Matt Harpring: Tough Guy!

I think this clip sums up the Utah Jazz nicely. After what can only be considered the weakest flagrant 2 ever, watch closely for Matt Harpring’s response. When a teammate goes down, Matt does what any good teammate should do: runs to the referee!! What’s funny about this is you see Pau try and hold him back because he thought Harpring was going after Turiaf. But then Pau realizes that this is Matt Harpring and like all the other Jazz, he’s just complaining as usual. Think I’m overstating Utah’s whininess? (Is that a word?) I simply point to Mehmet Okur getting a technical foul on a non-shooting foul which was only the third team foul of the 4th quarter despite 8 minutes of action. Meanwhile, the Jazz had been in the bonus 5 minutes into the 4th. The Jazz have hit some big shots the last couple of games to earn their wins, but how about we stopping running to the refs and play ball?
