Gamethread: OKC Thunder @ Utah Jazz. 7PM MST.

Great to see Favors hitting from mid range with regularity. I personally like that he's trying to extend his range to the three point line, even though he hasn't hit one yet.

Maybe, but those were the best looks OKC was getting. They have very little ball movement.

George was scared to shoot when he got in the paint cuz of our D. Russ just missed hard looks going to the rim. Both of them turned it over a lot too. Melo was their best option. OKC is never going to be a team that runs exotic half-court sets that impress. They live off transition, penetration, and mismatches. Utah took away most of that.

It's a little bit from column A and a little bit from column B. Melo is known for being in love with long ISO twos, and Thunder offense and ball-movement looked like **** the moment they weren't playing the Knicks. This will all end in tears for that team.

The one he shot today looked half decent.

WTF is OKC doing... they adopted the throw it to Melo every damn time offense... Favs did a great job checking him.

Ingles > Curry
Udoh = draymond green + Rudy Gobert

Teams will hate playing us... it manifested itself tonight. Pesky defense... 48 minutes of run protection... running around endless screens.

It's a slow squeeze until the opponent just taps out.

I've noticed on his threes, several times he took one step and shot it. He made a couple that way and looks more confident with that shot than 3's.

Also I thought our offense was supposed to look like crap since we don't have alpha ISO scorers... OKC has three and they look like dog crap.

100% agree but I don't like him taking them when the game is on the line like in Minnesota.

[MENTION=253]Saint Cy of JFC[/MENTION] serious question. How do you find time to post all day and everyday? Must be hard. I wish I had that kind of free time.

Mitchell shooting .222% from the field 3 games in. Next DWade or Tyreke Evans? To me, he looked like a super star until the season started. Dude looks panic'd, forced, lost and undersized in 3 games to me. Good thing there are 79 to go.

 

[Cappy_Smurf]

Think the Jazz should win that game. 3 days rest and Clippers have a weak homecourt. Blake vs Favors will be a key matchup.

I think they may just have a taste for blood after tonight. It would be nice if they got some momentum and went on a nice win streak.

Patience... he's already learned a bit... tonight he was driving and instead of forcing up a contested layup he found guys for dunks.

He needs to see a three pointer go in... when his outside shot starts falling he will calm down.

Also his defense was pretty good tonight. He had Roberson and PG on him... let's let him get some confidence against an inferior opponent and build from there.
