My new theory is Utah plays so physical because Sloan knows the refs can only call so many fouls (especially at home), and thus they will be able to get away with more.

A team with no D, such a heavy requirement to hit 3's, and no rebounding cannot win a championship. But they sure make it fun to watch. Too bad we won't get to see them play Phoenix. That would be nutty !

also, wtf is with Golden State whining on every call/no call? If there's one thing i really like about the Jazz, it's that they haven't picked up this trend of politicing the refs at every opportunity.

Must be nice not to have to.

memo to GS fans: your team is actually good again, you don't have to constantly come up with excuses for why they lose anymore.

[/ QUOTE ]

Look at the foul call disparity in the box score. The Jazz aren't making less contact. Whatever though, this is standard for home court. As long as everything marginal goes GS's way at home, no big deal, it's just the NBA at work.

[/ QUOTE ]

foul call "disparity": Jazz 16 fouls against, Warriors 20. Is it really a suprise the team that's taken twenty-three more 3 point shots has drawn fewer fouls?

i don't mean to hammer this [censored] in the middle of a great game, but it seems like that's all we hear from GS fans - vague insinuations that there's some kind of ref conspiracy against them.

[/ QUOTE ]

You're a quarter late on your comments. It's 22-16 now if you want to play that game. Conspiracy? Strawman. I haven't said that. It's (like I said) standard home court advantage. If you want to bring up three-pointers, notice how much more closely Utah guards the GS players, with a lot more contact. There's no room, but GS is playing much further off and barely contesting inside shots.

[/ QUOTE ]

it's now 22-20, so what? the point is it's very close, way closer than you'd expect from a team who's now shot 25 more 3's. The conspiracy comment wasn't directed at you specifically, even though this:

could be interpreted that way.

Acknowledging that home teams get the marginal calls, and Utah is getting them now is a conspiracy theory? Ok.
