I must have motivated Rui - some good plays at both ends by him.

Enough with this, I would love if we got the W

Yeah, but every win is another step towards, at the minimum, a gloating tweeting from Leonsis.

I am glad Russ is playing well, and Gafford looks good, though.

Gafford, Beal and Bertans are supposed to be on minutes restrictions.

Yes, they said both Gafford and Beal are on minutes restriction, but Brooks seemed to forget that about Beal.

I thought I heard this earlier, but I second-guessed myself and figured it was about Beal

Nice help defense by Rui on the Mitchell drive. Using verticality.

Bench is 21-31, including 6-13 on 3-pointers!

Wish Gafford had a bit more motor on the boards, but he seems legit.

I wouldn't get on a guy's motor whose coming off a high ankle sprain with limited stamina on a minutes restriction.

I long for the day when Hachimura figures out how to finish in traffic.

Beal has looked sensational tonight. Back to first half Beal, which means he must be close to being healthy. The Jazz' defense also has been horrendous. Tough to get up for a bad team I guess when you are supposed to be the best.

Joe Ingles looks like the Utah Jazz accountant....

Beal learning to crash the boards after Westbrook shoots.

Not over yet folks.

The Wizards might still tank this thing away. Don't give up hope!

Flagrant

That has to be a flagrant. No attempt at the ball.

Post #38 » by **nate33** » Tue Apr 13, 2021 3:22 am

Beal got shoved on that last layup. That's why he missed.

These refs are missing a lot.

Yikes! That's some terrible FT shooting form!

Ballgame. I love how nowadays teams are down 6 or 7 points with under 2 minutes left, have to jack up tough threes, even if they can get an easy two.
