Utah Jazz - Dallas Mavericks Series Thread.

Down 14 - 19.

 

[nuraman00]

Baller Bogdanovic is playing today.

 

[nuraman00]

Jazz finally lead, 45 - 43.

Guess who gave them the lead?

Did you guess?

Spoiler

Bogdanovic

 

[nuraman00]

I almost want to put this game in the "worst team in sports" thread.

The Jazz never hold onto leads. Yet again today, they almost lost another playoff game (and could have).

 

[nuraman00]

Good start by Utah, but then Brunson continues to burn, as Dallas takes an 8 - 5 lead.

 

[nuraman00]

27 - 20, end of the first.

All I see are Jazz giving up open 3's, and not getting loose balls.

Kleber had 9 points in 2 minutes, on 3 3-pointers.

Hmm… I thought we traded Grayson Allen away:

 

[nuraman00]

Please force more turnovers.

 

[nuraman00]

Allen averages 2.3 fouls per 36 minutes for his career. On the Jazz, he averaged 4.1.

O'Neale is averaging 2.7 fouls per 36 minutes for this season. In the playoffs, this year, it's 3.6.

Good observation that the Jazz are also fouling too much, and the bad, unhelpful kind too.

 

[nuraman00]

I've never seen a team have only 7 steals in a 2 game span, so a 3 game span is even more disappointing.

The team with only 7 steals in 3 games is the Utah Jazz.

[nuraman00]

Grayson Allen with 3 3-pointers and a steal so far in today's game, for Milwaukee.

He would be the best player on the Jazz.

It’s nothing to do with fouls. I don’t want someone like that on my team. Except Stockton and Malone. On a team that can’t stop Dallas on defense, we can get another Royce O’Neale, as his “need” here is defense, when he’s not just pushing people over and undercutting someone midair (earlier this year)... I get that others do it. Show me how everyone does it. Ingles maybe a bit?

 

[nuraman00]

Agree, those are useless moves.

 

[nuraman00]

It's irritating how the Jazz blew another lead, and didn't make FTs. Glad they got the win.

 

[nuraman00]

Gobert losing the 4th quarter jump ball to Doncic/Bullock is lame.

Also, I wanted to create a thread title, ___ with the game winning rebound, because after forcing the Dinwiddie miss, the Jazz still had to get the rebound. Because if a Dallas player got the rebound, then I'm 94% sure they would have had an easy putback for the win.

It looks like it was a Dallas team rebound at the end, which is a little disappointing. It would have been more authoritative if Utah had secured the team rebound. The end of the game almost could have read "Dallas with the game winning team rebound putback".

No one got the rebound. In fact, it either fell to the ground when the time was out or it went out of bounds, Jazz ball.

 

[nuraman00]

The play by play said it was a team rebound, so I thought it still counted. Maybe it did fall to the ground, but then why did they credit Dallas with a team rebound?

Watch the Dinwiddle video. Mavericks vs. Jazz - Game Summary - April 23, 2022 - ESPN

I don’t feel it should have said anything for a rebound.

 

[nuraman00]

Jazz with their lowest scoring half of the season. 36 - 52.

Typical Jazz playoffs clunker that comes up every now and then.
