Not watching if AD doesn’t play. We will get slaughtered.


line opened at Utah -12.5 and moved to -2.5 overnight so AD is back


This is such a huge game. Let's take care of business boys


Up at halftime, good work to the guys. Not sure why but I really don't like Gobert.


moore's defense on ingles makes me wonder how e'twaun is still in this league


So apparently Utah can just walk all they want lol


utah 11 offensive rebs in 15 min lol


the lack of defense on rubio is disheartening


3rd foul on Favors in 6 min
clip_image001.gif
That is going to be YUGE for us


Utah is a better team, and they have an easy schedule. Sucks


Joe “Mr. YMCA” Ingles


Bad energy from most of Utah. AD has blocked them into submission.


Rubio you’re not that good. Stop trying to be good


Neto always is an mvp sleeper against us last time utah was here, neto had 8 points on 3 shots. so far he has 6 points on 3 shots. this guy averages 4.6 points per game for the season


Pisses me off the Jazz are in Utah


How many scrambles and offensive rebounds will we give up?


Rubio looks like he could find you a human kidney within 12 hours.


Rondo making Rubio look like an all-star.


No need to call a time out Gentry, to talk about how to slow down Mitchell? Guy just shredding the defense, 12 straight points.


That finish by Mitchell was ridiculous.


If Mitchell gets breathed on he gets a call. Jrue could get stabbed and we'd get radio silence


this is such a bad loss. can't really put it into words


The Jazz are a terrible matchup for us


Are you kidding me!!!!! Foul foul foul foul oh the other team naaaaaah they don't need any the jazz play perfect d don't we all know that


I would not be upset if Rondo isn’t re-signed. Rubio is eating his lunch right now.


wtf was that layup holy hell that was impressive


I was looking at the box score (google front page) when the Jazz was down. "Oh no.. Jazz is down. Rubio is doing the scoring load?> Mitchell only has 2 points????" Refresh screen after bathroom break. "Jazz are up?? yeay!!! Mitchell at double digit points????" this kid, man


Utah is always a mental bad matchup for the Pels


This loss has been the most crushing of the season for me. At home, ADs birthday, against one of the teams we're fighting for playoff position, and AD has a monster game, and we lose by double digits because the refs decided it would be fun if we did.


Donovan Mitchell is just a bigger Damian Lillard? Oh goody...


He should of called a time out when Mitchell was killing it. Instead he sat on the bench with his **** in his hand. He did nothing to stop the momentum. The free throw disparity was a joke also.

good lord Mitchell


Mitchell killed us that quarter after we started off well. Only a 4 point game, let's get to work


THis is some bull *****. fricking Mitchell is working this whole team


it's utah...they play good defense. you can't come back against them


How do they go perfect from the line in the same game we keep having good shots rim out


Losing this game because we are making ****** Rubio look like an All-Star.


Gotta love Quin Snyder, he kinda reminds me of Eric Spoelstra being able to keep an average looking team in the playoff race.


wtf is the west? clippers beat the cavs, wolves beat the warriors? SOMEBODY ****ING LOSE


15 straight in like 3 minutes of game time, when he was struggling terribly the entire game before that. Kid is special.


Love the way AD just looks at him like "damn"


sDonovan Mitchell just keeps impressing. I love this kid!


I don’t get it sometimes. There’s no way professional refs can be this bad over 48 minutes. There has to be axes to grind or egos involved.


Spurs have lost 10 of their past 13 and still in it. We're the anti-Jazz lmao

Wait everyone talking about Donovan but Rubio ****ing balled the living **** out of this b-ball match

Never thought I would see pretty Ricky score 30


Allowing Rubio to have this game is an embarassment.


At least score one more point to get those poor people a free ****** fry


As soon as Rubio hit that 3 there was like an entire row of fans that got up and left lol.


I am first half Donovan Mitchell and I have cable. I am second half Donovan Mitchell and I run the world.


Really disappointed to learn that "triple-double no assists" isn't actually a winning basketball strategy


Crowder was 1/11 but still had a +22. Wild


scored 25 in the 2nd half. definitely a ROYesque performance


Rubio couldn’t be stopped wtf who told me he was the worst shooter in the NBA

we just have a hard time defending teams that run pick n roll with good big men and a decent PG....rubio ran the pick n roll until the wheels fell off...


Just a bad matchup. Smart well coached team versus a dumb team.


Rubio looks like he only wears jumpsuits and belongs to a Bulgarian gang.


i dont love the strategy of just not guarding ingles today


FT disparity, shots wouldn't fall, Mitchell's spark. The 2nd half was just terrible.


that was insane. He had 2 at half, looked like the jazz were flat, finished, and done. Then Mitchell in the 3rd quarter goes ABSOLUTELY ****ING OFFFFFFFFFF


That last three he took made me recoil in my seat.

Goebert is king of the illegal screen


How does Gobert never get fouls for his ridiculous screens he sets?


Pelicans the only team ever with a home court disadvantage lets make it 3 L's in a row on Tuesday


Ummmm yeah they coming back down to earth a bit. Not going to beat many teams being outrebounded by nearly 20.


Joe Ingles lighting us up early sheesh.


If we win, we get the Jazz name back. If Utah wins, they can change their name to the Mormons.


Is it me or does Rubio embarass rondo every game?


Good news: no way Rubio keeps this up. Bad news: hard to believe Donovan and gobert dont get at least a little bit better


damn man donovan mitchell eatin us up


D. Mitch is a beast. Jrue is still an amazing defender. Props to Donovan though because nobody puts holiday on skates like that.


**** DUDE. No lie Mitchell went super saiyan.


I retract the retraction of my previous statement. Donovan Mitchell with 15 points in 5 minutes jesus


We do not have the tools to stop rubio and mitchell. It's just not there.


Well, I officially hate Rubio. They're giving this dude calls like he's a superstar.


I officially hate Rubio

· Flopping POS

· Only douchebags have man buns

· He looks like he is a back up singer in a ****** emo cover band.

· He has a very punchable face



What a goddamn flop stupid mother ****ers


Mitchell is owning Jrue wtf is he doing on defense


Dude is really good. Hard to keep him quiet the whole game


Rubio the Oscars were last week. He is Spanish. Got that football drama **** in his veins.


If I see one more Rubio easy layup I'm gonna lose my ****


Think we are seeing how missing boogie can badly affect us. The high paced offense looked nice in the win streak but good teams that can control the pace make it difficult for us to score


We need Boogie. We ****ing need Boogie.


Jrue was in the game too long and was winded, that's why Mitchell was able to blow by him a couple of times.


AD looked absolutely pissed


AD gets 10 blocks and they still got a **** ton of easy layups at the rim. Just shows that everyone else needs to step up on D. They were running a pick and roll and scoring literally every time

The offensive of juggernaut that is Rubio could not be stopped.

Lol how you win 10 straight and then start playing like a team who looks like they won't make the playoffs? Get it togetherrrrrr.

Quinn Synder looks like a villain from a corrupt business man movie

Letting the Jazz score this much is a joke

Gilbert is moving and sticking out his hip every goddamn pick.

THIS IS INSANE. Feels like the actual rims of the goals are ****ing us.

Lmao when you lose to the Jazz because Ricky Rubio dropped 30 on your head.

Yet another team we lose the tie breaker too. If we don't go on another streak we could be the 7 or 8 seed with all these lost tie breakers.

Portland, Minnesota, Denver, and now Utah.

This one hurts, but **** it. That has to be one of the best games the Jazz have played all season.

Just handed this one away in the second half with terrible defense. Rubio flopped like a bitch a lot but he still got way more easy shots than anyone should ever get.


Rubio is a douche. Im understanding more and more why jeff Teague kinda bulldozed him like a week or two ago
 
Should probably not scrounge up the Reddit game and post game threads. More posts from fans not affiliated with the Pelicans and you even posted some Jazz fan posts.


wtf is the west? clippers beat the cavs, wolves beat the warriors? SOMEBODY ****ING LOSE

I remember this being a post by a Jazz fan.

EDIT: Like, seriously, this is from a thread created by RGiss, a guy that used to post here and the actual poster has a Jazz symbol. Won't post link 'cause they don't censor out language there.

I was looking at the box score (google front page) when the Jazz was down. "Oh no.. Jazz is down. Rubio is doing the scoring load?> Mitchell only has 2 points????" Refresh screen after bathroom break. "Jazz are up?? yeay!!! Mitchell at double digit points????" this kid, man

This is obviously a Jazz fan post.

Very important stuff @Darkwing Duck.

It isn't. And I appreciate all the work that JazzAvenues puts in. But there is no need to keep expanding the features on these threads. Better keep it to opposing fan threads. Maybe a separate section at the end with a few quotes from general NBA fans.
 
While we are complaining, I would prefer that JazzAvenues break down how long each poster has been a fan of the opposing team. A post from a lifelong salty fan just means so much more vs. a fair weather fan. Come to think of it, many lifelong New Orleans fans are Jazz fans. So make sure we get that broken down too.

Or better yet, if you don't like his threads, take a few minutes to read the opponent team boards.

Why do people hate man buns so much? When you got long hair, it's kind of necessary to tie it up when doing athletic activities.

And Gobert is the king of the illegal screen.

He is, for sure. I just wonder why he gets away with it? I think he knows the rule VERY VERY well and he knows how to ride that line and the refs know he knows where the line is and that he's good either way so they give him the benefit of the doubt.

But it is a constant criticism of opposing teams fans. I see it too. He's moving some of the time, and that's a foul on him. But I think he is very technical in his actions and he sends the right signals to the officials. He's doing "legal" screen actions while sometimes barely getting into "illegal" screen territory.

John and Karl were masters at this type of ****. Very good at knowing where the line was, very good at riding it, very good at making the officials make a judgement call that 90% of the time would go in their favor.
