Jazz @ Timberwolves gamethread

If Wiggins ever develops the killer instinct, watch out! He plays so quietly. Sometimes I forget he's out there.

Hayward played great defense on Wiggins. Wiggins is also in a slump. Wiggins is a really good player though and better than Lavine.
 
Some Jazz sportswriters have hinted that they are showcasing Mack to trade him.

I don't see why you take Exum out the rotation completely.

If they are showcasing Mack, then I'm totally on board with what they're doing, as long as they move him fairly soon.

However, I'm just a bit concerned Utah might try to limit Exum's minutes for the next year and a half, to try and avoid somebody throwing a max at him. That kind of thing happens from time to time, especially with teams who are going to be up against the wall financially, such as Utah will be.
 
Good lord, Zach LaVine played 44 minutes. I guess Thibs is going to kill him with minutes this year.
 
How many points does Lavine get in garbage time? Every game I watch he seems to step up late in games that are pretty much out of reach. I have watched very few of his games this season though.

It's like Thibs was in on it too, no reason to play foul game but he chose to.
 
I fully agree. But I dont think Mack should be getting minutes at all. Whatever we get from him is not worth it. They did want to ease Exum into play this season slowly and they were forced somewhat to play him more with Hill going down early. Maybe they are also backing him off a bit and letting him watch for a few games because of this.

Exum is also a mouth breather. Maybe they want him fresh for the rockets game.
 
We're #7 in the league in +- rebounds.

Wolves made a game of it but it was a nice win. Without Hill this would have been an iffy one.
 
I'm impressed at the stat boosting to end the game. Now I know how Lavine/Wiggins/Towns get such good numbers on a bad team.
 
This is what I expected from Diaw too, to be a distributor on this team. No idea how he fell off so hard at the beginning of the season, but he's been putting a relatively nice stretch together last few games
 
great execution down the stretch.

Where the F is Rodney Hood? Joe Johnson?

Exum's doghouse blows.

Rudy has been incredible during these three games.
