Here are my observations:

#1 Portland was really prepared and focused. They came to play and played well.

#2 The refs gave every call to Portland in the first half. It was comical.

#3 Mitchell got some good schooling which should help in playoff prep.

#4 It is complete and total bullcrap that we had to play such an important game, game #82, on the 2nd night of a back to back. Whoever schedules NBA games is a freaking moron. That should never happen. If our playoffs lives depended on last night, how incredibly unfair that scenario would have been.

To any dumbass on here saying anything negative about Quinn’s coaching, go to hell. Shutup. And get a life and a brain. The dude is one of the best coaches in this league you armchair internet trolls can just disappear.

Need a tampon bro? Good gawd can you separate him being outcoached one game from his whole season. Or do you think he is so amazing that he never makes mistakes?

If we want to talk about acknowledging mistakes, I can think someone with a whole host of bad takes that could use some self-reflection.

Easy now,
step away from the keyboard,
take a deep breath
Find your zen


THEN flame away!

Safety people, safety
Would hate to lose anyone before we dominate the POs

Would they have scheduled GS or Cleveland on a B2B for the last game of the season? Seems easy enough to make sure no team has that.

To me, it's pretty freaking easy. Half of the league should play on the 2nd to last day of the season and the other half plays on the last day of the season. There is no valid reason that any team should have to play both the 2nd to last and last day of the regular season. And likewise, no team should have to play the 3rd to last AND 2nd to last day. It's just common sense - don't screw a team NBA.

And a 3rd in 4 nights with flights involved.

The other thing I think we need to do when we play teams that drop the big is to play our stretch 4s more than Favs. We need the extra space.

Not only a back to back, but third game in four nights, with travel required for each game.

We had more turnovers than them and shot worse than them and only lost by single digits on the road. Not terrible.

I'm curious, was Mitchell taking dumb shots? I saw his shooting numbers. Also, screw Crowder. The guy is gonna shoot us out of a playoff game or two.

They mugged Mitchell the whole game. Apparently just enough to not get called for fouls. Mitchell says he finally figured it out but not until the fourth quarter. This will prove to be good preparation for how Thunder will try to work him.

I love that he doesn't complain during the game, but it makes it tough for me to figure out when he is getting fouled and when he isn't.

The refs were **** last night... flat out. May have not been the difference, but things like that can swing a game. When he got mugged and Wade freaking Baldwin gets the soft And1 its a big swing.

It was a much more comprehensive loss than the final score indicates. They killed us .. physical on every play and clogged the paint. No room to move and we were getting pushed and shoved and hacked Good prep for the playoffs, far more valuable than a cushy win would have been.

This. We have guys with playoff experience, but our leading scorer and starting point guard has zero. This was a great opportunity to learn, and I don't think saying that is mere weak silver-lining wishing.

Outcoached? Seriously? That hot take is about as bad as any I’ve heard. Keep your keyboard coaching to yourself and Quin will continue being one of the best coaches in the NBA every night. Quin did not get outcoached, the team had a horrible night while Lillard was hitting ridiculous shots. Sometimes you just lose games. The Jazz players looked tired, out of sorts, and couldn’t hit anything last night. Boo hoo, that doesn’t mean Quin was outcoached, that just means **** happens sometimes. It pisses me off because saying Quin was outcoached is seriously one of the worst arguments anyone could use on basically every game. Quin is not a coach that gets outcoached, his team can sure as **** get out-shot and outplayed on a night nothing’s falling though.

Donovan was getting mugged and Lillard was getting touch fouls. This isn’t going to change against OKC, it may get worse. I am very interested to see how he reacts. I don’t think fans should be suprised if the first game or two are very tough on Donovan, he’s not going to get calls and he’s gonna get pushed, grabbed, held, and pressured like never before. He’ll adjust, but it may be a rough for a minute.

Well, its tough when Exum gets called for a foul for stonewalling and playing perfect D on Lillard. Honestly, that was one of the worst calls ever imo. Completely cut off Lillard, took away his lane, Had both arms straight in the air, and didn't lean in whatsoever, but Lillard, so foul... Neto really didn't play all that much, and nobody else could do anything on offense, so might as well give it a try. As far as Rudy... Lillard was on fire, made great passes, and Nurcic made some tough contested layups. Jazz offense struggles when outside shots aren't falling, and has all season. They have gotten away with it a lot because their defense is so good, but last night the Blazers played well, and made some tough shots, also any time the Jazz would try to get anything going, the refs would swallow their whistle on a Jazz drive, leading to a transition basket for the Blazers, or call a weak, or flat out bad call against the Jazz.

I hope there's a discussion about playoff officiating. If that whistle doesn't blow forget everything and get back. Seemed like the whole team would freeze just long enough for a transition bucket the other way, and it happened multiple times.

Yup... one thing I have noticed with DM is he kind of struggles his first game in new situations and then corrects it for next game. Hopefully he can chill a bit the first half if other guys are scoring... kind of feel the game out.

I thought the refs last night were exceptionally inconsistent on what they allowed them to do... I don't expect it to be that bad, but who knows. The LAC got so many calls last year... it nearly killed me.
