I didn't think the refs were that bad. I didn't see all the game, but what I saw, I lay the blame squarely on the shoulders of Corbin.

Typical Jazz road game. And that " terrible player" Patterson sure did some damage to the Jazz tonight..

Patterson always seems to perform against the Jazz, and who said he was terrible?

There was some really bad no calls towards the end of the game there, seemed like a row starting with a no call on a kick that turned into two points for the Rockets and then two blocks on Millsap that looked like clear fouls, all in all though I thought the officiating was pretty good in this one.

Ok, so I didn't watch every minute of the game...but here is what I saw.
Jazz get down by 10, second unit comes in and brings it back and ties the score. Corbin decides "wow, we are in this...I better get the starters back in", Houston goes up 10, jazz second unit comes in, ties the game...Corbin decides game is up for grabs, pulls second unit and starters lose game for us.
Rinse, lather, repeat.

You know, even though the Jazz lost, I really enjoyed that game, and I feel like the Jazz are slowly but surely improving.

I thought the Jazz played hard and did some really nice things. Everybody contributed, the young guys got some nice run, I thought Corbin coached a decent game... I don't know, I just really enjoyed watching that one and don't really feel the need to blame anybody for anything.

Na, the second unit was not pulling the Jazz back into the game, it was like -15 for the game. I watched the whole thing, the second unit was interesting but not very effective. Burks was very effective playing with the other starters, and Hayward was carrying the load offensively, but overall the second unit was not great.

The Jazz really miss Favors.

You sure could be right...as I was in and out. But that's just what it seemed like to me.
I agree that they miss favors. How long is he out? I missed the last game and as a result whatever his injury is.

Yah, the only starter without a positive +/ - was Foye. And as well as he played, Gordon actually had the second worst +/- on the team (-14).

Nice to see Burks out there making good use of meaningful minutes.

That no call with the kicked ball and mo fouled to stop there fast break was key when jazz making push in 4th. refs made a few make up calls when it not really mattered much. just takes couple key calls the right time in game. wish teams had a challenge in each half like football where teams could help Refs not look like crap?

Burks came out very unready but put in some good minutes once he got over the nerves. Favors play was missed very much in this game.
