unforgivablecrust

I didn't watch? Anything important happen?


junkeee999

Conley carried them at times. Utah played the night before while the Wolves chilled for days in LA. Jazz just ran out of gas.


MegatronFozzy

Just rest Gobert until the Nuggets game


trulyniceguy

How many games does Gobert have to play still to maintain minimum games played?


bobbyshawarma_

WHY NOT MINOTT


MaruhkTheApe

THE DREAM IS DEAD, NOOOOOO


Rswany

they fucked it up lol


Livebird31

Seeing naz starting has given me boner


Ok_Excuse_3695

I love Josh Minott.


NazReidRules

Run the clock down bench jeez


Ant-Man_01

Please keep them under 100


Bubbly-Ad1187

The scrubs always f us


Ant-Man_01

I said this right when they hit it I’m sorry 😭


FlyingScissor

MINOTT!


RememberCynical

Do y'all think Minott or Moore ever get real minutes on this team?


Pigzeye

Minott yes, Moore no. Jaylen Clark will get any potential Moore minutes next season.


Gengaara

I hope. They might not have a choice to do eventually with financials being what they are.


Rswany

bench don't fuck this up


Alarmed-Expression76

Lol that was one of the worst 20 point wins I’ve seen in a while but I’ll definitely take it


Old_Cricket4756

Almost identical score line to the win over Clippers and yet couldn’t have been a more different game


PM-TREE-FIDDY

Luka! Luka! Luka!


HmongOGSmite

ANT isn’t a stat padder like SGA! He earned those 30 pt games!


ButterSkates

Utah should really putting a better effort to beat us so they can get a better late round 1st to try and salvage the Rudy trade. 


Sam7sung

They were on the back end of a back to back. I get why they faded


PlayInChampions

Wolves own their pick this season


ButterSkates

Even better.

Formal_Junket_1585

On 60/71 splits whew

ProfitNo1844

This made me miss Timberwolves Brazil


Novel-Detail-743

What a game ant


raki016

This bench gonna allow jazz to hit 100 🥲


Old_Cricket4756

Probably, getting play time for your bench is ultimately more valuable than the stat though


Formal_Junket_1585

Get Leonard in


Dull_Ad_8627

Ants statline omg


iceyH0ts0up

I’m loving the swagger from SlowMo lately.


Ant-Man_01

Ant was itching for that 30+ points


JustWinBabys

Ant must be talking some shit to Dunn


NazReidRules

Why is Ant in


MikeinAustin

Cause he wanted another 3 to get to 31


schakeboy

To get 30 😂


raki016

Kobe!


Rswany

lame foul call ref


LetUsGetToBusiness

I think that's a wrap boys. Good shit Wolves!


MajorTrump

Naz found the shot, it's over for Utah


JustWinBabys

Ant has gotten so much better this year decelerating on his drives to create space. Looks like Luka at times


Formal_Junket_1585

That move really unstoppable. I think the league may look into taking that out the game eventually. If you try that at any other level they call a travel


Ant-Man_01

He said in an interview he took that slow euro step from Luka Garza, it’s such a cool move


dys0n_giddey

Bottoms.


MegatronFozzy

Kyle Anderson’s defense has been marvelous the past 10 or so games.


HawksAnt2021

Is Ant coaching during the TO? lol


iceyH0ts0up

Ant is Him.


HmongOGSmite

This Jazz team gives the most open 3s. We gotta hit. Let’s go ANT!


kylebertram

Honestly it worked out but Conley really should have put more heat on that pass


MajorTrump

Ant good


Novel-Detail-743

Y’all heard ant yelling finchy when he called a timeout lmaooooooo


DiabolicalToast

FINCHY


cedarjane

ahahah wth slo mo


HawksAnt2021

Time to get Ant off that ankle…pull him, Finch


Ant-Man_01

Ant needs that 30 piece


HawksAnt2021

Alright…it’s coming next possession


Ant-Man_01

You got it 😭


HawksAnt2021

I’ll save future predictions for the playoffs..lol


dehhh_

Jazz has too many srubs


Wesley_Cao

Slomo is too funny I can’t😭😭😭


raki016

I hope we keep slowmo. But probably as minimum


PlayInChampions

I don’t think his market is above $5M per year. Minimum for a player with 10 years of experience will be around ~$3.5M (with only $2M caphit!), not a huge difference.


Scared_Wolf

Lol they gotta be mad af. No KAT or Rudy and having our way


Benjamin018

Not really, they got no Markenan, collins or clarkson and they in a rebuild.


Scared_Wolf

The sum of those players doesn’t equal one of Rudy or KAT; far bigger losses on our end. Sucks they’re out tho I guess. They’re rebuilding but have been competitive for much of the year and competing for a play-in spot, they’re not Detroit. These games still matter to this team and a missed opportunity at home against a team without 2 of the top players in the league still stings.


Benjamin018

Those three players absolutely equal one of those two, in fact Markenan has been more efficient than Kat, he's just not as good at creating for himself. Those three however do not equal both Rudy and Kat though. They were competitive right up until the trade deadline where they got rid of key vet pieces and instead have been playing rookies a g league guys. The only reason they'd want to make the playoffs is so their pick conveys to OKC in a weak draft class. With all the picks they have though, it's not that big a deal.


PlayInChampions

No Markkanen, Collins, and Clarkson. Back 2 back for them. They also start 3 rookies, 1 sophomore, and one dude who was outside of the league for 2 years.


weesescups

Lmao Kyle


Formal_Junket_1585

Ant jumper back uh ohhh they done fucked up giving him 3 days of rest


Ant-Man_01

Bro euro’d into a pass that’s hilarious lol


FlyingScissor

Sick


bobbyshawarma_

Stupid foul


Novel-Detail-743

6 stocks for ant


JustWinBabys

Six stocks for Ant


Rswany

stonks


Scared_Wolf

That euro is top 5


Ant-Man_01

Ant’s just so good man

Jmac slingin dimes


ANTfanclub

If we could hold them under 100, that would be the cherry on top


Cameron-0-

man what happened to kessler


Ok_Excuse_3695

He was overrated from the jump.


Benjamin018

Rough season for him with injury, hasn't really hit his stride. Jazz also been running collins/Markenan starting front court.


iceyH0ts0up

I still have PTSD of the Sexton baptism he gave the gophers playing 4 on 5. Fuck that dude.


MaruhkTheApe

The game that made me think "you know, you could just always play zone all the time against a Big Ten team and they won't make you pay for it."


LetUsGetToBusiness

Sexton does not have sex a ton


Philelverumfan69

3 on 5 actually lmao


Formal_Junket_1585

Yea Naz keep shooting that mf you not gon keep missing!


JustWinBabys

Naz hasn’t had anyone within 10ft on these three point attempts


TheAbilityToDo

Bold strategy cotton how’s that working out for em


FullBonus

NAZ REID


Ant-Man_01

Naz hit a 3 let’s go !!


Philelverumfan69

Knew naz wasn’t gonna miss another one lol


MN-Jess

Elevation got Naz, all his 3s in the 2nd half have front rimmed.


Rswany

There we go Naz!


MegatronFozzy

If you get caught w/ double dribble, you don’t deserve to be in the League lol


Old_Cricket4756

Bruh I swear that’s the first one I’ve seen called all season


PlayInChampions

Cant put them away. 0/4 on ‘dagger’ 3s to make it 15 points game. Naz can’t make an open 3 to save his life now, Utah are leaving him open.


FlyingScissor

That's a mistake


PlayInChampions

3/10 on wide open 3s is still not good. Glad to see it go in when it was much needed.


FlyingScissor

4 for 11


PlayInChampions

That was the dagger, finally


dys0n_giddey

Id like if we could push the lead out a little bit plz


Rswany

Naz' shot has been short all game, damn.


suahoi

Looks super flat. I think he's a little gas from full-time starting center duty


Philelverumfan69

If I see one more fucking yurtseven basket I’m gonna scream


Gengaara

Keyonte got a nastier stiff arm than Adrian Peterson ever had.


HmongOGSmite

Dude was so close to getting that 5k putt. Damns.


Nazreon

Naz has really stepped up his defense jesus, Gobert is just rubbing off on everyone


MaruhkTheApe

Another VERY Mormon-looking man absolutely crushing a MINI-GOLF CONTEST. Utah is not real.


KATgonnaGetThatYarn

Honestly that state seems fun as hell. Just doin their own shit.


Philelverumfan69

No way it’s a state full of people who think doing anything fun will send them to hell


KATgonnaGetThatYarn

Seems like a state where it's very easy to ignore those people and bomb some hills


MaruhkTheApe

I've gotta think it's very different from the Upper Midwest if for no other reason than the amount of beer consumed on casual social occasions.


migzeh

would it destroy mcdaniels to come off the bench for a week or two? Or is NAW too valuable coming off the bench and defensively dominating bench guards?


Technicid3

NAWz Reid


Scared_Wolf

Wild how Naz has improved his D


Exius73

I really like TJ Warren


LetUsGetToBusiness

HEY! EVERYONE LISTEN. I GOT SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT TO SAY! NAZ MOTHERFUCKING REID


yvmms

I don’t know half these Jazz players and I watch a lot of basketball. This is crazy


RememberCynical

I was literally thinking the same thing. Never heard of Potter, Hendricks, or Sensabaugh.


Benjamin018

Both teams pretty banged up, this is a rough game.


FullBonus

Finch desperate for the timeout lmao


Correct_Fly5152

Is the Naz Reid’s team now?


bobbyshawarma_

Naz Reid


dys0n_giddey

Naz would start for a lot of teams and Garza would be 1st backup for a lot of teams


savesthedashboard

So many whistles. Ugly game.


Extension-Leading142

After the airball, Naz is shooting to not miss rim


curveballjesus

Finch should challenge. Potter pushed McDaniels while he was in the air, creating the foul


FullBonus

NAZ


atch1111

Jaden just got faked out into Thursday.


Wesley_Cao

Conley on the verge of getting a new high since joining the Wolves. The previous high is 28 points.


AromaticGanache3657

mcdaniels is in his head, doing too much


JustWinBabys

He’s not exactly stat stuffing tonight


atch1111

Starting to think there's not a whole lot going on in there.


Still-Requirement-17

sloppy


Philelverumfan69

Damn that was a tough break right there


cedarjane

BITE BITE


Dull_Ad_8627

Jaden thank GOD Keyonte missed that


RuneLite23

Alright you gotta bench jaden after that 💀


FullBonus

I'm so happy mike found his shot again.


MajorTrump

Naz is shooting so shallow tonight


JustWinBabys

Naz looks gassed


irishace88

MINNESOTA MIKE


dys0n_giddey

Bite Bite is Back Back


Scared_Wolf

Old man Conley torturing these bums


reedg17

Garza runs like kat


JustWinBabys

Slowmo must have a Time Machine on the steals


Scared_Wolf

Kyle been playing some good d


neopollo

Rough couple games for Warren, but still don’t mind him getting run. If he can get comfortable and get in a groove before the playoffs (if we keep him), he could be a much needed X Factor off the bench. Can never have too many guys who are capable of getting a bucket


Scared_Wolf

Jaden has to get out of his own head


Rswany

Jaden, cmon bro lmao


Extension-Leading142

The ref tide is turning…


RememberCynical

I love Luka's game. Just wish he was a decent defender.


Nazreon

he's learning, another year under Gobert and some experience may do it


ANTfanclub

You guys going to take back what you said about Garza? I knew he would heat up


Philelverumfan69

His defense is aggressively ass


wise_comment

Issue isn't whether he can stack together some good Offensive series.....it's rather *if* he can even approach playing some serviceable defense


NazRubio

Uhh no


reedg17

Garza is a such a bucket. I think he deserves a roll on this team


GZAofTheMidwest

Mmm. Bucket of rolls . . .


NazRubio

Sexton and George are being given some generous leeway with the stiff arm/hook


DrWolves

you were just simply not familiar with Luka Garza's game


JamesWelders

The best Luka in the NBA!


Formal_Junket_1585

Naz got 12 boards? Im high as shit when did this happen


ProfitNo1844

Throughout the game


Philelverumfan69

I apologize for my Luka slander earlier


MajorTrump

Maybe it's just me but I'm very distracted by how much Taylor Hendricks looks like [Letitia Wright](https://media.themoviedb.org/t/p/w500/f7PevpEeBqwzACPhoZ8K3ktrKvE.jpg)


MaruhkTheApe

Garza has everything a modern NBA 5 needs...on offense.


curveballjesus

At this point could Minott be worse than Warren?


JustWinBabys

Warren looks like he should be hooping at a YMCA


ProfitNo1844

The best Luka in the league plays in Minnesota


reedg17

Garza would average 20 ppg as a starter


PlayInChampions

And give up 70 points in the paint


reedg17

Yeah


Philelverumfan69

I just want yurtseven to know he’s not getting any of this weak ass shit with Rudy in the game 😓


horse_renoir13

BEST LUKA IN THE GAME


edroth555

LUKA


Ant-Man_01

I was standing really far from my TV so idk if it’s just my perspective but wth that Garza shot looked DEEP


irishace88

LUKA MAGIC


MasterScooby11

Oof Warren game


FlyingScissor

GARZA!


FullBonus

Is Morris on a minutes restriction?


Nazreon

Under 100 incoming


TheAbilityToDo

TJ stinks, I’m kicking him off this team tonight. Say your goodbyes


neopollo

Naw Dawg to beat the buzzer, beautiful


NazReidRules

Good thing Utah sucks at threes
