The NBA’s Referee Problem & Utah Jazz, Mike Conley Fall in Memphis

November 18, 2019 by Kelby Jones Leave a Comment

Mike Conley faced his former team for the first time as the Utah Jazz traveled to Tennessee to take on the Memphis Grizzlies and Ja Morant.

Unfortunately, the Jazz lost the close game after an NBA referee missed a foul that would have sent Donovan Mitchell to the free throw line in the closing seconds.

Dear Jazz, Stop Playing for the Whistle

December 18, 2018 by Kelby Jones Leave a Comment

stop playing for the whistle

It’s Time for the Utah Jazz
to Stop Playing for the Whistle

A Heartfelt Plea from a Lifelong Jazz Fan

My dearest Utah Jazz,

It is with sincere reflection that I choose to write you this note today.

You see, I spend a great deal of my time researching, pondering and discussing the inner and outer workings of your organization, so much so, in fact, that at times I feel as though I am a part of it myself.

Please know that I do not say these things out of spite, hatred or a feeling of superiority. But instead, I relay this message out of love, devotion and loyalty to a culture and an identity which I feel perfectly suits this fine community on the banks of the great lake of salt.

Culture and Identity Perceived by a Utah Jazz Fan

We all know that the Utah Jazz knows what it means to be an underdog. The facts that you’re a small market team and lack any real nightlife (you family-oriented SUCKERS) are just the beginning to a long list of reasons why you shouldn’t be successful in today’s NBA.

And now, it seems there’s another reason to add:

NBA Referees Have Fragile Egos

It’s nothing new. In fact, it’s something we’ve seen forever, but perhaps no more than during the past decade or so.

I’m not really exactly sure how these egos became so fragile. Perhaps it was years and years and years of being constantly berated by “adults” being paid millions of dollars to play a game.

I’m sure it didn’t help that these “adults” keep getting younger and younger, being paid more and more with every passing year.

Somewhere along the lines, these referees also began respecting certain players and their team more than other players and their team.

What does this weird bias lead to?

Watch some highlights of it below:

This Utah Jazz Fan’s Conclusion After a Dumpster Fire

The Utah Jazz have seen this type of “officiating” for the entirety of its existence. It goes back to the team’s days matching up against the Showtime Lakers and the GOAT.

But for some reason, it seems to have gotten worse as of late. It’s almost as if the Refs have begun to openly say:

“That team from Utah? Yeah, we’re not gonna help them out at all.”

Utah Jazz Argument

Need an example of NBA Officials blatantly missing calls that everyone in the entire world can see should go in the Jazz’ favor?

How about an example of NBA Officials blatantly calling a foul that SHOULD NEVER have been called, and ultimately, goes AGAINST the Utah Jazz:

In case you’re wondering how sad and petty the @OfficialNBARefs are… this was called a foul on @rudygobert27 pic.twitter.com/Jsvfjpkpfk

— The Jazz Fan Show (@JazzFanShow) December 11, 2018

Now I’ll admit, for the first quarter of the season, these kinds of things simple enraged me. But now, I’m used to them.

What I’m getting really sick of at this point is Utah Jazz players arguing for a call while the other team runs down the floor and scores.

Like, I get it. You should have gotten the call. But guess what?

The refs not gonna call it.

I’m sorry, there’s nothing we can do about it. Their fragile egos and inability to see the world objectively makes it impossible to call a game in your favor.

So what do we do now?

How about we just accept that the world is against us and…

JUST KEEP PLAYING BASKETBALL.

No more arguing with the refs. Save your postgame comments and your Mario war cries and…

GET BACK ON DEFENSE.

Overall, just please, for all that is good and decent in this world…

STOP PLAYING FOR THE WHISTLE.

It’s never been called our way, so why would it start now?

Game 26 Takeaways – Utah Jazz vs Houston Rockets

December 8, 2018 by Kelby Jones Leave a Comment

Game 26 Takeaways - Utah Jazz vs Houston Rockets

Game 26 Takeaways

Utah Jazz vs Houston Rockets

Utah Jazz gets second straight blowout win over teams from Texas.

The Utah Jazz played their second straight game at home in Salt Lake City Thursday night for what seemed like the first time all season.

The Jazz were also facing a familiar opponent, the Houston Rockets, who the Jazz faced (and lost to) in the second round of last season’s NBA playoffs.

This was the two teams second meeting this season, with Utah now holding a 2-0 advantage over Houston, beating the Rockets 118 – 91.

Watch the full game highlights below:


Utah Jazz vs Houston Rockets

Quick Takeaways

Rudy vs The Refs (and a Bottle of Water)

You can listen to Ryan Van Dorn and myself discuss this incredible instance on Episode 10 of The Jazz Fan Show!

Listen below:

 


Houston’s Championship Window

I know this seems maybe a bit premature, but it genuinely seems to me as though the Houston Rockets know their window for a championship with this group of guys has closed.

This, obviously, isn’t even close the level of team the Utah Jazz faced (and got destroyed by) last season in the playoffs. Aside from the obvious offseason departures, and an issue with Carmelo, Houston seems like they’re playing with their heads down and not even really sure they want to be here.

My theory?

When you play the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Finals, make it all the way to Game 07 and lose… that’s what we call a heartbreaker.

Unfortunately, not every team is able to come back the following year and compete to be at the same level.

Is Houston a good example of this? Only time will tell.


Our Road to 50 Wins…

… seems to have gotten a bit easier, not to mention the fact that this month is supposed to be absolutely brutal for the Utah Jazz and they just beat two of the “hardest” opponents.

I know it’s still not super likely, but if the Jazz have turned a corner (which I think they may have based on two blowouts over Texas teams in two tries), the special season we all expected may still be within reach.

Unfortunately, and we all knew it would be this way, we’re still going to be kicking ourselves over the dumb losses we experienced at the beginning of the season.

Here’s hoping we have the same end to this year as last.
