"You Gotta Love It Baby" Official Jazz thread

[creekster]

I assume you meant "supports the position" and not simply "confirms." I'm also curious if the differences noted are statistically significant given that the numbers come from only 4% of the entire minutes played (I acknowledge the author's Trump-like "And league sources who have seen the data that includes all 48 minutes of every game, not just the close ones, indicate that the Jazz face a major disadvantage overall.") and if the data in the fourteen months following the article would change the overall conclusions.

But I'll accept the "Everyone hates the Jazz" argument and hope it continues for another couple of weeks. That said, it would be interesting to know (but not so interesting as to be worth my researching) if other data (e.g., fouls per defensive possession, total fouls per game, etc.) confirm (!) that the Jazz are the most maligned. And I'd like to know if the data support Jazz fans' (and others') suspicions that the disparities are the result of league bias in favor of major markets vs. the backwater teams. I'm just thankful that the Warriors have apparently returned to the former category after a long sojourn in the latter.

You missed that the league's other premier backwater team, OKC, benefits the MOST. So it isn't a bias against small markets. It's a bias against the jazz. Or Mormons. Or both.

Don't worry, Jazz nation. I got the number on that bus.

Remember when he used to do "first time, female, fantasy Friday" back on 570 AM? Sometimes I when people ask me what's going on or how my day is going, I say I'm just trying to make it to another first time, female, fantasy Friday. Nobody ever gets it.

i only caught him occasionally on 1280 angrily talking down to people about things he didn't actually know that much about. now his play by play is probably being recorded to play on loop when i go to hell.

For all you jokers mocking Jazz fans for complaining about the ref, hard data from the NBA itself confirms that the Jazz get the worst officiating in the league.

As my old friend used to day, you aren't really paranoid if everyone does in fact hate you.

TAKE THAT FOR DATA!

Not looking very good so far. Maybe I should stop watching, they seemed to be playing better when I wasn't paying any attention. Plus Hawk won't stop running his mouth about the Warriors during the games.

They're playing the Saturday Warriors? :yikes:

They don't stand a chance.

I've loved that kid since the day I met him.

Warriors were lucky to get past the Blazers. With a couple of calls here and there - the Blazers could have handled them easily. Ref's totally called the series in the Warriors favor and the Blazers never had a chance.

This was written so you Utah fans could see how stupid you will look in the upcoming series with the Warriors.

I'm not a Prophet - I'm just a man.

[New Mexican Disaster]

The Warriors are ok.

Fun season. I hope the offseason is also fun.
