Heated game tonight.

Thought Trey responded well to the Kanter comments andwspois in the pos game interview. Trey said the Jazz needed a real center at the draft, which most took as a slight on Enes, and Enes said he never had a real PG before Westbrook.

The Jazz can act salty about the comments, but when it comes down to it Enes has helped out our PR department. Very few of us will be saying we shouldn't have traded him now. The marketing department should also be pleased that we have a legit division rival again now.

This is my guess for next season and so on:
NOONE will offer Kanter what he thinks he is "worth". He will sign a qualifying offer, and him KD, and Westbrook will put together a mediocre, injury filled, season. KD will then leave and sign with the Wizards. OKC will act reactionary and max out Kanter as their future team with Westbrook and Enes. They will then enjoy several years of lottery picks and frustrated Kanter interviews.

The OKC/UT rivalry will be short lived, and in history books it will hardly be considered a rivalry at all. Kanter will get his stats, and come away with the "L" for years to come as future Jazz legends have foreshadowed.

Omg. My feed cut off. That is crazy. I didn't know the Jazz players hated Kanter as much as the fans did too.

which kind of vindicates Kanter in a way, right?

1. Trey's comments at the draft.
2. Hayward and RJ being close, then RJ siding with Corbin and calling Enes out in the media.
3. Trey's mom's comments last season on twitter.
4. Hayward's blog post kanter trade.
5. Many saw plays on breaks and in half court where Hayward and Trey would seem to purposefully not pass to him even when it would be the correct play.

Everyone needs a scapegoat, and Corbin designated Kanter last season, then the media, fans and teammates followed suit.

Now Enes is playing the douchey villain.


This is al actually pretty pathetic from both sides. Kanter acting like an immature kid making it all about him, and then everyone feeding into it (myself included).
 
Hot Rod, though...


Kind of took a backseat tonight, and that's ****ed up.

I know we won and all, but still... it seemed tainted. Wish the commemoration happened on a different night.

Well MY mom thinks that you're a cotton headed ninny-muggins! I hope my moms comments dig deep, and you feel vindicated in some way in the future.

I like that insult because it was somewhat unique.




I just meant that parents don't usually call out your teammates unless you are badmouthing them to your parents in the first place.

I wasn't at the game tonight (which I fully regret) so I don't know how the vibe of the arena was. However, watching from home I have to disagree with you. These emotional, close, intense games were the games that he was so passionate about. I think it played out about as well as you could really hope for as a Jazz fan.

I agree, but nevertheless I fully appreciated Hot Rod tipping that first Gobert FT back in.

Yeah, he definitelywas about those games, but to me it jut seemed like this was the Kanter show. It seeme more WWF than real.

I get what you mean in that regard. I'm just glad that we didn't lose, or it wasn't a one sided game, and that it was actually a close game. One thing that makes me happy is the players will be wearing that ribbon on their jersey's for the rest of the season to honor Hot Rod. I'm sure we will see more tributes to him this season, and forever. I'm just glad that when I see his name retired in the rafters, that I can tell me kids that I knew who he was. That I experienced the golden era of basketball with him as the voice of the Jazz.
