Utah Jazz vs. Minnesota Timberwolves: Opponent Game Thread Highlights

FYI I’ve been told the second half of the game thread often doesn’t show up when viewing these posts in the Twitter app’s reader mode.

Teague is out … we got a chance ….

Bayless been playing pretty good lately and tonight would be a great chance to go all out on Point Wiggins

There is a fine line between good and not blowing up in our face.

If he doesn’t get abused I’ll be impressed

Any way we can execute a pre-game or in-game trade for Ricky??
“Ricky! Come back!!!”

I have the bad feeling this is going to be a rough game.
Posted by FarFromHoopen on Jan 25, 2019 | 8:32 PM

Yeah
I don’t see a victory tonight.

Things aren’t looking so good

Man That Korver can shoot … pretty Awesome

Utah playing nasty D
Posted by Cretbo24 on Jan 25, 2019 | 8:52 PM

It’s baffling how the floor looks so crowded when we’re on offense
And there’s just acres of space on our end
Posted by Timber Dome on Jan 25, 2019 | 8:59 PM

Down 7 is pretty damn good all things considered

These refs are something
Posted by zebano on Jan 25, 2019 | 9:28 PM

When you have to give 3-4 techs, you’re doing a bad job
Posted by MNIslander on Jan 25, 2019 | 9:31 PM

That’s some shit
right there. That ref knows he sucks.
Posted by NBW on Jan 25, 2019 | 9:31 PM

I think that just about does it
That’s like a seven point swing. Now the team is coming unglued.
Posted by NBW on Jan 25, 2019 | 9:33 PM

I wanna get behind the Jazz in general.
But I just cannot stand Gobert. Absolutely my least favorite player in the league.
Posted by Lunchman on Jan 25, 2019 | 9:34 PM

Man sets some seriously dirty screens
Moving with a 2 hand shove. Not cool
Posted by zebano on Jan 25, 2019 | 9:35 PM

Fucq
The roster is like an ER.
There won’t be anybody left in Iowa by the end of the weekend
Posted by SoDakHammer on Jan 25, 2019 | 9:39 PM

Doctor! The patient has signs of life!!!!
Posted by SoDakHammer on Jan 25, 2019 | 10:01 PM

Ingles should be an all star
Posted by zebano on Jan 25, 2019 | 10:01 PM

Down 8. Dare I hope?
Posted by NYCVike on Jan 25, 2019 | 10:04 PM

no
Posted by Joel Hernandez on Jan 25, 2019 | 10:05 PM

This game is getting interesting.
Posted by Mnem on Jan 25, 2019 | 10:14 PM

Well that was not ideal

Worst final possession team in The NBA.

FuckedYouInHalf
expecting a 25 point loss, anything better I would consider a moral victory

vieman
Jazz need an All Star with how their team is playing right?

anal_moose1229
I’m pretty sure Gobert will make it

vieman
I think so too

AdolfKoopaTroopa
I hope we dont get jingled

mcmullet
We better win. Don’t we have arguably more talent than Utah? Actually we have a lot of injured players. Never mind.

FuckedYouInHalf
top to bottom? and considering Utah having one of the 3 best coaches in the league? probably not

ChicksDigMyOPS
Joe Ingles looks like that one crazy relative at every holiday get together.

AdolfKoopaTroopa
Joe Ingles looks like he smokes rollies

jbranton30
Quin Snyder still looks like a crack head

Benjammin341
Quin Snyder looks a lot like the Joker from Batman.

NorthernDevil
Jesus this lineup

respighi
The 5 on the floor right now can’t compete against any squad in the NBA.

FuckedYouInHalf
We are an NBA team I swear

GopherNutz
I’m tired of Utah’s depth.

tilikum15
so we just not tryna win this game huh

TossingTurnips
Yeah we just gave up already.

kcajfrodnekcod
Is this offense

WHO_AHHH_YA
Stop playing 2013 “JJ barea hero ball”, Bayless.

Entelion
Tank unit test: Resounding success.

FuckedYouInHalf
Quin Snyder is easily my favorite coach in the NBA. Impeccable defensive scheme, adapts his schemes to his players, has unique offensive sets and runs plays on plays on plays. Don’t see that a lot anymore in the NBA

GheeGhee
We’re gonna lose by fiffftttyy

GheeGhee
Biggest first quarter take. Fuck you KAT for getting into foul trouble and letting your team down. Fuck you Wiggins for doing nothing when your Big went to the bench and watched Bayless chuck

ESPOMAN71
This is stupid

ryvie001
I love to watch Mitchell play tbh

rblask
I hate Kyle Korver, he always just destroys us

kcajfrodnekcod
Nobody out there can stop Gobert

weebrave
We dont really have the team to beat Gorbert

Nxc06
Gobert is unstoppable with our current lineup in. Need someone bigger

Nxc06
Quin Snyder looking like a mob boss out there

kcajfrodnekcod
Third/fourth stringers against a defensive player of the year. Hmm wonder how we fell behind

jbranton30
We have 0 offense

chillywillyG
It is a miracle we’re only down by 7

aciman
So stoked to only be 7 down.

HelloJimB
Nice, single digit deficit against a good team.

Kingph195
7 points of difference without rose, covington, teague,, jones, “towns” its good difference.

b-bballtubing
On the end of a back to back while playing in high altitude against a elite team… never been more stoked to be down 7…

vieman
Lucky to be a single digit game.

GopherNutz
Well it wasn’t pretty but impressive by the bench crew to keep it to 7. Could have been a lot worse

PhatGiraffe42
The fact that it’s only a 7 point game at halftime is pretty incredible. Feels like were down by 20+ right now.

mattmonty95
Think we can trade back for Rubio during halftime?

---

Andy_Wiggins
Mitchell is using his off-arm nonstop. He’s pushed off 3 times this quarter alone

Infin1tySlay3r
Superstar calls dude.

optimus187
Here comes Ingles. Fuck

TheFinnisher
The speed at which Snyder chews his gum coupled with the look in his eyes makes me uncomfortable

TossingTurnips
Wooow Refs

irishace88
Fuck the refs

minnesotagoat_
these refs are HORRIBLE

SandorTheLumberjack
wtf refs

Mellow_Maliekk
Fuck these trash ass refs

cromulu5
Not like the Jazz needed help. BS refs.

Skyzii
These refs soft as a fucking marshmallow.

vieman
5 free throws on that possession lol

ryl0_k3n
this really is some grade A bullshit

Jrpre33
Yeah these refs are trash

tiredofyourlowiq
Rudy Gobert > KAT
Sorry, but true

waitinghereforabus
Fuck these refs man, everytime we’re in Utah it’s absolute fucking trash

jbranton30
what the actual fuck is this officiating. If you’re gonna do a shitty job at least be equally shitty

TheFinnisher
Are the refs gonna foul out our whole damn team

Benjammin341
I hope the whole team gets ejected

ryl0_k3n
The Utah James Harden’s

ymmvs
Game is trash. Jazz fans are delusional as fuck. They’re legitimately appalled that the Timberwolves’ players are angry about anything

edgykitty
Donovan Mitchell should be fouled out by now.

U-casualty
Refs aside, the Jazz came to play tonight. This was gonna be a tough game to win.

noahlose
The foul total is Wolves 16-14 Jazz but we got the 4 techs and 3 on one play

FuckedYouInHalf
Watching the Jazz run their offense is like watching Michelangelo paint the Sistine Chapel compared to ours lmfao

tfwnobigtittygothgf
I’m feeling a fourth quarter comeback

---

Infin1tySlay3r
9-0 run in 2 mins, certainly encouraging

TheFinnisher
Quin Snyder violently chomps on gum looks towards the refs for some help here

Infin1tySlay3r
13-0 run in 3 mins holy shit love seeing these guys not give up

DroseMegaFan6969
utah fans booing, shut the fuck up

jbranton30
No Jazz player has the right to complain about a call for the rest of the night

kirbypucket
Utah fans and players, so angry

tfwnobigtittygothgf
After hearing the stories from Westbrook and Harden from the playoffs last season I think I dislike Utah fans the most

Arbitux
HOLY SHIT THIS MIGHT BE A COMEBACK WIN

FuckedYouInHalf
we are just willing the ball in to the basket right now lol

minnesotagoat_
Joe Ingles is so fucking annoying

ryl0_k3n
LOOOL ingles complaining suck it up

DroseMegaFan6969

AdolfKoopaTroopa
Joe Ingles looks like he picks half smoked cigarettes up off the sidewalk and finishes them
