Denver Nuggets @ Utah Jazz 3/3 8:30PM MST

Martin tried to bait AK into touching the ball while it was still in his hands. Ak didn't bite, then Martin bobbled the ball and AK grabbed it. Martin touched it again (which is when it should have been out of bounds on the Nuggets), then AK took a dribble and Martin reached for it again and may have touch it. AK went up for an easy layup and missed it by a mile. The clock expired, AK grabbed the ball and put it in.

If AK had made the original layup we would have been dying when the refs reviewed it and declared the ball out of bounds because Martin had touched it. Instead, he misses the layup and they never review the blown finish... though they certainly should have because they still needed to make sure his second layup came after the clock expired.

That was just one of a slew of horrible calls tonight.

^^^ This
 
the defense was laughable in the first half. Can we SIGN a petition to get rid of BELL and not resign MILES. If a 1000000 jazz fans signed a petition and gave it to KOC, Miller, Corbin, and Rigby would they give a S***?
 
Too many turnovers at the last 2 minutes. The Jazz had plenty of opportunities to win this game, despite the horrible officiating.....again.
 

well, what is the call there, if a player reaches from out of bounds back in, and then touches the ball while another player is controlling it? is that just out on the nuggets? that doesn't seem fair that a play can just be stopped that way. maybe a tech. anyone know?
 
LOL at fans blaming the refs for this one.

Yes.... It's the refs' fault that the other team has shooters and we don't...
It's the refs' fault that the other team plays defense and we don't...

How many more times do we need to see this movie?

Jazz get nothing out of Bell.
Opposing SG goes off.
Al fights tough inside despite not being all that athletic.
CJ chucks.
Earl does nothing.
Elson fumbles a pass.
Fess gets blocked by the rim.
Millsap cries about a foul.
AK loses control of the ball and flaps his arms yelling "AIII!"
Hayward looks good and fans complain about him not playing enough.
The Jazz refuse to draw fouls while the other team does.
jazz play hard to bring the game close, only to fumble the game away in the final minutes with Duron, CJ, Devin, Al, AK, and Jefferson mistaking the other team for teammates.

And the Jazz lose.

And yet some people still want to blame the refs.

sigh...

Come on folks, we are who we are. A bad team. We have some nice pieces. But we're just not a good team. We haven't been for a long time. In fact, taking that remarkable 4 game road trip we had at the beginning of the year, we've sucked.

The call is the same call it would be if there was 11:58 left in the first and there is a "jump ball situation" where a player is touching the ball while he's out of bounds...the player who's out of bounds is whistled for out of bounds and possession is given to the other team. The rule doesn't change when there is 1 second left in the fourth....
 
Another call that was horrible was the foul on Harris for backing away from Lawson on That layup.

i'm not saying the rule changes, just that i don't know what it is. and it might be different in the jumpball situation.

Explains almost every game this whole season. We like 6 nice pieces maximum and the rest is garbage.
 
andrei had the ball in his hands, while km stuck his hand on it enough for andrei to lose the handle a bit. refs did Utah a favor by not calling anything cause Andrei still sould have made it.

game was called totally in denvers favor though.
terrible fouls called on harris and Jeffs at the and.
Denver had hardly any fouls on them most of the game.
plenty of contact on all the Jazz front line players could have been called.
 
Just got back, knew Afflalo's shot was going in when he released , dude is so clutch. If we make a serious run at him we knew to look into that.

Some awfully questionable calls though. Obviously two that stand out Lawson falling over trying to draw a foul and failing bad, but still somehow getting it. And also the Millsap one was straight up terrible. Paul's face said it all.
