The wolves haven't had a major injury all year The only real injury they have had is the Rubio injury, which was short lived. Just some context for their current record.

Delete that Gobert block from the internet, nobody needs to see that ever again.

We just confirmed that Derrick Favors can dunk over Bjelica.

stupid sexy Hayward. everyone on our team for Hayward

Joe Ingles looks like a 45 year old man

Whoa Joe Johnson is on the Jazz?

here, let me throw this 90mph fast ball directly into the backboard from 11 feet

I wish we had Trey Lyles... Damn, that Kentucky team had some players

Rudy Gobert might be good at the shot blocking thing.

Favors hitting SHOTS right now.

Ricky just threw the ball to adriean Payne. Who is on the bench. And not playing

The frenchy got his 3rd foul. Nice.

I'm not even impressed at this point. We got to the fourth and all I could think of was how exactly we were gonna blow this one tonight.

We've had a lot of bad losses this year and I've been positive for the most part, but this one really got to me. We are the most frustrating team in the league and it isn't even close.

I'm starting to honestly think the NBA is rigged so every team can have miraculous exciting comebacks against us.

Nine point lead with three and a half minutes left and I am not even slightly surprised tbh

Every game I tell myself that's it; I'm not watching any more. BUT THIS TIME I MEAN IT

Forgot we had a game tonight and my life is better because of it. Happy to not watch us lose in miraculous fashion again.

There is no one left except the diehards. All the band wagons fans are long gone. Now it's just us and the cold.

Nice to see the timberwolves piss another game away. Being a young team shouldn't excuse them from making the same mistakes every game down the stretch. This is ridiculous.

Our offense was clicking with ball movement in the last 3 quarters and 9 mins? BETTER RUN ME SOME ISO!

Up by 11 going into the 4th? What could go wrong?

How much does Hill get in the market? 17-18 per?

I appreciate our efforts to lose close games.

Would you say we have....lead poisoning

Gobert game winner. Fantastic.

OMG if your gonna shoot a contested shot then make it a 3 Zach

does wggins have all the head coaches nudes or something? time after time we run the same action that works 10% of the time.

The last few games really offered the complete Timberwolves experience, I wonder how many people that jumped on the hype train jumped off already

Being a Wolves fan is like constantly edging during sex with the payoff being a stomp on your nuts.

Why are you guys surprised? This literally happens on a daily basis.

We're now 0-10 in games decided by 4 points or less

I love this team, but god damn do I hate this team.

How about we scored 1 effing point in the last 4:41 of the game. Hard to believe, but true. Have we hit bottom??

I was eating dinner & I saw the Wolves were up 11 to end the third. I said "Gonna blow the lead & lose" and kept eating. Checked twitter & saw they lost by 2. LMAO

id kill someone to get gobert on this team

You would think this kind of thing would literally be impossible over the course of an NBA season but with this team, after all these years, you realize ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!

I don't even know what to say anymore... It honestly looked like we had it in the bag with how well we were clicking on offense... I literally went to the bathroom with 5 min left on the clock. Up 9. came back with 12 seconds left and we're down 2!?!
Yeah idk guys... We have this awesome trio that I'm super excited for but honestly WHAT IN THE WORLD IS HAPPENING WITH THIS TEAM

We are unbelievably good at choking leads away. Like WTF how is this possible? It's crazy to not execute game after game.

A nine point lead with three minutes left is not enough for the Wolves, who find a way to lose another one.

The Timberwolves once again show they are savants of losing. They lose exquisitely. Brilliantly. When it seems an impossible task, they find a way.

They cleverly decided to stop guarding Derrick Favors because reasons. Ricky Rubio brilliantly committed his only two turnovers of the game during the final stretch. Andrew Wiggins and Gorgui Dieng missed mid-range jumpers, Karl-Anthony Towns allowed Rudy Gobert to get inside for the go-ahead tip-in (subtle!), and Zach LaVine held the ball until the buzzer down two before clanking a contested shot. It takes a village.
The problem throughout was turnovers. In addition to Rubio’s late two already mentioned, Wiggins had five, most of the live ball variety that resulted in easy points for the Jazz. This would, as we envisioned, bring this loss to fruition, as they needed every one of them to choreograph the enchanting ballet of failure they performed in the final three minutes.

No wonder Jazz fans choose to make fun of our team. Things will never turn around for the Wolves.
 
I'm struck by how similar many of those comments to Jazzfanz a year or two (or three?) ago. Good young team = lose a lot of close ones, I guess.

Been there done that.:o
 
These are my favorites. . .

• Ingles>>wiggins in terms of team production and BBIQ

• id kill someone to get gobert on this team

• Start with the head coach.

• I was watching with my wife and when we were up by 9 with 3:30 to go she wanted to switch it to something else since she thought it was pretty much over by then. I said it is far from over and that we would end up losing by 3. I was wrong and right.

Dark dark times in Minn.

Opponents tears always taste delicious....

Minnnestoa fans, i'm sure, as a whole are still rather exasperated at how injuries just checkmated the Vikings season, they went from the last undefeated team standing to missing the playoffs.. Obviously looking to the Wolves for relief isn't helping much.
 
Its funny to me there's no comments about "Why isn't LaVine getting these late shots?" Jazz couldn't guard him at all and Thibs let our defenders off the hook in crunchtime IMO.


Thibs must've not seen this..

Make no mistake the Wolves are coming though. I thought we looked outclassed athletically. Their -1.8 point differential tells me they would easily be a .500 team with a couple vets on the bench.
 
No surprise to me. Everyone anointed them in the off-season and I found it laughable. Like the Kings, the Wolves are a perennial loser and no matter how much talent they have, they will find winning in a hyper competitive west brutally tough. They need to not only hone their raw skills, but develop chemistry, find their roles, and learn how to actually win.
 
I love that opposing fan bases can't decide what to think about Jingles. Dude looks like he should be playing church ball, but he's so savvy. I really hope the Jazz keep him after this season. Perfect glue guy.
 
I know rep is kind of dead these days, but JazzAvenues deserves some rep power. Love these threads after wins. Definitely a fun part of the boards. Let's show him some love.

Haha.. aww man.. this got me good... LOL..
 
Haha... aww man I just hurt my stomach laughing so hard... so many funny comments. Must sux real bad to be a T'Wolves team. I feel for their fanbase.
 
Have read many of these opposing teams' comments this year. I think T'Wolves fans are so far the most likeable fans. They're not afraid to laugh at themselves. That's a good quality to have.
