There was no contact down low but the Jazz broadcast showed terrible angles up top. Walker feet actually hit together in a weird way and I honestly thought that’s what they saw. It looked like a foul in real time though.

Live it looked like he hit his elbow and I had a really good angle at it. Houses reaction was like he hit it too

I hate to tell you guys I told you so... but I remember getting a lot of crap on here for pointing out the Jazz issues after nearly blowing the Suns game 2 weeks ago... they are the same issues that popped up tonight, and they are not going away.

This team has a shot to make it to the WCF, but literally falls apart in clutch situations.

The small things that cost you nothing drive me insane. People poopoo it because “lol it so small.” Things like not taking shots at the end of quarters, not using challenges, or not subbing in rebounders in the closing seconds of a game at the free throw line. It costs little, if anything, to do any or all of these. 0.2 seconds on the clock? Okay, maybe that’s more understandable. But how many times have we dribbled out the clock with 1.5 seconds or more on it? In order to win or tie, you need… need an offensive rebound off a missed free throw. How on earth do you justify not maximizing that opportunity with what you’ve got? How? Is it because you don’t want to look that desperate, having two 7 footers on the floor? Is there some unwritten etiquette of coaching basketball that prohibits you from doing so? Too often we don’t look to maximize possessions or opportunities, and often it costs absolutely nothing to do so. It’s been a consistent theme. It was great that we subbed Whiteside in the next time when it was way too late. I mean hell… why wouldn’t you sub in BOTH Whiteside and Gay? This is just stupid. And I think guys get in that situation and think “nah, that’s something a 5th grader would do in 2k… I’m a ****ing NBA head coach and we don’t do that ****.”

Murray’s three at the end of the first or half… 3 missed offensive rebounds on free throws that turned into 5 points… not challenging the three point foul… that’s an 8-11 potential swing tonight.

I’ve been very much in the corner of blaming the players more than Quin but tonight was an absolute coaching **** show. I’m cool with moving on from Quin.

Jazz are just in a bad place right now. Overly repaint on Mitchell with Mike struggling and Bogey out. Last year Clarkson and Ingles were so reliable. This year the Jazz don't have that. Mitchell and Gobert have to be on their A game every night.

House would have been calling for a challenge if he actually thought he didn't foul him. His body language was "I ****ed up"

 

[r_u_s_t_b_u_c_k_e_t]

Let's just say each challenge is worth around 0.3 points. more often than not the call is upheld, and even if the call is overturned, there may not be much gained. if you can get a foul on a three point try overturned, that's worth at least 2 points!

Instead of getting his 0.3 points, Snyder just takes the zero game after game after game, LOL.

Sounds like Quin isn't going anywhere.

Havent read through this thread so maybe it was already discussed but why the **** didn't quin challenge the foul called on house on the spurs three point attempt? There was ZERO contact. Dude made all 3 free throws. Jazz would have won.

Quin doesn't challenge.

Got deleted that fast. Wow. What was it?

A Tony Jones tweet. Basically said that we're now 66 games into the season and the Jazz are who they are by this point. If everything is clicking and going well they're an elite team but if a team can find a way to make them uncomfortable they almost always get beat. Tony has no balls...every time he says something even remotely critical of the team or one of the players, he immediately deletes it,

I mean these Jazz players are gonna get Andy ran out of town for being slightly critical and he’s a much better writer than any of the other beat writers we have.

If these assholes were as defensive on the court as they are on Twitter we’d have locked up the number one seed.

If owned the Jazz, I would honestly give Andy a FO position.
