Utah Jazz vs. San Antonio Spurs: 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.

Well that’s a great start on defense..

Some far better defense and I like the utah dancers

24-23 us after 1. 3 more to go. Let’s keep it up, guys.

The D is horrible.

We can’t win this one
Posted by nish21 on Feb 9, 2019 | 4:59 PM

We need our Rudy
Posted by nish21 on Feb 9, 2019 | 4:58 PM

Rudy (ours) I miss you.

48-62 at half, can we win this one with these players?
Posted by nish21 on Feb 9, 2019 | 5:07 PM

This team has kind of given up.

DDR beat by Mitchell. What tough defense. What a failure to protect the ball.

LMA having all sorts of trouble with Gobert
Posted by Adam72 on Feb 9, 2019 | 5:27 PM

Rudy Gobert destroying LA so painful to watch
Posted by nish21 on Feb 9, 2019 | 5:29 PM

He’s making the west coaches pay for not selecting him to the all star game. Bad for us.
Posted by sdowns1470 on Feb 9, 2019 | 5:29 PM

I like Donovan Mitchell, but sometimes his shot selection really annoys me.
Posted by sdowns1470 on Feb 9, 2019 | 5:45 PM

Mitchell takes on a stiff old Gasol. Mitchell wins.
Posted by Roscoe909 on Feb 9, 2019 | 5:45 PM

When DDR has a turnover, he needs to run back a lot faster on defense than he usually does
Posted by superattorney on Feb 9, 2019 | 5:59 PM

Western Conference is beyond him. Constantly looking for the call when he’s made crappy moves, slow to get back. Need to unload him if we can.
Posted by Roscoe909 on Feb 9, 2019 | 6:06 PM

Pop absolutely get duped taking DD and his contract from the Raptors
going to go down as one of the the worst personnel move in his otherwise stellar career
Posted by dksurf99 on Feb 9, 2019 | 6:08 PM

Pathetic!
Another pathetic showing. Like people say the RRT is where a Spurs team shows it’s true potential… a fringe playoff team with a smattering of old and overpaid players. Who can’t stay healthy and where every single game you have no confidence if the team can really win, even against the pheonixs of the world.

Quick !!! Back to Tanking!!!!!

estmit
Mitchell is gonna go off against us huh

CoffeeRaider
Donovan Mitchell is gonna be a problem.

goosboos
waiting for Rubio and Ingles to go stupidly ballistic against us like they usually do

Tripppnn
They have nobody that can even remotely stop DD or LA

Noteful
Demar should dominate Donovan tonight. No reason for Demar not to feast

Tripppnn
Refs hate DeMar so much smh

pfaf6796
I know ricky rubio is on the Jazz but that doesn’t mean they can leave every jazz player open at the 3 point line. They will start hitting them eventually.

Noteful
Rubio gonna drop 20+ too

goosboos
Rudy Gobert so overrated – no offensive game and gets way too much credit for his defense

desubeast
After the all star reserves results came out a Jazz fan on /r/nba was trying to argue Gobert is a better offensive player than Aldridge, lmao

itslitcuh
Jazz getting fucked by the refs lmao

desubeast
Gobert is pissed lmao no way he doesn’t get thrown out this game

Tripppnn
Not a bad first quarter at all guys, shots will start falling

---

Noteful
Derozan lets Jae Crowder get past him on a drive lol

monkeybrain3
Is there even any point watching this fucking team before the All Star Break? It’s like they stopped understanding what defense meant.

DevilofHellssKitchen
We still prob the worst defense in the NBA

jordonkry
Spurs and the 2nd quarter name a less iconic duo

gnarwhollll
Spurs and third quarter

Ops135
Injuries have absolutely fucked us over in such an important time of our season losing your 2nd and 3rd most important players is some awful luck

Noteful
After 15+ seasons of success and relatively good luck on injuries I believe Pop’s deal with the devil is done.

Tripppnn
Were so lucky Jae Crowder blows.

Noteful
I wish the Spurs had the cap space to sign Rubio this offseason. He’d be the perfect fit for leading our bench.

Tripppnn
Win or lose we stay in the 7th seed going to Memphis. Silver lining here lol

desubeast
Why do we even wanna make the playoffs? We can’t win a fucking game on the road and we won’t have home court advantage…

philwacho3
I can’t watch any more of this bro. Nobody looks like they give a fuck out there. Everyone just going through the motions. Pathetic

T3L0
Fuck I want to smash somethingagainst the wall. But why the fuck are we fans so dedicated and so loyal? Fuck this shit we dont deserve this kind of performance

joserizal1
You gotta have to watch porn after this, right?
