss is even worse because I have to think about it the rest of the day. We suck, but I doubt we suck enough to get a decent draft position.

That overturned ruling was some rigged foolishness lol it wasn't off DM and the monitor reiterated that, white ball? no heat ball = rigged ball bs!

This is why Donovan Mitchell is the star we have always deserved:

I thought the same thing when I saw the replay of the final play...

It's Mitchell's fault to an extent. Hood was WIDE OPEN when Johnson started shifting/cheating towards Mitchell. Like... noone 10 feet around him, when Johnson started leaning he should have passed it to Hood for the wide open shot. Rookie mistake, he will learn...

Here:

At this moment Mitchell should pass it to Hood with 2.1 seconds on the clock. He has time to make the pass and for Hood to take the shot.

I love MItchell. It's great that he knows where he could have done better and acknowledges it immediately after the game. This is why he's improved with the insane tempo he has. Realizes mistakes, works on fixing them and not repeating them in the future.

I hope to God that DM never leaves us, he is our franchise player, yes even over RG.

These games are ruining my mood time and time again.

Heat!

Awesome, awesome job, boys. Play competitive ball but lose close games.

32.8 win pace.

Let’s go!

We suck, but I doubt we suck enough to get a decent draft position.

The only way to have gotten a top-5 pick (outside of the drawing) would be to suffer all our injuries AND to have drafted a dud in Mitchell. The Jazz have too many decent players. If we were healthy, Utah would likely be in the 6-8 range right now and the talk would be about adding a vet at the deadline for a playoff push.

If by decent you mean projected star potential, then no, Utah isn't going to get one of those players. But when Utah drafted top-5 a few years ago, they didn't get one either with Exum. But last summer, #13 - which by your definition probably wasn't a decent draft position - resulted in arguably the best player in the draft landing in Utah.

There are some very good players all the way through the lottery. And, IMO, Utah just needs a couple of starters to turn this thing around: one at PF and another wing. DM can play PG. Rubio needs to go to the bench and either Exum becomes DM's backcourt mate, or DL acquires that payer by trade or in free agency. Or maybe the draft, with the PF position resolved via trade or free agency.

The next seven are pretty easy. Really hoping we can swing a 2-5 (or worse of course) during that stretch but I doubt it.

 

[Archie Moses]

Sorry, edited the post after you responded. Added this:

More specifically, at 2:22 Boler points out that it looks like the ball is on Richardson's wrist as it goes out, which he then raises. The wrist shown on the ball is actually Mitchell's left - this is easy to corroborate combined with the other angles.

At 2:22 you can not conclusively see who it goes off at all. I'm going to screenshot this and upload it later.

Jazz arent even in this game without Hood's 4th quarter.

They would have won the game without Hood playing in the 4th. His defense in the 4th was abysmal as was his shot selection. The fact that he miraculously made a few doesn't change that. The Jazz were -7 with him on the court in the game.

People are complaining about Rubio and the fact he didn't make a shot, but his +/- in this game? 0.

Impressive earning that 24th loss while staying in the game to the very end.

Jazz move into a percentage point tie with Charlotte for the 10th spot, and a tie for 9th by only counting losses.

Yeah, it was basically a perfect outcome.

Jazz played well on the road.

Mitchell had a solid game, but an amazing 3rd quarter.

Hood struggled early, but had a great 4th quarter.

Both players got to miss a clutch shot.

I think it was a positive game for the "Joe Johnson having any kind of trade value" project.

this is definitely a thing, there is no way Joe Jesus is playing ahead of Jonas on merit at the moment.

I get giving Hood **** for some things he does, but being aggressive looking for his shot in a close game where he had a hot quarter is a good thing.

He took a lazy 3 on a guy he has 6” on with 10 seconds left on the shot clock. That’s stupid, no matter who the player is.

No way....

A fully fit Rudy is still the man.

DM is playing extremely well for a rookie, but the situation allows DM to do what he likes. Need to see him progress into more then just a scorer.

His efficiency has been poor of late and not really getting others involved.

I know most are expecting great things from DM, but I’m still a little reserved, just because he is the only scoring option at the moment on a pretty bad team.

He is getting others involved probably more so than anyone on the team besides Ingles.

He probably could have gotten a better one, but I honestly thought it was going in. I like Hood taking those shots.
