That foul on G was a soft call. Gobert gets to do whatever the fuck he wants as long as he blocks the shot, but G gets called for putting his arm gently on Hill's off-arm with no body contact. That's the kind of call that is some bullshit after all our guys have to put up with on the other end.

If you stand in no mans land they'll always get you with that call. Soft calls get called on soft players. He started to go in tough then let up.
I think Towns acting like a superstar before he is one is my biggest pet peeve this year. Commits a bad foul and almost gets T'd up for the reaction in a close game.
Not really surprised by anything anymore with these guys. It's a collective choke job every time. But here is where Thibs deserves some blame. With 53 seconds left he takes a timeout after a Utah basket. We get to inbound on our side with a 24-second shot clock. Why on earth is Ricky and Gorgui in the game there!? Put Bjelly and Rush in and spread it out! Let KAT and Wiggins play a two man game and if they collapse you have shooters at the other three positions.
Later, and this really baffled me, he actually does sub in Bjelly for Dieng, but leaves Rubio in. Why!? We don't need a point guard in these set end-of-game situations.
Not that it would have made a difference anyway.....these guys just collectively have zero nerve at the end of games.
