Pregame


Sato gonna **** Donovan Mitchell's whole week up


Really hope Gobert is on very limited minutes.


Easy win tonight

lol what happened to rubio? I never thought Utah would be what made him drop the boyband look and adopt a dark side.

Regarding Mitchell, his game looks really fluid. Explosive, looks like a natural born scorer. I guess he is a bit older for a rookie being 21, but still think there is considerable upside there. His numbers aren't like amazing when I looked em up, but I can't think of many rooks in his role who play with that much poise.




Gamethread


Jazz's defense is smothering us


At some point some of our shots have to fall, right?


Teams come back from deficits like this all the time, especially with so much time left. I’m not saying it’s likely to happen without John, and our starters generally playing like crap recently, but it happens.


Mitchell is just making circus shots. At some point, he has to miss those you would think.


You would think with Gobert out of the game, we would attack the rim but instead we're just settling for mid-range Js.


I’m jealous of Utah’s ball movement


wow, they have terrific flow offensively, moving the ball, drive and kick, making the extra pass. the exact opposite of the wizards


I just wanted to say that Utah is not twice as good as the Wizards


Tbh theyre playing unbelievable without their best player
Their rookie looks like the biggest steal as well, and theyre expecting much better chemistry

They have 2 shot blocking bigs We have 2 PGs that have trouble getting into the lane.

No number of TOs would stave off this *** whooping. Look at them. They are so well coached. Compared to this train wreck.


yes, they look amazing, and we look like an AAU team that doesn't know how to play offense and has no defensive scheme.


Donovan Mitchell > Bradley Beal


How is this the same team that beat Detroit?


the jazz always do this to us. Snyder is a terrific coach


can we have Mitchell and Gobert


Utah creating open threes easily..

Utah has a suffocating defense

Utah's defense is insane.. they're clowning us


Is 28% shooting good?

Wall wouldn't help tonight.. he'd be getting his **** stuffed by Gobert too. Utah has this Wizards team completely figured out. Thank god they’re not in our conference

I just woke up. WTF what a beat down... how?


Gortat fouled Gobert and got his shot ate. Yikes.

ROTATE, ROTATE. The amount of corner 3s is absurd.

Lol.. little D Mitchell just driving to the bucket going right over Gortat for a layup. Man, no one fears our interior D… at all.

Jazz are playing this team like a fiddle. Shutting down the rim and inviting midranges instead of 3pters. And on the other end, they’re doing the exact opposite (moving the ball to get open threes & scoring at the paint)

Alec Burks has looked great. What a monster athlete


getting out rebounded 44-21


I was afraid the Wizards wouldn't leave enough room for an uncontested dunk

Sefolosha is badazz

Good god. The Wiz suck against Utah, whoopdedoo!

Mitchell is a special talent he's not just any rookie. Prettiest shooting form in the league IMO

how the **** is Derrick Favors just 26yrs old lol. feels like he’s been in league forever

Let’s play 3 on 5 like that college game

We were coming off a game where some here called our best game of the year

Luckily Utah is in the west.

I wish we had Alec Burks


Incredible production from the Center position tonight. 2 combined points, 10 rebs, and 4 TO’s between Gortat and Mahinmi. And some stingy rim protection to boot.

I've watched Donovan Mitchell and even pickup legend Joe Ingles go straight over our Centers tonight with absolutely no fear

Tonight prob would have been a beat down no matter what. But the point remains that the C position for this team is a total mess.

Trade Wall! He is like invisible today.

Good that we are the best team in the East. just imagine how much we would lose if we were an average team in the East

how is everyone getting beat off of the dribble every play. then all they have to do is find the open man on the perimeter, which have done every time


I was worried about this before the game, Utah's offense has been extremely hot. We weren't prepared in any way and they capitalized immediately


The offense is what it is, but the defensive effort is unacceptable. Thabo ****ing Sefelosha should not be getting free drives to the rim at will.


Are we running a offense ?


My goodness, that was awful. Was watching on delay on DVR and had to erase ASAP. Hope it's erased from my memory too!
Jazz are the opposite of the Wizards...well coached, well managed, built through the draft and don't overpay fringe free agents.


Jesus this team is so damn difficult to be a fan of sometimes


Rubio looks like he's late to pouring cement into a bucket of water some guy's feet are in.


Anyone remember when Beal was good at finishing at the rim and was automatic from the line? Those were good times.


we are getting ****ing cooked


I felt the Wizards finished very strong to end the game. I think they missed about their last 10 shots.

Yes, they really tightened the screws at the end there to keep it under 50. Good heart. Good effort.

KO with a -42 lol. dont think i’ve ever seen that

It's like staying at the bar until the house lights come on hoping a girl leaves with you and then you still leave alone.


Quinn Snyder is a great coach


Postgame


we look like a summer league team. I don't think the 2nd unit even runs plays


I’m just done. We got the Jazz players going for the biggest win of all time against the wiz. This is just embarrassing-

Saw some of the game, looked like they played scared???

Utah could have a pretty special team when Hood and Joe Johnson return. So many shooters. The Steifel Towers to protect the paint. Rubio really giving them a great passing point guard and that's infectious. They way Mitchell is playing, who needs Gordon Hayward?

second worst loss (-47) in team history. Lost by 52 on 1/10/1971 at MIL. Fifth worst shooting performance (28.7%) in team history. Tied for 11th worst scoring game (69) in team history.

No heart, no toughness, no leadership and no pride. Pathetic.

You read that right, unfortunately

Worst loss since 1971 against the Bucks of Oscar Robertson and Kareem. Nice.

Marcin Gortat was held scoreless for the first time since 2011.

The Wizards made 4 threes tonight, their fewest in a game since 2006. Otto Porter had two of them.

Nice, close game.

Coming off a big win over the Pistons on Friday, the Wizards embarked on a five-game road trip with reason to feel good about themselves and how they have fared so far without John Wall. They aren't feeling good anymore.

The whole thing was a disaster. The Wizards were unable to penetrate the Jazz' defense and settled for outside jumpers to the tune of 28.7 percent from the field. They were outdone 52-31 on the glass.

The Wizards got their first look at star rookie Donovan Mitchell and he was as-advertised. Mitchell made his first five shots, hitting midrange jumpers and floaters in the lane from all different release angles. He finished with 21 points on 8-for-13 shooting.

Absolutely disgraceful

I'm ashamed to be a fan of this garbage

is this a real score?

Ouch baby. Very ouch

Did they cover the spread?

Whattttt the ****kk was that?!?!?

I think its time to clean house. The guys just dont have there hearts in it

the wizards player's need to stay in the West coast and don't bother to comeback to DC!

What a joke. Their effort in the first half was a disgrace to the city, the uniform and the fans. They should be forced to each hand write an apology to a season ticket holder.

When the Jazz force you to play their brand of basketball, it’s game over. They shorten the game, swing the ball, force you into taking midrange jumpers while they create opportunities in the paint and get open corner threes. That was all on display in the first half as the Jazz put their mark on this game early.

We Suck No Questions Ask

Donovan Mitchell looked like a 5th year player

Got where he wanted when he wanted. Utah attacked Brad in the p/r alot and had tons of success. Its a lot easier to penetrate and dish when the ball is moving and making the defense move. Wish we would try that

Report card:
Frazier – F
Beal – F
Morris – F-
Gortat – F-
Oubre – F
Meeks – F-
Scott – F
McC – F-
Smith – C-
Porter – C
Sato – C
Mahinmi – C

Pretty good recipe for a blowout!
 
Someone thinks Hood is our best player?
He might be our 3rd string shooting guard if Burks keeps it up.
 
Did the jazz ever execute the offense and defense under Jerry Sloan?

What the hell has gotten into this team. It's night and day. If they are going to play offense and defense like this it won't matter who we play. Watching the game last night, I was as giddy as a school girl. There was actual giggling going on on my part. Our offense was 100% synced up with basketball analytics. I've never seen this level of execution on both ends. It's like the Spurs meet the warriors level execution.

Literally all I could do was giggle. It's anaizing to think that this team doesn't miss a step when someone like Hood is out let alone both Hood and Gobert.

I think it needs to be asked... is Quin God?

All I know is that if we play like this the rest of the year, we might lose three more games all year. Are we contenders all of a sudden?
 
I don't quite understand that, but I have read this several times and cannot stop laughing.

I'm guessing they think Rubio looks like some mafia hit man with the hair/beard. Back in the old days if you wanted to get rid of a body you'd throw them into the river with their feet in a bucket of cement, thus guaranteeing they'd sink to the bottom and the body would never be recovered.

As an Italian-American I am barely offended, lol.

As a point of reference, that's how the person that Joe Pesci's character in Goodfellas was based on in real-life was apparently killed - not how it was depicted in the movie.
 
Reading these fan reaction threads makes me realize there are a lot of terribly coached and run teams. Makes Corbin not seem as bad as we thought, as I've noticed these other fans having the same kinds of criticism we had of Corbin.

Ahh, the good old days, when a horses head sent a message. Now we resort to pig farms, crematoriums or wrecking yard smelting to dispose of our enemies. Sometimes I just miss making my enemies sleep with the fishes.
 
I do miss it when teams don't comment on Quin doing coke or killing hookers though.
