Man I wanted lauri on this team before he got traded to Cleveland thought he was the perfect compliment to gobert smh. Here he is now tho but hey this is fun to watch . The season is long, let’s just enjoy these misfits

Nice call on Laurie! I always liked what I’d seen but hadn’t seen that much! I gotta say though, after watching Mobley and Allen the other night for Cleveland, I think they traded the wrong big.

I finally gave up on Quin when late last season he had that passionate press conference where he argued that the Jazz don't have a problem with blowing leads or failing to close games.

I believe this was directly before they blew a 17 point 4th quarter lead in a loss.

That was a very bad look for Quin.

My favorite was when he said Donovan and Rudy eat lunch together sometimes.

We haven't heard a feral scream after a dunk since Boozer was yelling after every possession. Never change, Vanderbilt.

I like how the ex-Wolves took this game personal!

Man I totally disagree. I have never bet a single penny on basketball. I'm too much of a Jazz homer and betting on the team would have either consumed me and ruined my life, resulting in me not being a fan anymore or I would have become so bitter with losses that I walked away in time and stopped being a fan at all.

I have absolutely avoided sports betting, in particular on basketball, like a plague.

I can't say I've never bet on sports because I have bet on horse racing. When I livid in San Diego I'd go to Del Mar on occasion and bet on horses based on their names mostly but also, I can't remember the name of the jockey, but he was like a tie breaker on who I'd bet on other than Bob Baffert owning the horse or not. Won money on a horse named Futuristic, Jalapeno and a few others that I bet on simply because of their name.

Just dont bet on jazz games.
Pick 4 teams and do a parlay and bet 5 bucks. If you lose you are out 5 bucks. If you win you get like 50 or something. That is what I usually do. Very low risk/high reward.

I kinda started questioning his ideas when he made Rubio defend harden from side on … then the Jazz fell in love with the tear drop runner / 3pt shot , it became boring to watch

Nah, I'm prone to addiction. My dad got addicted to gambling and killed himself after using his work CC to keep gambling. I can't do it right and I'm not taking the chance. Sports betting is 100% off limits for me.

Q was so predictable. It seems like we had a pattern of keeping coaches like that long term. Jerry became predictable, Ty's coaching scheme was on par with midget league, and Quin ran the same coaching scheme for years. Will Hardy is the coach we've been dying to have for YEARS.

Ehh, we got Kirkland brand Gobert now. It'll do. . .

That actually worked though.

The Jazz lost that series because they shot like 20% from 3 for the series. But their defense in Games 3-5 was absolutely lockdown.

Couldn’t have said it any better myself!

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

I dont like KO at all though he had some nice moments. Felt like he almost lost the game by himself at the end of the 4th quarter.

Agree, his defense single handedly helped the wolves send the game to OT

I think Vanderbilt was my favorite player tonight. He lived up to the draymond green comparison except he is also likeable.

His game is more Rodman than Green

Denver that we beat easily first game is on the way to beat GSW..... this season will be strange foe sure....

And Murray didn’t play in this one.

 

[silesian]

I’d rather root for a lower level team who outplays my hopes, than a team with a great roster who always disappoints.

Last season was my worst as a fan of any team every. And I’m 59.

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

Play of the game for me was JC WITH 1min left in OT, drives, meats Gobert, does a 180 in air and does a blind kick out to Conley for a huge wide open three for a 2pt lead. I can’t stress the level of difficulty on that pass. How did he even know Conley was there??

 

[Nate505]

What's wrong with those assholes? Playing well and competing like men. I watch basketball to see these guys lose!

I like this new era of young coaches being able to relate to the athletes of the day. The camaraderie Hardy seems to have with the team has them buying into selflessness, team work, and grit.

And all of his numbers were completely wrong and it was clear he was trying to justify their BS

 

[KqWIN]

I was excited to watch some TWolves basketball this year but they are unbearable to watch. KAT is the most annoying player to watch in the league, I couldn't imagine counting on him to win games for your team. He should be an MVP candidate but no one has ever taught him how to play basketball. He just whines in the most dramatic way possible anytime something goes wrong, and things go wrong so damn often with this TWolves franchise. I was really high on them, but watching that team for 2 games I'm really concerned for them.

Rudy is amazing, but one of the things he couldn't do in UTA was change the culture as a leader. Guys don't really respond to Rudy in the same way even if he's a grinder, it has to be someone else....but they don't have that guy. I think Bev and Vando meant a lot for that team in how they set the tone. Beasley isn't the most amazing player, but he's obviously got that ******* in him and he very much likes to compete.

I think the TWolves might have run into Jimmy Butler 2.0 with this deal. Rudy's attitude is not gonna mesh well.

 

[FrenchJazzFa]

Our team really remind me the Grizz Grin and Grint era.

 

[FrenchJazzFa]

they show an interesting stats as well. Mike is the best 3 point shooter at money time ( 37%) since season 2010-2011, even a bit better than Steph. Not surprising for me i see him doing what he does in OT so many times with the Grizz.
