This actually seems like it will be a big game out of nowhere. Utah destroyed the Denver Nuggets the other night and they are coming into this game with a lot of energy and hype. The former wolves will be looking to make a big statement. Don't be shocked to Vando or Beasley go HAM.

I think we have to bring much better rebounding tonight. This could be a loss if we don't come prepared. Can't have KAT and ANT with poor games again, either.

As a Jazz fan, I want to see an absolute bloodbath. Gobert puts up record numbers of something like 30 points, 25 rebounds and 13 blocks.

I want to see the Wolves crush the spirit of these jazz in such a way they never recover for the rest of the season. Meanwhile, Minnesota sets a tone that they ride all the way to a championship.

Go Wolves!!!

It's easy to assume Vanderbilt will get the Towns assignment. He might at times, but I bet he's put on Edwards most of the time.

Gobert won't have to float to the perimeter as often tonight guarding Vanderbilt either.

If Rudy gets their bigs in foul trouble we could finally see the markee. Rudy vs Kessler. The present vs the future. A knockdown drag out paint battle to settle the deepest question for the ages, “was giving up the Star Wars lineup worth it?”

Ironic if he did that while wearing a “Statement Jersey.”

Walker Kessler is the only player in NBA history to record a double-double while shooting 100 percent from the floor in their rookie debut.

I've got a bad feeling about this one. The Wolves have all the pressure to win and revenge games are a real thing.

Jazz 118
Wolves 115

I'd like to eat crow tomorrow so get it done, gentlemen!

I am very excited about this game. According to me Jazz come here to win and impress after have beaten DEN. We should show how tough we are!

Jazz beating us is ideal for them. While it hurts their tank for VW slightly, it improves our pick going to them slightly. But, I still like how we match up with them. They have no big who is strong enough to contain Rudy. Outside of Vando they lack shut down defenders. Sexton is a borderline star, (is he even starting tonight,) and they have no other go to offensive players. We match up very well on paper. Finally, Denver falling down doesn’t make Utah taller or us shorter. Any team on any given night can **** the bed. For example. OKC beat Denver late last season without most of their starters when Denver was only a game or two ahead of the play in tournament. Utah might be slightly more enthusiastic than normal, but so should we be. We need to wash the awful taste of the opening 3rd quarter out. There is nothing better for that than feasting on bunny soup.

It’s absolutely insane being on the non tank side of games 2 games into the season.


Have fun. The process sucks ass

The only confusion would be how ugly those jersey's are and the temporary blindness they cause.


Anyway, good luck tonight. Jazz need their draft pick to be good, so feel free to win please.

Replace the images with Wolves highlights, and modify the rap to include Wolves all time great plays. Works for me.
