Nailed it biotchFeels like Toronto has a lot of points of TO's. I think if we take care of the ball we have a chance to win. Got to think Lowry is going to come out in the 2nd half motivated to get buckets.
Boom go da dynomiteYeah, but we are also only up 4 when Mack had 13 in a half and Lowry scored 5.
DRPM has kevin love as a great defender as well (27th best in league)....?
I, for one, would love to see a 46 minute report of this one. Forget the last two minutes.
The problem with this would be that a foul in basketball is so subjective, so when doing a report they can easily look at any soft call and say, "well technically he did touch him with his fingernail and the sun was on his eyes so the correct call was made". But on the other end, when someone gets hammered, they'll just say no, physical play, that's fine.
The sequence at the end perfectly illustrated how this game was called... Ingles and Lowry make contact with each other chasing a loose ball... foul on Ingles... Gobert gets a rebound and has two hands on the ball... guys slap the eff out of his arms... good physical basketball play on.
Part of Quine job is yelling at the refs... he needs to do better
I hear this complaint a lot around here - that Quin needs to yell at the refs more. Does that actually work? Like is there any correlation between coaches getting technicals called on them and the number of bad calls against their team subsequently?
Aside from the refs, I didn't like Quin's rotation tonight. He should've given Burks some burn at the beginning of the 4th. And too much Joe Johnson. Yes, he was hitting those shots but he stagnated the offense and the Jazz couldn't get anything once he was out of the game because they had lost their rhythm. He should've tried Dante in the 4th on Lowry. He already tried Mack and it didn't work. We have to find some better defenders at crunch time because Mack and Jingles won't cut it if we are to go any place in the playoffs -- well we do have one who is hurt, Hill. And I think we need to make Dante that other lockdown perimeter defender because he has the potential to be one.
I'm starting to get the feeling that the Jazz may be considering to trade Burks because that's what usually happens when a player in healthy and they don't play him, especially one who was a rotation player in the past. I don't what Quin is thinking, but we could've used Burks both of the last two games.

Rudy Gobert: "They're allowed to do things that we're not allowed to do, which makes it tough to play. We know we're the Utah Jazz."
Rudy might get fined. On the refs, said the Raptors were allowed to do a lot of things that the Jazz weren't.
