@min: Opponent Game Thread Highlights

Today’s Opponent Game Thread host: Canis Hoopus.

Al dumps the ball off now?
I’m trying to remember a time he did that here…..trying…..
this is where I make the obligatory, “well…who was he gonna dump it to when he was here” comment?
by googoleeoottooooleeoottooooleeeatta on Dec 23, 2010 9:26 AM CST

He needs to spin around his guy and slam, is what he needs to do (like Koufos)
by BaylorWest on Dec 23, 2010 9:39 AM CST

Al has 10 more minutes….
…2 more points, 1 more block, the same number of assists and steals, and 3 more rebounds than Koufus. Oh, and nearly $12M more in pay this season.
by CaliWolf on Dec 23, 2010 10:04 AM CST

Is this the worst game Deron has had in years?
I’m going to guess yes.
by googoleeoottooooleeoottooooleeeatta on Dec 23, 2010 10:06 AM CST

the 2nd half hasn’t happened yet…so no.
by Dominate on Dec 23, 2010 10:07 AM CST

ha, nice
alright, worst first half he’s had in years? nothing’s going right for him.

holy shit
did jonny and corey just throw bad passes to each other for 14 seconds then launch an airball?
by CaliWolf on Dec 23, 2010 10:08 AM CST

That’s exactly what happened
by WolvesFan03 on Dec 23, 2010 10:08 AM CST

It’s the triangle…
by Dominate on Dec 23, 2010 10:09 AM CST

in this case…
..it’s the line
by CaliWolf on Dec 23, 2010 10:13 AM CST

I believe…
John and Corey passed the ball in the line 3 times…
by Dominate on Dec 23, 2010 10:19 AM CST

What Flynn and Brewer 2 man game?
Were they just daring each other to shoot a 3?
by dropstep on Dec 23, 2010 10:08 AM CST

Daring each other to shoot air.
by BaylorWest on Dec 23, 2010 10:09 AM CST

Nice offense…
Jonny and Corey play patty-cake for 20 seconds, then fire up an airball…
I’ve been critical of Beasley for being a dumb player, but Flynn makes Beasley look like Good Will Hunting…
by mutleyil on Dec 23, 2010 10:09 AM CST

So, is anyone else tempted to turn off the TV and pretend that the game is over?
by Bad News Wolves on Dec 23, 2010 10:12 AM CST

oh god yes
by littleboxes on Dec 23, 2010 10:13 AM CST

Yup. The notorious second half is coming, where we get scared & freeze.
by BaylorWest on Dec 23, 2010 10:13 AM CST

We are fronting Big Al…
Because we know he doesn’t like it. Wish we actually did some, you know, scouting on players that didn’t play here for 5 years so we could find their weaknesses too…
by mutleyil on Dec 23, 2010 10:27 AM CST

Me: Tonight, I found out just how like-minded SLC Dunk and Canis Hoopus’ respective communities are.

Example 1: Princess Bride references:
Wesley!
/princess bride
by googoleeoottooooleeoottooooleeeatta on Dec 23, 2010 10:38 AM CST

Inconceivable?
Not tonight!
by SoDakHmr on Dec 23, 2010 10:39 AM CST

Example 2: Suggestions for drinking games:
We should play a Darko drinking game
ideas?
by yarrgh on Dec 23, 2010 10:38 AM CST

For every missed hook, free throw or tipped rebound…
you’re drunk with 8:42 left in the 2nd quarter! :)
by SoDakHmr on Dec 23, 2010 10:40 AM CST

The player or the poster
I haven’t had alcohol poisoning in a couple of decades….
by Ailuridae on Dec 23, 2010 10:40 AM CST

Example 3: Eager anticipation for a Fes-The Koof dance-off:
Waiting for
A random dance-off between Koufos and Fesenko to break out.
by nja700 on Dec 23, 2010 10:52 AM CST

You know what’s good about Koufus?
He gives an average shmoe like me and you the legitimate reasoning to dream we can play in the NBA too
by yarrgh on Dec 23, 2010 10:54 AM CST

Maybe
If you are 7ft tall.
by Mplax on Dec 23, 2010 11:04 AM CST

The Jonny dance?
by Bad News Wolves on Dec 23, 2010 10:55 AM CST

first step, let deron williams spin away from you with ease.
second step, watch him draw an and-1.
third step, profit.
by googoleeoottooooleeoottooooleeeatta on Dec 23, 2010 10:57 AM CST

AK is killing Love…
by Dominate on Dec 23, 2010 11:04 AM CST

Example 4: I know someone used the following phrase in the SLC Dunk game thread during this game. I know, because it was me:
wtf\???
by CaliWolf on Dec 23, 2010 11:21 AM CST

Flynn is sucking….
by Dominate on Dec 23, 2010 11:12 AM CST

Flynn has sucked…
by Mplax on Dec 23, 2010 11:13 AM CST

Flynn sucks…
by mutleyil on Dec 23, 2010 11:15 AM CST

Flynn is suck…
by googoleeoottooooleeoottooooleeeatta on Dec 23, 2010 11:16 AM CST

Suck is Flynn
by nja700 on Dec 23, 2010 11:16 AM CST

Was looking for future tense there…
“Flynn will always suck” was the correct answer.
by mutleyil on Dec 23, 2010 11:17 AM CST

My biggest problem with Johnny Flynn
Is that he’s not Stephen Curry.
by Waff on Dec 23, 2010 11:14 AM CST

jazz leading in rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, but not points, yet
by brick layer on Dec 23, 2010 11:26 AM CST

fuck fuck fuck
we suck
by TVtwins on Dec 23, 2010 11:29 AM CST

and rambis loses another fistful of hair
by TVtwins on Dec 23, 2010 11:32 AM CST

YAY we suck

we of all people should know to double team Al
by illwafer on Dec 23, 2010 11:33 AM CST

AL never played this good of D when he was with us
by TVtwins on Dec 23, 2010 11:33 AM CST

WE didn’t have Jerry Sloan
by Bad News Wolves on Dec 23, 2010 11:34 AM CST

Al never had this good of a team or coach when he was with us
by googoleeoottooooleeoottooooleeeatta on Dec 23, 2010 11:35 AM CST

You would think that long-suffering Wolves fans would no longer be bitter about losing and not act out during losses, but this is not the case.

God
Hayward looks like such a douche. I’ve seen women with more testosterone than him at Macy’s.
by DarkoMilicic on Dec 23, 2010 11:35 AM CST

Heyward is a good kid
Darko looks much douchier actually.
by MoreJuice on Dec 23, 2010 11:37 AM CST

you are definitely not a young mormon teenage girl
by Stop-n-Pop on Dec 23, 2010 11:38 AM CST

On a team with Andrei Kirilenko
we’re making fun of how Hayward looks?
by Mplax on Dec 23, 2010 11:39 AM CST

Or Big Al?
Living proof that a human once had sex with a water buffalo?
by mutleyil on Dec 23, 2010 11:44 AM CST

Was there really a foul…?
On the Hayward dunk?
by KGMN on Dec 23, 2010 11:38 AM CST

no, there wasnt
there wasnt on the williams and 1 or on the Jefferson and 1
by bheidge on Dec 23, 2010 11:38 AM CST

Yeah, that’s what I thought.
Refs lose us all of our games.
by KGMN on Dec 23, 2010 11:39 AM CST

Kevin Love…
Is already wondering where to sign as a Free Agent. I just can’t see him putting up with this shit any longer.
by mutleyil on Dec 23, 2010 11:38 AM CST

This is a serious concern of mine
Especially after what Big Al said earlier today about how much fun he’s having now that he’s winning.
by jballer_13 on Dec 23, 2010 11:40 AM CST

flashback
I was a jazz fan before we had a team,
for my 10th birthday my dad took me to see the T-wolves vs. Jazz first season in the dome
T-wolves winning until the end when Malone hits a 3 and gets fouled
and I remember crying
is it okay to cry again?
