Does Kanter show Jazz made mistake in these playoffs ......

[homeytennis]

I'm already on the bandwagon (we are a small minority in Jazz-ville). I watched most of his Idaho games this year and think he can be a serviceable backup who can space the floor a bit. I think Lindsay and Snyder covet a shooting 7-footer. The question is how much defense can they get from him and how much strength can he gain so that he is an adequate inside presence. I've heard some rumors about Withey not being back and if this is true this means the team has some belief in Pleiß.

I think he needs to go the summer league and play a lot and play a lot in international competititon over the summer. He was a relatively 2nd round pick when he was drafted so someone saw something in him.

Enes Kanter: "After the game, I looked at the stat sheet and it said I had three blocked shots. I was pretty shocked."

It's pretty funny some people getting excited that Kanter scored what .. 8 points and managed to not get obliterated playing against a pair of 45 year olds and a guy who's known for his playoff disappearing acts. His block was pretty cool to watch but c'mon he stuffed Timmy who has NO legs left and might need a walking frame to get on the court soon. Bit of perspective plz

it's hard to imagine getting less than we got.

The ****in Native Americans got more for Manhattan Island than we did for Kanter.

You really think Kanter would be a 4th big behind Lyles? Mad disrespect there. Utahs mistake was drafting Kanter in the first place. Jazz deepest position was big man and drafting Kanter with Al Jefferson, Paul Milsap, and Derrick Favors already was just not a great idea.



Kanter was the only player last year for OKC to play all 82 games. Favors has missed more time due to injury than Kanter has.

The trainers worked on his lower body throughout and I think it helped, especially in defensive lateral movement.

Wait till we get that draft tho.

He has trained much harder than he ever did in Utah. In Utah the trainers tried to get him to go do sports performance training and P3 stuff but he wanted to do bodybuilding to look good.

Even if Thunder get swept vs the GSW this Thunder team and Kanter have gone against many of your guys predictions. They beat a historically good team in the 67 win Spurs including twice in their home stadium. Time to eat crow. Won't mention any names.

I suspect the tune will change against GSW, I don't think OKC can leave Kanter in to play against GSW small ball. GSW would destroy Kanter on the pnr. True they will give up some points to OKC in the paint, but trading curry's threes for Kanter's twos is a trade GSW will win.

Before Kanter is anointed to be the next Roy Hibbert can we get a little perspective? Timmy is old, LMA is an over rated pick n pop player who doesn't like contact, and David west is an undersized pick n pop who has a giant heart, but not the length to match, and Buubleboy is still developing.

If anyone deserves credit it should be the OKC coach for recognizing the Spurs weakness and making the adjustment.

Imagine Gobert with Kanter's hands....

Still a historically good team and one of the best defensive teams of all time. Tim Duncan has a 5+ DRPM which is is the stat many of you guys use to say Kanter is unplayable. Even if the bigmen for Spurs are as bad as you say they are they are still a 67 win team. When is the last time the Utah Jazz had a 67 win season? If beating the spurs is not as large of an accomplishment as your making it out to be why didn't I see you making any predictions that OKC would beat the spurs before the game?
