[Saint Cy of JFC]

Gobert carried the Jazz that game.

Quin is not prepare for playoffs intensity

Really felt like the refs were trying to give the Mavs this game. Glad we showed up in the clutch this time.

They don’t get to the line… their number 1 free throw guy was out… we lead the league in free throws… and yet somehow we ended up shooting less than them… even with them intentionally fouling.

 

[KqWIN]

I feel like that game only got close because of the endless off ball fouls. The Jazz are the best in the league at not fouling, so not worried. Gobert was the best player on the court and his only shot attempt was a missed tip in.

WOOHOO! WE BUCKED THE TREND!!

 

[Moonlight Graham]

Glad to get the win, but we're going to need to play a lot better if/when Luka comes back.

 

[SoUjazzfan]

Great game from bogey.

 

[LogGrad98]

Yeah it's not the most encouraging of wins. Would sure be nice if the coaches acknowledged there's a major problem with closing games, and actively tried to address it, instead of just sweeping it under the rug.

I will say they did a better job of getting other people involved and not just playing hero ball. Give them some credit for that.

 

[Bawse Dawg]

Refs were holy **** bad.

Jazz did some nice things in the crunch minutes. Encouraging.

I want Luka to come back.

 

[LogGrad98]

Great game from bogey.

He was the hero really. Kept us in it when no one else could do ****.

 

[Rubashov]

Can somebody translate that interview for me?

 

[Elizah Huge]

We closed it out in the clutch and Royce hit a clutch three. Who would have ****ing thought?

HUGE win let’s ****ing go Jazz baby!!!

Any playoff win is a huge win especially when the refs gift them 34 free throws.

 

[homeytennis]

We held serve. Woo hoo!!!!

 

[Avery]

Was 8 on 5 that quarter, but a W is a W.

 

[Agent#00]

good win despite obvious homecooking

 

[Elizah Huge]

Gobert carried the Jazz that game.

Defensively and rebounding yes for sure! Bogey carried us offensively a lot and Mitchell carried us in the 3rd.

It’s a damn shame he only got one shot all game the Jazz need to fix that. That should be in the game plan for Game 2.

 

[Gameface]

We held serve. Woo hoo!!!!

Umm, maybe I misunderstand what that is, but the Mavs have (had) homecourt advantage.

I mean we got jobbed pretty bad. They can call so many of those during the game and opted to call them all then. The Bogey three foul was ********… especially since they reversed a call on him where the guy hits his forearm and elbow… but then straightens up.

It was WWE levels of bad/inconsistent today… glad we didn’t lose our cool.

 

[AlaskanAssassin]

We held serve. Woo hoo!!!!

Is it broke serve if we beat them at home?

 

[Elizah Huge]

How many missed layups and in-and-out shots did we have today? 10? Damn.

Pretty bad that we are barely eeking out a win when their best 2 players are out.

34 free throws and Donovan struggled the entire first half is how. I don’t care I think it’s a huge win.
