Game #13 Oklahoma City Thunder at Utah Jazz Monday 23 Nov 2015 @ 7:00pm Mtn (Early bird GT)

Ibaka is shooting under 46% for the season so far. At some point you need to let him shoot the long 2, because he isn't near as accurate over the last couple of years as he used to be. . .

He is shooting %39 from three and %42 from 16<3pt. I doubt letting him open is a good option.

It is from 16<3pt when you consider the Thunder score 1.101 points per possession. An Ibaka long 2 based on his percentage is worth 0.84 points.

An Ibaka long two is almost a guaranteed Jazz rebound on the miss, something that a Westbrook drive to the hoop isn't.
 
Hayward needs to hedge there, really weak attempt. Something he has improved on drastically.

So we can leave Mo Williams to guard Kevin Durant?

Basically impossible play to defend if you have Jefferson/Millsap patrolling the paint.
 
How bad did I say it was? I just said it was soft (which is bad, but I'm not saying he is the absolute worst). He has a habit of getting killed on screens. It has gotten a lot better.

That's coz he likes contacts on both ends, if you know what I mean.

To stop the drive, yes. Nobody in the NBA stopping that shot once Westbrook takes off like that.
 
I like our chances and the way we matchup with the thunder if durant is out.

If durant is playing then everything changes.

Anyone know if he is playing or not?

From ESPN:

"Durant hasn't been ruled out entirely for Monday night's game against the Jazz in Utah..."

But goes on to say that his return will be this week.

What is then PPP for OKC's half court offense? I couldn't find the stat.
 
Kanter btw was a pretty good defender this last game compared to his past. I expect nothing less against the Jazz from him.
