Game Thread - Minnesota Timberwolves @ Utah Jazz

Minnesota Timberwolves at Utah Jazz, Mar 17, 2010 7:00 PM MDT


Not much to say about tonight's game other than if the Jazz still can't win given the following, then I don't know what to say:

  • Minnesota has lost 10 straight
  • They played last night against PHX
  • They gave up 156 points!!!! (is that enough exclamation points? No?) !!!!!!!!!!!!
  • The Jazz had no game last night
  • The Jazz are at home
  • Minny has the worst record in the conference
  • They're going to get a better pick than us.
  • They rank 29th in offense and 28 on defense

Granted, all of our trouble against the TWolves came in December when we we're playing our best ball.  The Jazz are a much better team now and shouldn't have a problem tonight.  I like how they took care of things against the Wizards and expect no less tonight.

LETS GO JAZZ

I’m gonna miss the discussion tonight. I’m going to a buddies to watch the game. So everyone yell, complain, and cheer loud for me.

stop jazz!!
Evening/Morning/Afternoon all!

Locke says we have a full bench today

Oh Tazz, I was looking forward to talking to you tonight.

You’re in NZ yes?

Nup

Hobart, Tasmania, Australia

Dang it.
Why?
I was hoping for some sort of connection in NZ.

There’s a chance I might be heading out there sometime in the future.

... same difference.

/ducks to avoid boomerang

when you go to your car

and find the windshield gone, you’ll know a kangaroo did it.

Shurrup, the 2 of you

And you NEVER call an Aussie a Kiwi

can you call a kiwi an aussie?
Don't care what you call them ;)
Just got here

AND you NEVER call a Kiwi an aussie.

But feel free to call us Bro or Cuz!!

haha, just teasing

I lived in South Africa so I know how to push the Aussies’ buttons. ;)

Ahh, Saffa-influenced

That explains it ;)

Go Springboks. :)
They've had our number for a few years now
AK will save us all
Quietest game thread ever?
Looks kinda empty in the arena at the moment too.
OH HELL NO

Never say that to an Aussie or Kiwi

WTH is this?
So typical against the T-Wolves.
Gomes is always ready to play against the Jazzercisers.
it's korver's bday

i think they should have all worn green knee socks

atta boy, OMSW!

I’ve always wanted to do that to a ref…

wth

14-6

booooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Why can't we slow down PGs off the pick and roll?
I'll give you two guesses.
That time it was #13
Yup. Bad defensive combo.
NINJA!

That was SLICK

memo hook shot goes down!
Look guys. You could try to sound smart and say that we struggle against the T-Wolves because they run the triangle offense.

But really, the Wolves have bigs we can’t guard one on one and motivated players who can hit open shots. And they outplay us most of the time. It’s simple.

And they have Corey Brewer

/sigh

I like Milicic's chocolate milk moustache.
that wasn't adam morrison?
boler coins new name for memo

sky hook okur

Maybe

Baby Hook Memo given the recent addition?

the milk commercial looks out of date

as deron has a beard

His Baileys moving commercial is way out of date
but he looks the same in that commercial as he does now
Don't care, it's still nice to see our Deron on a national campaign
okc loses to the 'cats!
If Bolerjack says "the Oklahoma City Thunda'" one more time...
if we sign mark eaton

to do nothing but stand near the basket with his arms up, i think we would be a much improved team

So sad that that is a true statement.
Paging Greg Ostertag.
let's go with eaton

he’s taller

I don't know why we don't sign him.

And paging Mr. Basketball John…

All he would need is a back brace.
Minny missing a lot of bunnies
luckily for us

we could easily be down double digits

That was a strange jump ball situation.
Oh sh!t
More Ronnie Price at point guard always means really good things.
yes but also more pt for yatta
Good things?

Are you a T-Wolves fan?

/sarcasm goes over utesfan's head
pssh

sarcasm doesn’t go over my head.
I knew it was sarcasm, no worries.

I forgot to put #sarcasm
That's just wonderful

Deron twisted an ankle

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
And the worst thing is that I am losing at twitter trivia on computer games of 2009.
Can we get Maynor back?

I mean, I love Yatta, but Maynor would help too.

we're screwed
I don't know

wasn’t there something about how the team plays better without Deron?

for a game or two

not for long stretches, i don’t think.

Nice fast break

horrible getting back on D

Jefferson is eating us alive. Good game for Fes to have a shot.
Why is Sap shooting that?
Thought for sure that whistle was on Millsap
what's up with sap's reliable midrange shot?

somehow i think boozer and a voodoo doll are involved.

Nice read by Price
Not good not good.
Doe taking the charge
as an al jeff fantasy owner

it feels like a long time since he had a good game.

/not surprised the game i’ve been waiting for is coming tonight

Aren't we down 10?
--steve brown alert--
So Steve Brown's update is that he isn't sure what's going on. Awesome.
AKWSUA!!!!
Fess going to check in.
He was raised by Timberwolves, you know.
That explains a lot
ronnie pretty!
Wasn't going to join in tonight.....

but I had to throw my $.02 in on Steve Brown’s insightful report from the locker room…

That is all.

Too cool for us, huh?
Hahahaha...

yeah right! I’ve got a 4 am wake up call tomorrow for a flight and have some stuff to take care of around the house.

Boler talking to Pace about being unemotional.
Pace Robot was very unsuspicious.
what do we think about pace's suit today?
missed it. Summary?
Deron back

on the bench

+8 (catrillion)
Deron checking back in.
it's like he's returning from war
Steve Brown...

See above.

Korgasm!
korgasm!
Bolerjack just had two sportsgasms.
Nah, he's faking it.
Finally, some life.

Fess entrance a coincidence?

Not often I will say this but.....

yes.

Nope. Changed our entire defense.
MORGAN JEWELER!!
YOU GOTTA LOVE IT BABY
HOLY S**T!

PLAY OF THE YEAR!

That was beautiful!
watch david stern fine boozer for his bandaid
Here is a stupid defensive scenario:

A PF is 30 feet away from the basket with no chance of scoring or making an offensive move and there is 10 seconds on the shot clock. And you foul that player and send them to the line. Unacceptable.

That

was not so pretty

ny loses to boston
Al Jefferson and Greg Oden have the same "old-man" genes.
was just thinking that

lbj too

Off topic.... (BBJ!!)

and I’m sorry I’m not waiting until half time, but has any progress been made on an SLC Dunk night out? If it is possible I think it would be a lot of fun to do at the PHX game on the 14th (I believe), it is the last regular season game, and also it is going to be LHM Night (according to Greg’s tweet from earlier today).

Thoughts?

I've been working/slacking on that

That would be a good game. I’ll get something up tomorrow

So this one time ......... at band camp......

Actually in the kitchen operating on a reel…….

This game starts, and the howls of obvious disapproval coming from the big screen room is loud and frequent!!

So I go to hurrying my job at hand………………………..

You are all guessing correctly!

I get to do it all over again!!!

See

That’s help D from Fess

He sould have mounted the guy.....

That bygawd would be a foul!

how sad

that the vets should learn from that

Fess got a hair cut?

No highlights?

A sign of his maturity and leadership.
OH YOU ARE KIDDING ME
Amazing...... no call!
wow. that's all.
the night is young...
we're 1-11 from 3

and it’s halftime

and we're up 9

Lucky?

It should probably be tied with all of the missed layups by Minnesota
All right all...

Just a drive by for me tonight. Have a great 2nd half… I’ll see y’all next week!

Steve Brown

Whatchutalkaboutathaltime?

what's wrong with ak?

why is cj coming in already?

Wasn't he hurt?

Maybe he’s not 100%?

Reinjured his calf.
gravity is our enemy
gary briggs working OT
pretty/ugly move by memo
I'll take it. :)
I love how Booze is yelling

after the dunk

he yells after everything

after missed shots, while shots are being taken, after made shots, etc.

on the replay...

NINJA!!!!!!!

Deron with the DUNK

Booze with the post dunk reaction!!

Ak not coming back
crap crap crap crap
Left ankle looks just fine
I actually got my reel finished and working during half time!!!!!!!!!!

I knew ya’ll needed such info during commercial break.

1 down 13 to go... :)
AK done for the night
1-14 from 3

Does he look like Diddy there to anyone else?
Yes he does.

Would love to see him

throw some Ninja Stars or Blades out from under it!!

throwin' assists like ninja stars...
in fact

I’m coinin’ that one… no more dropping dimes… it’s chuckin’ ninja stars.

Makes him look very tough............... Ninja like, ya know?
I think he needs compression sleeves on both shoulders, and on his legs too.

And a little mask :D

he's starting to look like a football player in my mind
Road Warrior.... Style..
ohhhhhhhhhhh whatta rush
then he would just look cute..
Needs a full suit for the ninja effect.
like that dude in the audience?
that's a helluvan idea for SLCdunk night... lol
Ninja and Pirate costumes for everyone.

the dude in the green lycra all in one?

Displaying it all no less!!!

korgasam! again
john stockton FTW
The Wolves have capitulated.
Mattty sinks a THREE!!!!!
WOOT! Ronnie!
Fast break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! with a score!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ronnie freaking price!!!
OMSW loved that

almost as much as Ronnie did.

ronnie price = inigo to matthews' omsw
Except

the person that should be saying “prepare to die” is Millsap

Next thing

he’ll be yelling “get it Memo” or “and1”

Where was the dunk Korver?

I guess it’s true, WMCJ

tantric korgasm!

sorry if that’s inapprop, but he’s just shooting so well

Takin yer time now eh?
multi korgasmic?
Haha, should've dunked it.

as in they're getting cremated?
we could use a bucket though, please...
I c wat u did ther
I'm Glad

to see my man Wes Matthews didn’t get hurt. I’m picking his Marquette Golden Eagles tomorrow.

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Deron gets his 9th assist
why is deron in?

cmon now

I can't imagine they put him back in just so he could get his 21st straight game of 9 assists
They were * only * up 15.

Welcome to Sloan-think.

we all know jerry supr super cares about stats
Memo junks it for two!!!!!!!!!!
no more ronnie b

no more alley’s

Deron isn't stat padding is he?
let's email the toyota tough tundra

and tell them to ask deron’s mom how she raised a ninja

verrrrrrrry carefully

She wouldn’t even know she had a kid as he was a ninja from conception.

there's a great deal i need to learn about ninjas, apparently
Now that some effort!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Millsap

Hustlin’

Bench flood.........
YATTA fo freeeeee!
One shot womderboy got another three!!!!!!!!!!!
Suck it Rambis!

Sorry, pent up TWolves frustration from earlier in the year.

I doubt the Jazz feel any sympathy for them like they did the Wizards
Sap very seriously kickin da stuff all over the court!!
Did Boler just say

they gave up 182 last night?

rewind says no
Oh, okay

i guess I just misheard

We want Jeffers!
he's been in for a couple of minutes
I want him to score
moni busy?
  • ducks *
i think you'd have a better chance looking for someone locally
She's having a tantric..... :)
Hmm.. well I'm not local, so I'm out.
10-point lead
if by ten

you mean twenty

i'm the anti-stereotype

i’m bad at math

Fesstastic block!
OJ did it!
I think I just got that
oh. i just got it after you said that.

Good game folks.

It’s my birthday Friday… I’ll be here. Sad? I think not. :)

Very nice game................
everyone in ukraine must be tuned in right now
Every active Jazz player scored.

FLAWLESS VICTORY

it's like

when I used to beat my little brother with all 12 characters in the original Super Smash Bros. before he could beat me with one.

Nice Win

and the Jazz, above all else, remain an excellent TEAM! Hopefully they keep it up!

Revenge is sweet
What was the play of the year?
