The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Somethung had to be up with Edwards only 16 shots and 12 of them were 3a

Conley choked again

Oh good, we get an appearance from @YoungJefe

Minnesota destroying Dallas in the 3pt variance battle and still losing is an awful sign for them.

Not exactly. That really isn't their game. Edwards only takes 4 two's isn't a positive for Minnesota. I would feel good as both sides. Don't think anyone played particularly well game 1 other than Kyrie and McDaniels.

That'd be very silly.

I think even Gobert haters would be able to tell that the Wolves lose in a blowout without Gobert.

 

[jom2003]

Not that cimplicated. Offensively Edwards is not a better player than Mitchell. He just got lucky with the wolves roster having enough guys who can score on the inside that defense can not load up on the perimeter like they did with Mitchell in Utah.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Conley and NAW got to make some shots. Edwards got to figure out how to attack with Gobert on the court.

 

[MT Steve]

Wolves need to somehow find a way to kick their habit of getting outscored by double digits in the non-Gobert minutes. Has cost them multiple playoff games.

Nah, it was spinning back towards the rim. You can see it was very slightly over when he touched it. It was a good call.

Ya I agree. I just hate the rule. I think that if it's on the outside of the rim then it should be fair game. It was not going in. Might have grazed the rim.

I really think they should just do it like the European league tho

Think of there being a vertical line from the surface area of the hoop. The ball was in that line, doesn't have to be in hoop iirc.

Doesn’t have to be in the hoop, I guess at the very last second it’s curling back but would definitely rather not see that called.

I’m also just salty because I hyped up KAT and apparently him going on that little run broke the Wolves.

How is this in the cylinder?

I guess I don’t know the rule

It's not "in" the cylinder but if that ball doesn't get touched it probably grazes the outside edge of the rim and falls to the floor for a miss. So it can't be touched. I think it's a dumb rule.

It's like the very tip of the football just touching the end zone line kind of thing.

You are giving @YoungJefe way too much credit for comprehension.

 

[fishonjazz]

The entire ball was not outside those lines, but more than half of the ball was.

Therefore, goal tend. Correct call according to the rules. Cy is right

I was just going to post this.

Also was going to post that one of the fun things about the playoffs is seeing star players actually defend. Luka was trying hard on a lot of defensive possessions tonight and being somewhat effective.

Also, Denver looks slow and unathletic, and lacking length compared to these teams. The only reason they have a chance at contending is by having an all time great and league best player.

Are the 5 seed Mavs gonna win the title a year after being a league disgrace?


Parity seems alive and well. Why am I not in the universe where I get to watch the Mitchell, Gobert, McDaniels, and Herb Jones led Jazz in this parity party?

Because our front office sucks, unfortunately.

No way. Tanking doesn’t work.

I’m thinking they are very happy to have Lively right now, and not sweating last seasons disappointments.

Or Donny, Bane, Rudy, Herb, Conley… DL fumbled the bag.

That lineup would seem to be able to do some things. Probably still fall short tbh but might have a chance.

I still think the actual team we had had a chance. Sometimes things just don't work out though. Little injuries. Getting outcoached. Stars not getting along. Etc.
