Dont think the Jazz are winning this one. Miami getting open looks every time.

Dissapointed in the Jazz defense, but credit to Miami for coming to play. Ah well. Cant win them all.

Quin has coached a terrible game tonight. Allowed Bogey to get abused on defense and brought out the zone a number of times after we had finally got a few stops only to give them a wide open look with the players confused whilst adjusting to the zone.

This game is why we need a big wing.

Eye test only, and correct me if I'm wrong, but Mitchell is kind of unclutch. Always seems to miss big free throws and finds away to turn the ball over unnecessarily.

Not a great game by the Jazz, but they still kept it close at least. Jazz need to find a way to play through physicality. Every time a team is physical with them, it completely messes them up. The playoffs are going to be a rude awakening if they can't figure out how to play through it.

Just a hard game to get up for. Jazz beat these guys and believe it's a given. Lakers was easier game to get up for being the champs and the team to still beat. Part of me wasn't surprise jazz came up flat and short. It was showing up in the shots and lack of focus from each player. Wasn't one or two it was everyone tonight that didn't have there A game and focus. All seem to be waiting for someone else to carry the load. Still winnable with minute to go. Just wasn't there night. Live and learn you have to stay focus every game. Can't give games away and lose that top seed or the playoffs will become much more difficult.

Well he's usually one of the best 4th quarter scorers in the league so I wouldn't necessarily say unclutch... His decision making and court vision can definitely improve though. He forced up too many difficult floaters and missed open players several times in the final minutes. Can't get away from our ball movement in big moments. I'm sure they'll analyse that in the next film session.

I wouldn't worry too much about this loss honestly. Heat are a much better team than their record indicates, Butler and Dragic are two excellent players who can take over games.

The Miami announcers repeatedly said last night was the best game Miami has played this season. Butler, Dragic, Abedayo and Robinson looked like the guys that won the EC.

The Jazz have still been winning games when the three ball isn't falling by playing D and outrebounding opponents. Last night the Jazz didn't shoot the three well and Miami convincingly won the boards, 50-36, the second largest negative rebound differential this season. Ugh.

I'll take some solace from the fact the Jazz fought back to just two points down with under a minute left, and hope this game is a learning experience to build on to get ready for the playoffs. Go Jazz!

One play still kind of bugs me --- where Mitchell spectacularly pulled down his own rebound on a missed shot with 50 seconds left, but then attempted a difficult, off balance, cross body pass to Bogey that resulted in a tov. Mitchell could have easily got the ball to Conley right in front of him. I don't have the replay, but I think Conley might have had a good look at a straight away, top of the key three using Mitchell as a screen. Regardless, the Jazz shouldn't be shy about putting the ball in battle-tested, Conley's hands in clutch time. Go Jazz!

Not when there record is 50 percent and really struggling to get wins. Not been the same team this season. You agree?
