PrintMinnesota Timberwolves at Utah Jazz, Jan 21, 2012 7:00 PM MST
The Minnesota Timberwolves will tip off against our Utah Jazz just hours after a fantastic finish (and road win) against the Los Angeles Clippers. A lot of their best players made big plays when they counted the most. Rubio had a key jumper, shooting without any hesitation despite missing every jump shot he took that night. And Kevin Love drained a game winning three with no time left on the clock. On the flip side the Jazz lost their second game all season at home, to the Dallas Mavericks, by a three point margin. The Jazz are upset and looking to get back to their winning ways; while the Wolves are hungry to continue their current streak.
.
Sight Reading:
These are two pretty equal teams on paper. Of course, the paper also shows the Jazz having a better record, and the Wolves having a way more experienced Head Coach in Rick Adelman. I forgot to adjust the ranks for point differential, so right now they are the wrong ranks, but everything else looks in place. Minnesota crashes their offensive glass, and also take (and make) the 6th most threes, and get to the line the fifth most in the entire NBA. The Jazz continue to try to own the paint, being great at stopping the other team from getting boards (they are also Top 5 in opponents offensive rebounds), blocking shots, and holding onto the ball. Utah will play a control game; while the Rubio led Timberwolves will attempt to be a bit more free-flowing at times (what they can get away with, from Adelman, I guess).
.
Much more info after the jump!
Recapitulation:
These teams haven’t played each other yet this season, and last season, well, the Wolves always give us trouble.
.
The Beats and the Rests:
The T-Wolves have an advantage over us in most places. Kevin Love is having a great season, but not as Efficient as Paul Millsap (really, who is?). By the same token, how many guys is Gordon Hayward playing better than this season? Man . . .
Michael Beasley and Josh Howard will both be out, again; so we’re going to get to see more of Anthony Randolph (hopefully), and smoking hot C.J. Miles. Also Luke Ridnour may start because I have no clue what the T-Wolves are doing there . . . I am matching him up against Earl Watson in this graphic.
.
Soloists:
Kevin Love and Al Jefferson, former team mates, not fighting one another for a potential All-Star Spot; tonight the light shines on them brightest.
.
The Remix:
Man, remember when we used to punish the Timberwolves with a great power forward / point guard combo? I guess the shoe is on the other foot now . . .
.
Liner Notes:
- Utah will be without Josh Howard
- A lot of Jazz players got poorer due to NBA fines over their technical fouls
- Devin Harris and Jamaal Tinsley are both questionable
- Minnesota will be without J.J. Barea, Michael Beasley, Malcolm Lee, Brad Miller, and Martell Webster
- That doesn't mean they'll be easy to beat though

kinda interested to see rubio play, he’s averaging around 10 assists already i think. seems to actually have been a wolves pick that was right
i'd trade one of our 4 bigs for rubio . . .

agreed to a point
Kahn has no need to trade rubio away. they have a young core, and K-Love is going to get paid, and stay where he is. rubio isn’t going anywhere for at least 6 more years.

That said, this is another team having played in LA the previous night. Jazz need to win this game.
utah needs to run early
they played last night. we did not. we have yet to try to use this ‘advantage’ thing that every other team uses against us.

But it makes the game kind of boring.

so simple, and thats not even taking into account how big he is

Earllllllll
But in all honesty Hayward needs to at least look at the rim..
Man, Earl playing hard...
tipping my hat to him
Earl pushes the ball so well
Funny that he’s the ‘old backup’ and Harris is the ‘fastest pg in the league’

Harris needs to just attack the basket, nice
Think he got fouled on the turn, and then threw it up

He's been looking decent lately
Thank the basketball gods, because I do love me some Raja. Such a great dude, but man he is a huge liability when he’s off. Hopefully he’s ‘back’.

Gets to the hole. Seems to be out of control at times.. hasn’t gotten a ton of time, but some good minutes thus far.

His main problem is just rookie mistakes. He has huge potential

For what it's worth
I like the five. The reason is there are always 2-3 guys who made the obvious contributions. But if you go to five, you get to include some guys who made a difference, but in not so obvious ways. The Shane Battiers of the team.
And it a way, that’s a lot like a Jazz quintet. Everyone pays most attention to the two soloists. The bass, piano, and drums get ignored—but they’re the guys holding it all together. Without them the soloists couldn’t do their thing.
For tonight’s game, it could be something like this: Millsap got 26 points, but Hayward assisted 5 of his shots. That’s right—for 10 of his points Millsap can give Hayward a big thank you card. (For the record, I don’t know if this is true. I’d have to go and look at the play-by-play or rewatch the game on Synergy — but you get the idea).
