The Official Week 22 Thread...where we make some noise for the return of Paul George

[Special Agent Utah]

Exum 3 makes from his last 25 attempts..

The struggle is continuing

Bulls vs Knicks is beautiful

and by beautiful I mean beautiful we are beating up a sub 500 team, everyone trying to get their averages early because they know there is a good chance thy sit in the second half

 

[J Shuttlesworth]

Charlotte doing a number on the Hawks, up 15 with 3 minutes left.

Hawks*

*No Teague, Millsap, Horford, Korver, Carroll.

An ok win given the D/OT the night before, but would have preferred to beat the Wizards and not play so shite last night.

 

[God Save Max King]

Gosh I hate Enes Kanter.

[peternorth]

[peternorth]

[J Shuttlesworth]

i dont find kanter offensive at all

I find him better at being offensive than defensive.

All this stuff is more of an indictment on the rest of OKC than Russ.

Looking at you Dion you chubby campaigner.

Also it's Trevor Booker....

Honestly the Knicks should just be sent to the D-League and replaced with Kentucky, absolutely pathetic franchise.

I'm going to laugh my ass off when they don't get pick 1 or 2.

Well I missed the boat then, I don't pay attention to anything out of Salt Lake City, even the Australian NBA Superstar.

Figured it was more Russ got his points/stats but didn't get the W herp derp that's quite popular.

Oh I see he's not an Kanter fan.

To be fair if you come out the day of a game against your old club and question their professionalism you'd best bring your a game

 

[Drumroe]

What's funny is that Jonas Jerebko would probably have been the perfect 'Stretch 4' to play with Drummond, KCP, Jackson and a Small Forward (Justise Winslow or Stanley Johnson?).

While I like Jerebko I dont think he's really an ideal starter on a team long term, good role player though.

On the second part, Im all aboard the Winslow bandwagon, think he could be an awesome fit on the wing with KCP if they both get consistent on their outside shot.

 

[Son of Skeletor]

Andy Larsen: What was the biggest frustration? Enes Kanter: "I will say almost everything. I didn't bring it every night. Almost everything was a frustration. It wasn't just basketball stuff. It was just professionalism. After I see OKC, then I was like, this is how NBA teams are. You know how you're like in a dream, that you have a superpower and you don't want to open your eyes? OKC's been like that for me."

To be fair to Enes, he did cop three years of Ty Corbin.

To be fairer to enes he didn't have ty this season and he was garbage. Perhaps if he spent more time working on his game then talking he'd have done better. Oh it's not professional enough, then man up and make it professional

Brow has monty as a coach and he seems OK

Hayward had the same situation as kanter and has done ok

I know, but any excuse to drop a Ty Corbin joke

The writing was on the wall for Kanter. Utah's defence was trash when he started, and for whatever reason he and Favors didn't seem to complement one another.

Will be interested to see how much money OKC or anyone else throws at him in the off-season.

Lol, just saw that. Checked the box score, thinking he had a big game and "led the way" as they claimed. The two shots they showed him hitting were the only shots he made for the game (2-8 from the field), and he had one rebound, no assists, two turnovers and four fouls, in 19 minutes. Sounds more like the Jazz won despite him TBH.

Defensively the jazz were superb with him on court tho. Think it was a rating of 78 odd or something duly

 

[flight23]

gave them the lead in the third

 

[stewie griffen]

Jazz allowed just a 70.1 Ortg to OKC with Dante Exum on the floor tonight. He was absolutely spectacular on D.
