Can someone tell me what happened to Kanter's production in the second half? I missed it (although I didn't miss much I guess). It appears he hardly got any minutes and possibly even fewer possessions. Somehow.

they didnt pass him the ball,thats what happened

Now I didn't watch the game, but I'm guessing its because Turkey took a three point shot with every possession.

It was insane. The first quarter Kanter got 3 quick post ups. The 2nd quarter rolls along and he isn't really getting the ball in scoring position, but still getting touches. 3rd quarter he hardly even touches the ball. Then the 4th quarter coaching blunder happens. Turkey puts out its 5 starters to start the 4th quarter. I'm pretty sure they subbed no one out either the entire 4th until about 3 or 4 minutes left, when they put Predzic in for Turk. Then 1 minute to go they put Kanter in.

Turkeys box score.

2 point FG : 23/39 or 59%

3 point FG: 3/18 or 17%

Jerry Sloan would be irate.

wow, i'm pretty sure most coaches would be really angry with a 3/18 performance from 3

So who won? and how did Kanter do?

LT won 75-68. Kanter 5pts, 3reb, 1stl. 2-4fg, 1-2ft.

I turned off the game after the third period. I couldn't watch Turkey's guards completely ignore their bigs especially Enes. They were winning the game taking the ball to the hoop and then they started chunking up 3 pts. and they were done. I would hate to play on a team like Turkey because they don't play team ball.

Preldzic is a hell of a player, and it's a great testament to his competitiveness that he wanted the ball in his hands at the end of a close game and was willing to do all he could to make something happen. He messed up to end the game, but kudos for having the balls.

i would sign under it

Why the hell is there no Jonas? I am irate over here.

Hanging on his teet by a thin thread?

 

[Gyp Rosetti]

Two things I learned from this thread.

1) Cyrone's likely unemployed.
2) He's probably a virgin.

Jonas sighting. Wearing a team jacket on the bench.

God, I hope you weren't out of lotion.
