Following the announcement of the schedules for next season of each team, fans were given the chance to mark their calendars for marquee matchups, as well as nationally-televised games they want to watch. Players have also reacted to some of them on their social media accounts, as they themselves highly anticipate some of them.

Newly-acquired Utah Jazz point guard is the latest to share his thoughts about one particular game that's very interesting for him. As fate would have it, their season opener will be against his former team, the Minnesota Timberwolves, inside the Target Center. He made a very simple tweet, using a hashtag that best describes what his first game with the Jazz would be like for him.

The 26-year-old Spanish international was long rumored to get traded since last year, but still finished the season wearing the Wolves' jersey. However, he was sent to the Jazz back in June, in exchange for a future first round pick. The Minneapolis team made a lot of changes to its roster this summer, including the addition of Jeff Teague, which ultimately signaled the end of Rubio's stint with the team.

Now with the Jazz, Rubio will have the opportunity to run the plays for a team that has made it back to the playoffs last season. Although Gordon Hayward has left Salt Lake City, they still have Rudy Gobert, Rodney Hood and Derrick Favors leading their charge. With the addition of the 6-foot-4 floor general to their hold, they may surprise a lot of people if they can continue their winning ways and make another postseason appearance. But it will all start in their first game, where Rubio is expected to play with a lot of purpose, as he wants to prove the T-Wolves wrong about giving him up.
