Game thread: Game #19 : Trail Blazers at Utah, Monday 01/30/2012 7:00 PM MST

This was one of those games where I thought how in the hell did we win? This was a great win - I don't know how we did it with so many guys playing less than awesome. Though I feel we're so much better on defense than we were at the beginning of the season, let alone last year.
 
I was watching the Trailblazers broadcast. One of the announcers there talked about Kanter's future a couple of times. He said Kanter is 275 lbs currently, he said Kanter is a "good one" he can just tell, he said Utah got a good player with that third pick. I couldn't believe it but within like 30 sec of Kanter subbing in he said he thinks Kanter is going to be better then Derrick Favors in the future. He also said stuff like he is huge and strong etc.

I am not 100% sold on either but Derrick Favors doesn't get blocked by guards.

If you rematch the game, these lanes that opened up the slashing through the paint opened up AS A RESULT of the team focusing on shutting down aldridge. When the team found out that Kanter could hold Aldridge onto his own, then everyone else focused on their own assignments, and our defense thrived because of it. The jumpshots towards the end occurred because they spent 12 seconds on the clock trying to give aldridge good post position, and kanter wouldn't have any of it. Go and rematch the 4th quarter. Perfect example was in the 4th, when LMA was fed, and then Kanter swatted it away, but got charged in the foul. That play was run strictly for LMA, and it took Felton (or Jamal, forget who) like 4-5 seconds of waiting until LMA was in a good position to get it, only to have it swatted away.

Also, tell me: who led our team in offensive rebounds?

Kanter and Watson were the two keys to this game. The fact that you haven't complimented Kanter once so far is proof that you're just a garbage poster.

You still do not get it. I was talking about Blazers going into jump shooting mood in 3 quarter when Kanter was not playing - that's when Jazz made the run and cut to 1 point. Reread my posts, I said he played good post defense in 4th quarter - is that not a compliment? Anyway, discussing basketball with you is like talking about colors with daltonic, they still see red where everybody sees green. You think Kanter won the game for us? Fine, believe it... some people still believe Earth is flat.
 
In the post game interview of LA, he was asked about Kanter and Favors defense if it made a difference. LA said "not to be mean but not really" he said he was winded from that run he has and that the Utah Jazz as a whole focused on him more so he just passed it outside since guys were open.
