Jazz @ Blazers - GAME THREAD

[PHXBlazer1]

Did we lose 2 games in a row at home all of last season?

Utah is 27-18? Damn that sounds familiar.

what a strange game looking at the box score, we killed them on the o-glass, they had 10 more turnovers....

they shot over 60%, we shot 35%, loss every time.

I see a lot of folks saying don't hate the officials for this one. They are a piece of it. The facts are in the first half the officials jacked us. It didn't decide the game, but it did pile it on. This game could have been much closer if they had called it correctly. Also many of you seem to forget that often players who get to the line and see a few free throws get in the hoop will get their rhythym going. So yes this loss is on the Blazers. But it doesn't make what the officials did right.

Why in the hell did Blake play at all in the 4th quarter? Bring in Bayless! We went the first 3 minutes of the 4th without scoring because we had an all-passive team in there..just a horrible lineup to start the 4th.
Can we just waive Blake? We are healthy at the guards an Miller,Bayless > Steve, so he needs to be the 3rd string point guard, but you know that'll never be the case as long as he is coached by Nate.

I agree. The refs didn't 'decide' the game in that they didn't 'jack' us in the fourth quarter. But they sure contributed their part to the depth of the hole the Blazers dug in the first quarter. That was about as bad and one-sided reffing as I've seen in a long time, and the Jazz didn't really need the help at that point.

I was just reading the box score and I have to call bullshit on this. They have Steve Blake at a +/- of 0. No fucking way. That stretch in the first half where he missed shot after shot and Utah scored says that is bullshit alone. He didn't play enough in the second half to make up for that stretch.

Wow, that sure seems fucking wrong. I thought the Jazz outscored Portland by around 10 points when Blake was "playing" in the first half. Since he only got about three minutes in the second half I have no idea how he made those points up.



The two man game between Blake and LA is made of fail.
