Rudy is out, everyone else is in. Markkanen, Collins, and Clarkson are out for the Jazz.

Still a trap game. But Collins missing will help. He is a great rebounder. Naz can match with Kessler. Hope Jaden will play better than recently. We need all starters to perform tonight. Go Wolves.

Garza is a freaking bum. Dude is not an nba player

Warren and Garza unable to make a shot while being liabilities on defense. I'd give Minott and Miller a shot to see if they can contribute anything.

Rather have Warren. Garza has not proven anything

Warren has been truly awful in his Wolves minutes. Maybe he can get back to being a useful player, but he is nowhere close to that right now.

The Wolves should have been giving the deep bench and Iowa guys some minutes instead of chasing the top seed.

I have zero clue why you guys think Garza is an nba level player

Tough game as expected. Hope ANT can come back or it may turn on the wrong direction. JAden stupid fouls doest not help, SLomo offense hurt. Lucky ANT, Naz and Mike keep us there.

TJ Warren looks good out there but doesn't score. Time to look elsewhere I'm thinking.

Yep. You're right. I was hoping for better but the guy can't put it in the basket.

Mike turning into PO mode. We need that definitly.

Jaden’s shooting is becoming a problem. Having him becoming a non-shooter is a killer. I don’t know exactly what he’s been shooting for the past two months, but it can’t be more than 25% from 3, and that’s wide open shots

I thought this was the type of game that Luka Garza could compete in, since Utah is playing a lot of G-League quality players.

He belongs in the g league as well. Gotta stop overrating the guy

What? What part of my sentence makes you think I’m over-rating him?

Utah is playing several G-League players last night and tonight, and Garza has been a big star in G-League dominating those players. Down there, the fact that he has been learning pro-NBA moves since age 6 makes him too much for dumb athletes. But in the NBA, his smarts don’t make up for better athletes with more experience, and he can’t compete.

Great story, good guy, and I’d love to see him succeed, but his lack of NBA athleticism dooms him.
