Ha, that's awesome. I didn't even notice that in the game. This is why you need crafty vets on the team. For all his faults, and he isn't perfect, JJ fueled this comeback and kept the team from giving it away. I like how he pulled Derrick into the huddle during one of Adelman's last timeouts, too, telling him to pay attention. Good leadership.

Neither did I. That must be what Jazz fans were saying deserved a technical.

It's so great to see our Wolves growing up right in front of our eyes. No way do we win this game last year. We've lost so many close games over the past couple of seasons it's great to see us start to win these types of games.
It's also a good sign that other guys pick up the slack with Love and Rubio have a rare off night.

What would be even better would be to see our Wolves come out stronger at the beginning of each game and not have to scratch and claw our way back so many times. Almost seems like we have to be down double digits before we get going.

Anyway, stoked as hell about this great win. What a way to go into the break!!! Our guys (Love and Rubio especially) need to rest and get ready for a tough schedule in the second half of the season.

11th win after trailing at halftime. I believe that's 2 or 3 more wins than the team with the 2nd-most wins after a halftime deficit.

I think part of why we get in such a deep hole early is that the opponents try so hard to attack Ridnour at SG. Sure it gets them an early lead, but once that doesn't work, you're in the 2nd quarter and haven't gotten into your normal offensive sets. Hayward is not Utah's #1 option, neither is World Peace for the Lakers. So by attacking our weakness, it gets them out of the flow of what they normally want to do.

It was pure mind games...And there is no way the refs give JJ the technical for this - so late in the game. Either Jazz fans know this or they started watching NBA yesterday.

Thanks for that last video, mate. Curious fact, that man is from Puerto Rico or Mexico, that's how their accent is.

I'll give you, just for the record, a link to a José Calderón's video, because he speaks spanish well-pronounced and pure, like written.

Personally I didn't like the bump by Barea at the free throw line. I think it shows a lack of sportmanship. Just my opinion.

you kidding me? ... that was awesome. Personally, it's the play of the year in my book - been a long time since we've had a T'Wolf with the balls to walk that line. I also like the way JJB got on DW a few times in this game. Could be a turning-point for the Rookie.
