Pre Game
0-9 in games to get to .500. I’m sick man
Is tonight the night that we finally do that thing that I won't explicitly mention because every time we have an opportunity to do this thing, we fail to do the thing, and I don't want to jinx us?
Delete this bro u Finna jinx us
Don't mention The Thing.
Gosh I sure hope we don't go .500 tonight
(reverse psychology)
See y’all at 2 games under .500 tomorrow
1st Half
Kessler 3 to start, wonderful lmao
today i learned tht is on the jazz
We look like we could use a few days off
0/75 from three it seems
Don't let my gf see this but that Jazz girl with the black clothes was fire, phew.
When did lauri markenan become so jacked? His shoulders are shredded
Utah playing Johnny Cash on a quarter break just feels.. on brand lol
lol we struggling to score against a lineup of Kris’ Dunn/JTA/Fontecchio/Lauri/and some guy I don’t even recognize
That pistachio lad on the Jazz really is good at bricking
These dancers remind me of the 80s aerobic workout tapes
Really dislike Olynyk, he just looks like a goofy surf boy
That Jazz logo at center court is an all-time logo that they never should’ve gotten rid of
What a marvelous finish to the half, 9-0 run! Go on lads
When did Lauri get this explosive!
2nd Half
they're ****ing huge though. that Markkanen-Kessler frontcourt gives me goosebumps
Yeah Kessler gonna be a good Gobert replacement. But their depth doesn’t beat ours. Plus Shai > anyone they have
Hahahaha Shai basically sent THT to the shadow realm, had to foul.
Giddey having a disasterclass of a game lol I can only hope he plays better in the 4th
Bro who downvoted this lol we can admit Giddey is playing badly right now, just have to hope he plays better in the 4th like he usually does
kessler is really good
That settles it. We’re ending the season 40-42 and not reaching .500 one single time.
Jazz pulled off highway robbery for that Gobert trade holy ****
That’s the strategy for trading an All Star away. Get all the picks + young talent you can
They got way more than they should have Gobert is easily exploited.
We knew this before we even knew what kessler was. Worst trade in all sports history thh
Amazing trade for them. Only the TWolves lmao
Pretty amazing they got a guy who could easily be as good as Gobert + all the picks from a dumpster fire organisation like the Wolves for Gobert.
Lauri is ******* bro. So good
Jazz fans must be angry bc of these calls. I sure as hell would be
No answer for Lauri.
They really got Kelly Olynyk, Walker Kessler, and Lauri Markannen on the floor at the same time. How are we supposed to come close to that size lmao
Lauri is for real. Our O has been uuuuuuugly this quarter. Fingers crossed we can pull this out.
Lauri playing like a dirk on PEDs. Wtf
I do not like that Kessler fellow
Size is killing us tonight lol, it really showing that our tallest guy is 6'9" rn
Lauri playing like a dirk on PEDs. Wtf
Or Kessler or Olynyk. This small ball lineup is rightfully being killed by Utah's size
I can’t wait to watch Shai make that little kid in the Clarkson jersey cry with a buzzer beater here
Markkanen is crazy
WTF LAURI IS ON ONE
After a rough to watch first 3 quarters this game is now so ****ing hype. This crowd is legit
Kessler is so good
Lauri Markkanen is going to beat us. Unreal
I knew he was having a good season but he was unstoppable. How did that happen? Lauri looked like Giannis against us in the paint
Not even his best poster of the night, gonna need therapy after this
wow Kessler came up clutch on both ends
Goddam.. Lauri is good as hell
If I had a vote for MIP, it would be for Lauri
This has to be Giddeys worst game of his career right?
I wanna punch walker kessler in the throat
Utah's strategy of leaving us wide open for three has been incredible tonight.
Chet can absolutely guard/neutralize Kessler. People acting like Kessler bangs down low. He’s just tall as ****.
Jordan Clarkson = black Jack Sparrow
Dude is 7’1 with massive wingspan and will probably have put on muscle by then too
Post Game
Spain but remove the S
why would we put out 6”6 kenrich to play center in crunch time while the jazz have 3 6”10 guys on the court?….
They gave it all they had. I hated since the guy was on the 3 pt & got fouled he got 3 free throws (is that legit?) which just happened to put them 1 pt ahead before time ran out . Well thanks ref's.
Still love to watch them play!! What fun!
Such a sad loss. We should of won this one in regulation time.
SGA missing that free throw and then the foul on 3 was a brutal way to lose
Not gonna lie that wasn't a foul on Jordan Clarkson.
I’m fine with losing but losing because we can’t make clutch free throws and then a reckless closeout is just frustrating as hell.
omfg this dude kessler is eating us
They’re blocking everything
Dance cam in salt lake is truly something
That boy Markeden is insane.
The rebounding is going to the super tall Jazz team.
Any time jazz fans are happy. It’s a bad day
Markkanen is gonna be a ****in problem in the league.
He was freakin insane. No idea he had that kind of explosiveness either
This guy didn’t take a leap in improvement, he took a long jump.
One of my favorite thunder games this year. Walker Kessler is a ****ing beast. They traded Rudy gobert for younger Rudy gobert and 4 first.
Without Kessler, the interior is like Swiss cheese
Wild 50+ games and this is our first time seeing Jazz.
We’re really about to lose this ****ing game huh?
The City of OKC needs to make 2/23 Kenrich Williams Day
Was lauri at all like this on the bulls?
I thought he was just a good corner 3pt shooter and not much else. I was wrong
i’m gonna be honest, without looking at social media all game, i feel like the jazz have been screwed over all night with foul calls. if the teams were switched, i’d have the strongest us vs everyone mentality
Have we ever been blocked this many times in a game?
Kessler is something special.
God dammit. An ugly game, goes to OT on the first half of a road back-to-back, and a loss. That’s about as bad as the night could have gone.
The real .500 is the friends we made along the way
Wtf Kessler a beast
Jazz straight up bent the T’Wolves over in that Rudy Gobert trade. Kessler is gonna be way more playable than Gobert in the playoffs plus all those picks unprotected.
That Kessler guy is legit
This almost seems scripted. Our 91% free throw shooter missing a clutch free throw and then a bailout whistle on their last shot.
They need to drug test Lauri Markkanen
And if he passes it ok we need to send UTAH some FRP's for him
Lauri is their SGA no way Utah gives him up unless it's for Chet and Dort, at minimum
We need a Kessler to put next to Chet
lauri is quite impressive
Lauri is playing out of his damn mind tonight
Stupid. Stupid. Stupid *** loss. We need Chet
Most angry I've been about a game all year, ****
.500 isn’t real, .500 can’t hurt you
Jazz had splits of 42/27/85 and we still ****ing lost, this team is so unserious, I don’t care if this season is “house money” being 0-7 in games that make us .500 in the season is horrible
It’s wild because every time they get within one game they ****ing play like dog ****
It’s just a constant cycle of playing well and then completely ******** the bed when it’s game that could make us .500
That Olynyk, Lauri, Kessler lineup killed us. We went small but that 4th quarter showed we still need a wing who can get his shot. I think JDub can eventually be that guy but we need to be able to attack Kelly/Walker ad nauseam when they do that 90’s bs.
Also why even play Josh to close the game when SGA just ISO’s?…. He passed up and open three and I like the drive and floater but if Josh is playing we can’t do hero ball
4th Law of Thermodynamics: In a closed system the OKC Thunder can not have a .500 record
We're the best team in the league when we're 2 games below .500 and the worst team in the league when we're 1 game below .500. Utah did everything they could to give us this game and we refused.
Lauri just broke so many hearts damn, he’s incredible. And how about that crowd, so hype!
Walker Kessler, damn what a monster and he's still a rookie
Quotes from around the league
Kessler is a monster man sheesh
He looks like Todd from breaking bad
Completely outhustled three of them twice. Great ****.
Look away Minnesota fans
walker kessler is absurdly good. you rarely ever see rookie centers as refined as him.
I understand the Kessler hype now wow
Getting solid skilled Center play just transforms a team and opens it up for everyone to play better. I have been very impressed by Kessler every time I watch a Jazz game
That’s skills challenge champion Walker Kessler to you
I can't believe the Jazz managed to just swap Gobert for this guy. He's hitting 3's now too lmao
This guy better get ROY votes. Because he is really ****ing good
Three point specialist Walker Kessler blocks his 7th shot of the game, at the buzzer, to send it to overtime.
Right after hitting the game tying shot on the other end. Walker Kessler is having his best game of the year. Kid is special.
They went from Gobert immediately into Walker. Jazz looks like they hit the jackpot with this guy.
This kid moves so well, he reminds me of young Joakim
To do this on a chasedown without fouling actually requires some ridiculous defensive instincts and timing
Randomly tuned into an awesome game. That Lauri baseline monster jam and tip in next possession was savage.
This was one of the most fun games I’ve seen in a while. Jazz had a mini dunkfest in the second half that was phenomenal
Insane recovery, Joe had him beat and he still got the block
This is what Warriors fans wanted Wiseman's trajectory to be defensively. This guy's rookie year is HOF-trajectory, he'll get there if he develops offensively too. Ainge did it again here for the Gobert haul
Incredible block. Kid is going places.
This kid really is a ****in monster. Rich man's Gobert
That Gobert trade looks worse every day lol. Might go up there with the Big 3 Nets as one of the worst trades in history.
Such a clean block and such a quick lateral speed to shadow Isiah Joe.
GOBERT WHO?
Utah has his new center for a decade.
The baseline dunk was a think of beauty. Even if it was another tomahawk lol
I would die for Lauri Markkanen
I know it hurts but just think that Lauri is a casualty of the grenade that was Boylen to finally blow GarPax the **** out of the FO
The last seconds block by Kessler was clutch too, what a thriller
I honestly think MIP is gonna be the easiest award to pick this season. Lauri has got that **** locked up.
Lauri is a god damn beast.
I swear he is really not that far off prime Dirk level. The guy is a stone cold offensive assassin.
This jazz team is so fun to watch wow
Lauri and Kessler are such a perfect fit as a front court pairing
Lauri for Spida straight up??? You sure bro
Man, the jazz really auto simulated through a whole rebuild. Got a franchise piece in Lauri who can be built around. And all those damn pick for Gobert who got replaced by superior Kessler. I still hate y’all tho.
The double-unsuccessful challenges were hilarious
Hello darkness my old parlay killer friend
Man so much props to the Jazz. Lauri and Kessler are for real.
Bulls
Each time I see Lauri go off this year I can't help but be happy. But also sad because we should've done better by him.
And some of yall telling me Lauri didnt deserve all star? For shame mfs
Rookies with 7+ blocks and 18+ rebounds in a game: Walton, Sampson, Olajuwon, Admiral, Mourning, Shaq, John Henson, and Walker Kessler
This dude just swatted our guards all game. We ****ed around and found out
Imagine giving him up for Rudy.
Jesus Minnesota
Damn. Imagine Kessler with the Memphis scorekeeper
Walker Kessler in the win against OKC: 7 points, 18 rebounds, 7 blocks. The game tying bucket with 4.6 remaining and the game saving block at the end of regulation.
7 blocks sheesh
You guys got your instant Rudy replacement
How long will people realize Kessler is ambidextrous when blocking. He throws both hands up but has insane timing and hand eye coordination to swat down shots with either hand.
I don’t care that he has no shot to win it, he’s my ROTY.
Minnesota really had their own Gobert but didn’t know it I can’t believe it’s gonna go down as one of the worst trades of all time
That's a lot of rebounds and blocks. That boy tall. I have a theory that being freakishly and abnormally tall is a huge benefit in the game of Basketball since the rim is ten feet in the air.
Jazz went from Rudy to Walker. Amazing
Dudes gonna be better than Rudy by next year.
Generational fleecing by the Jazz
