Pregame
We traditionally do not play well at Utah. Combine that with the fact we aren't playing particular well at the moment. This game has blowout written all over it, huh?
Another L For sure. They are 4-0 at home
Hood is a bad match up for us. Hopefully Pat and Cj are ready to play some defense, because I don't think switching them onto Ingles is any better of an option.
This isn't last year....we can't underestimate Utah. Even minus Hayward they are still a force.
I bet Rubio goes off and hits like six 3s against us tonight...
Game thread
Going at Gobert early....I like it!
Ricky Rubio looks like the foreign guy that try's to f*** the main characters wife in an 80s movie
Donovan Mitchell is nice.
Mitchell is gonna drop 20 tonight
Mitchell showing why he quickly shot up draft boards. Reminds me of a young Wes Mathews with a better 3pt shot.
I loved hearing the stat that were #3 in 3 point FG% in the league. It's like "Sure doesn't look like it."
Mitchell killing us
Joe Ingles getting wherever he wants
I particularly liked the possession where everyone stood around and watched Pat ISO.
Blazers have 4 assists on 12 FG's. Jazz defense is working and like I said earlier in this thread...Utah likes ugly games. Blazers are cooperating
God I wish we traded up for Mitchell instead of Collins
Why the f*** is this rookie already passing his season average?* Pathetic
Cool. They're letting a rookie kick their asses.
Now if we can hold the Jazz to only 16 unanswered points in the 2nd qrt I think we can win this.
3 blind mice reffing this game.
LOL refs blew the F*** out of that call for the Jazz.
LMFAO! Finally we get some ******** calls our way!
We are getting lucky with the refs
We're not going to score again this quarter, are we?
They're just guessing on calls. Hurting Utah more than us though.
fk do you realize we are making Ingles look good????
I don’t know why but Utah seems like another country to me.
That's the second ******** call in our favor !
Funny how fast the Jazz's rebuild was. Draft Mitchel Trade 4 Rubio Same ole
Every time Aminu does a step back long two an angel dies
Jerebko looks like an edgy, angsty teenage 80s movie villain. I think his older brother was in Die Hard
Games against the Jazz (and Mempis) always make me feel like I've eaten shellfish that wasn't cleaned properly. Just so much grit.
Gobert's timing is so good. He was step for step with Dame on that lay up.
Stop sending them to the line. It's the only place they're getting points.
39-39....sending basketball back to the peach basket days.
Imagine if the Jazz had Joe Johnson and Dante Exum.
The Jazz are only shooting 25% from the field at halftime and it's tied? LoL
A Jazz defender actually just ran away from Aminu as he got the ball....lol.
These refs are so bad both ways. My goodness.
How do you let Ingles get anywhere off the dribble? He's more left hand only than Ed Davis.
I hate this Mitchell
LOL these refs are god awful for EVERYONE.
Hood doing us a favor by hunting for and forcing up bad shots. But you know he's going to randomly hit several in the 4th quarter.
I saw Udoh with Fenerbahce last year, he's a defensive stud. (Bonus, he played in CJ's brother arch-rival team )
Of course Rubio hits that shot.
Swear all of the jazz cheerleaders look like stock photo characters.
lol now rubio is draing 3's?
A Rubio pull up 3 are you kidding me ?
I preferred Rubio with short hair
I preferred him when he didn't know how to shoot.
Rubio hitting pull up threes is some salt in the wound ****.
I'm seriously starting to dislike CJ. Whatever the f*** is wrong with this guy, I don't want it on our team.
These refs really are ****. Can never tell what they're going to call or when.
Jazz commentators are so good man
Why people always trying to sell people on Utah drafting the next Lillard?
First it was Burk, now it's Mitchell.
Can we stop giving a ****ty *** offensive team in Utah wide open 3's. ffs
This has been a really fun 4th quarter.
6'3" guy in the middle of Blazers.....and Mitchell gets the putback. Ugh!
But Dame answers from Ogden!!
I'm calling it: The worst game in CJ's career, given where he is at in his development.
We have to work so f***ing hard just to get Dame the ball and then they walk down and make two unopposed passes and get a wide open 3. Something is wrong
Oh right in the dick
Not sure “drive into the lane where the best shot blocker in the league is” is the ideal play
I would've liked to see that too. Gobert is just so long no guarantee it gets through.
Great play by Gobert.
This is hilarious rookie is demolishing us lol
This rookie is destroying them.
Jazz getting so many wide open 3s.
I guess we're just incapable of taking advantage of the fact they are using two defenders on Dame at all times.
Rubio sure is an annoying player it seems that he loves to flop and over-exaggerate contact on a regular basis. I guess I can understand why Batum hated Spanish players so much.
Unrelated, but between that tattoo and the beard/long hair Rubio is rocking he's definitely trying to pass himself off as a mountain man.
**** Rubio I swear to god
This is what we always resort to when the game is on the line, Damian launching 30 ft 3 pointers
omgg golbert
They are daring anyone not named Damian Lillard to do something on offense.
Come on Blazers, I can’t take two heartbreaker in a weeks time span.
It's annoying when guys who can dunk without jumping think they need to bring their knees up like that.
stupid,,,of course Golbert would block
Gobert can hit free throws
Jesus Nurk, Gobert is backing you deep into the paint... grow a sack and D up that French fry
Apparently because Stotts has us wasting half the shot clock trying to get Dame the ball and then set a screen 30 feet from the hoop so he can get double teamed, and he's having everyone else just stand at the 3 point line with their hands in their pants.
That was an extra knee to the 'mid-section'.
Ohhhh Thabo you're in trouble mister
HOW THE FRAKKING FRAK IS THAT A FRAKKING TECHNICAL FOUL...IT WAS DURING FRAKKING PLAY....WTF IS WRONG WITH THESE STUPID FREAKING REFS?????????????????????
Rubio with the jake gylenhal look
Timberwolves should of kept Rubio
Donovan Mitchell is going to be a star in this league....what a good D on Nurk there....
Down 3 with under 30 seconds, should we step out of the paint and do something on defense? Naw, just let him walk into a 3 and hope he misses... well **** no one could have seen that coming.
Rubio with his third 3... F*** off
so rubio doesnt f***ing miss now?
Rubio is beating us in OT. Rubio.
Mitchell and Rubio outplaying our guards
What a good game....they came up a bit bigger than us, but good game all around.
yuck. I hate it so much when we lose just because some scrub has an exceptional game. Rubio and Mitchell ain’t that good…
Post game
Oh I am in SUCH a bad mood right now.
The screens by Gobert though are ridiculous. They are almost all moving. He sticks his *** out and the last one he gave an elbow. That gets old.
58 points for Rubio and Mitchell. I know this is beating a dead horse but Dame/CJ just does not work defensively. And when you get torched by those two, it is even more evident.
I feel like a sucker for watching the 2nd half of this game. I gotta stop wasting my time tuning into watch this ****.
weird stat: Rubio 1 assist 4 turnovers
Meh, Utah rarely loses at home and they had to get a tremendous display by both Rubio and Mitchell to even make this a game. A made FT here or there and then this could have easily been a 1 point win in the regular time. I wouldn't call this a "horrible loss" its not like the Jazz suck ***.
We deserved to lose this game...but can someone please explain to me how the Thabo foul was a Tech and a personal foul and not a flagrant....
FROM*THE*FREAKING*RULEBOOK:
Section V—Conduct*
a. An official may assess a technical foul, without prior warning, at any time. A technical foul(s) may be assessed to any player on the court or anyone seated on the bench for conduct which, in the opinion of an official, is detrimental to the game. A technical foul cannot be assessed for physical contact when the ball is alive.
Well it looks like not many teams are winning in Utah this season they are 5-0 at home and 0-3 on the road this season. To make matters worse their only "close loss" on the road was against the Wolves, they got blown out by the Clippers in LA and lost by a pretty decent margin to the Suns in Phoenix.
Their guards killed us...our guards need to get better on defense if we hope to go anywhere.
Did not expect to lose because we had the second-best backcourt.
11 FTs for Rubio and 5 for Dame. I swear Rubio flat out flopped every time anyone got near him and the refs kept giving it to him. Not why we lost, but still annoying. Rubio looking like Euro soccer trash out there.
Told you guys not to understimate the Jazz they are good.
Well, that's another game we should have won... sigh. Good night everybody
If you let Ricky Rubio score 28 points and a rookie (Mitchell) also another 28 points, "should have" is right the f*** out the window.
I still don't understand the Selfolosha popping nurk in the balls foul...why a regular foul and a tech and not a flagrant...what diffrientiates that? If it deserves a tech why not a flagrant?
why does no one get credit for Hood shooting 0-10? also Dame made a ton of clutch defensive plays
Up 5 late in the fourth quarter. I thought we could pull it out. NO dice though.
You know its a tough night when Ricky freakin’ Rubio drops 30 on you.
Despite the score being tied at half I thought we we were playing right into*UTA*hands. They love that slow it up, grind away at you brand of ball that Nate use to coach when he was here. The third quarter was much different. We changed the tempo and I started getting my hopes up that we could pull this one out. The last 8 minutes or so of game play we simply didnt execute. If you dont execute out west playing on the road you are going to lose.
At least Nurk looked focused tonight. He looked great until the cheap shot to his groin. That should have been a flagrant 2 at worse. It looked very intentional and even the*UTA*announcers were surprised that a flagrant wasnt called. Very very tough loss for the good guys.
Also, how about Donovan Mitchell? He looked fantastic tonight. Hat tip to the rook. He looks like a keeper. Hit some big shots for*UTA. I am going to keep my eye on this kid.
Man, Mitchell looks like the real deal.
I wonder what led to Hood going 0-11. Was it Aminu and Harkless? OR was he open and just not making his shots?
Donovan Mitchell has worn Damian Lillard’s signature Adidas shoes since his college days. Dame’s taken notice and the two are known to text occasionally.
Tonight, he wore the new Dame 4’s in a yellow Jazz colorway.
Filling in for*Rodney Hood, who shot 0-11 and sat most of the fourth and OT, Mitchell posted a career-high 28 points on four three-pointers.
We're the guy at the party who's been flirting with a dime all night and the moment they lock eyes and he leans in to seal the deal with some face to face tongue slappin, he pukes... Like ALL OVER HER DRESS AND SHOES.. this same guy*has*to go out every other night pretending*like that didn't just happen.
On what planet does Ricky Rubio shoot 3s
Take-aways:
1. F***
2. F***
3. F***
4. F***
5. F***
6. F***
7. F***
8. At least Nurk is back
9. And Vonleh
10. F***
11. F***
12. F***
13. These close losses hurt my soul.
14. F***
Is this team just allergic to handling the ball late game without turning it over. Refs gave us so many missed calls, and we STILL can’t beat a team that is worse than last year. Dames the only one who consistently shows up. Cj can’t grip the ball, nurkic still doesn’t know what a pump fake is, and the rest of the team might as well not even have dressed.
I know the only thing people hear in the media is that Hayward left, but I wouldn't be so sure we are worse than last year. Upgrades at point guard and pf depth. Donovan Mitchell is the real deal.
Wow mitchell donovan is good hadn't seen him play ever before. Really out classed everyone on the floor except for dame. Quin snyder seems like a much more competent all around coach than terry. I believe the blazers are more talented but it feels like the jazz straight buzz saw us every time we play.
Gobert barely grazed it with his finger tips. That was an incredible block. Any player and any coach of dames level would go for the floater/runner over a contested 3 point shot guarded by Thabo sefelosha, an all NBA defensive first team level permitter defender.
