Suns vs Jazz

[pauls931]

And I did notice that another time, Grant Hill was talking with Dragic and he seemed to be soaking it all in... I think Gentry has given him some freedom to make mistakes and he's flourished without such pressure. Even another point in the 1st half, he made that pass on a 3-2 break that went through both Dudley and JRich's hands and they cut to Gentry saying, "good look" and nodding his head. He hit 2 big 3's again in the 4th last night, so maybe he won't be Beno part 2.

Yup, I remember that play, I was hoping people would realize that wasn't Dragic and was two suns players not paying attention.

C'mon Suns make the playoffs and knock off the Lakers in the 1st round. I know you can do it.

Awesome game from start to finish.

If I didn't have a vested interest in it, I might have said that. As it was, that was probably the least fun game I've watched all year. I went to bed furious at the Suns, the Jazz, the refs, myself and had terrible dreams all night long.

The Utah Snowflakes did what they have been doing all season long, and thats suck on the road.

That game could have gone either way. I guess you didn't watch it, but we lost by 4. Neither team sucked.

And not to blame the refs, but it probably would've gone the other way if Millsap had a gotten a single ing whistle.

[balli]

Yeah, that's why even the suns fans in this thread were pointing out that Millsap couldn't get a whistle. Especially on that last play he had. And I'm not making that excuse, it, we shouldn't be in a position to win on foul shots.

But the Jazz didn't suck last night, as you so eloquently accused them of doing.

And don't call any shot Deron makes "lucky". He's proven himself to be clutch as time and again.

lakaluva makes a good point that Utah fouls a lot and there aren't any calls (in fact, I can name at least 4 of them off the top of my head: Millsap shoves Barnes in the chest and frees Brewer for an open jumper; Okur shoves Nash in the back on what should have been an and-1; Deron fouled Grant Hill for another and-1; and Boozer pushed Lou in the back at least 3 times).

However, the Millsap play was blatant and the worst-timed non-call for the Jazz.

But if they're letting physical play go, then not giving Millsap the call is fair.

[balli]

Nah. I agree Boozer's a worthless that can't get a board without pushing people in the back and he should get called for it more than he does. But the Millsap play wasn't physical, it was a foul.

And I didn't bring it up to and moan, I brought it up because aluva said we sucked last night. It was only to point out that the game could've gone either way.

Besides, Millsap can't buy a call any time. Refs hate him. I've watched him walk off the court with a bloody mouth or face and a no-call more than once this season.

[RonMexico]

But if they're letting physical play go, then not giving Millsap the call is fair.

No, it was simply a blatant hack across his arm and not a "gray area" physical play such as a push in the back or hip check, etc. I can agree with you that since they did let a lot of physical play go, it's not a surprise the refs swallowed their whistles, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it "fair."
