i still believe in this team....come on people...it ain't over yet... however Adelman needs to lock these guys in the gym and make them shoot freethrows for 4 hrs on monday....
Technically though I think it was Carlisle who pointed out that Okur got away with the shove on Landry. Also, Mauer was the ref closest to Korver and Battier and he didn't blow his whistle. It was the zebra across the floor who called the foul, and that was very clearly anticipation. And again, I think it was Carlisle who said that he didn't see Battier commit any foul on Korver...
You know nothing. Good teams win regardless of what the referees do. We are getting totally owned by Deron Williams down the stretch and we simply aren't big enough to get the critical loose balls. Blame the refs to your grave but that ain't it. I saw some terrible calls by the refs, no doubt. But the guys in stripes aren't the reason we are down 3-1 in this series. I don't care how much Kirilenko flops or if the referee missed this call or that call. If the Rockets were the better team that played better for most of this series, they would have won more than 1 game. The Rockets are just simply outmatched by the Jazz. Only a miracle can get us past them. Even if we win, we would then play an even better team with more mismatches. The Rockets need to look toward next season. Get Yao back and try to make some other changes. This team needs more talent. A good PG would be a nice start.
Brooks penetrates just to get blocked, i can do that. There is a reason why he played 2 mins , cus he sucked. Alston is way better period.
We could have won maybe if tmac didnt settle for a jumper 90 percent of the time. Yeah i know he scored 23 pts but he didnt do **** in the 4th quarter like always. Forget superstar, hes not even in an all star level
In my opinion, I think those scoring drought in the third quarter and early fourth quarter is what killed us. Along with missed free throws and crucial rebounds of course.
FTs are killing this team again. Gotta give Boozer or Loozer credit, no matter what u call him. He practised 100 FTs on Friday after poor FT shootings in game 3 and hit 8/8 at the line tonite.
Zactly. You had 3 guys shooting terrible and they couldn't stop DWill. What difference does it make if DWill is scoring on Brooks? I just hate the fact that we don't give the kid at least 8 shot attempts. You cannot have your top 3 shot takers, who are taking over 66% of the team's shots, shooting at a 30% clip. BJax and Rafer are essentially the same. If they are shooting 1 for something, you gotta get them out. BJax should have sat after his 5th shot. It was obvious he was gonna be cold. You can't keep riding a dead horse into the ground. Get on another horse. Anybody else can put up and 0 for 5 to make it 1 for 10 too. Both Rafer and BJax should sit if they miss 4 shots in a row. Some of Rafer's shots tonight were just terrible. You knew when he jumped up sideways it didn't have a chance of going down.
Sure, T-Mac made some mistakes but that is who he is at this point. Without him, we get totally annihilated. He did a lot of good things, too. It's tough with offensively inept to average players around him. You can already see in his face that he's given up. Honestly, I don't blame him at this point. He sees it for what it is.
Can't we save this kinda crap for the regular season or offseason. This is why our guys play better away from home sometimes, we have the worst fans. Guys leaving with 5 mins left, while the rockets are only down 5 pts. Some stupid Jazz fan is gonna be at our home game holding that sign up and it will be all your fault. I know this is discussion board so i don't mind anyone debating our players' deficiencies but that photoshop stuff is just inviting a jazz fan to steal it. If i see another fan get up in the middle of the 4th quarter and say something about guys missing shots are downing our team at home, that fan might end up in the lower bowl.... after I've thrown him form the upper bowl.
Ironic how you say I know nothing when you said we won't be in the playoffs at all..... Anyhow, what I'm trying to say is, why wasn't it a jumpball or out of bound when battier caught korver? It was obvious that the refs were bias. And how come a team like jazz can be so undefeatable at home, but horrible on road? I sense ref protection. ELITE teams can win with bad calls, like game 3. But when you have game deciding bad calls, thats a different story. The refs made a game deciding bad call, and that was the game
