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

Possibly, maybe, kinda.

Just to give some context for our American friends: Ferg did play in the NBL, for the Adelaide 36ers, Ingles' home-town team. Adelaide also has a rivalry with Melbourne, which goes across all sporting codes. When Melbourne played OKC in the pre-season, Ferguson stated "I hate Melbourne, I'm an Adelaide boy for life!" which the local marketing people picked up on.

However, when Jingles played in the NBL, he played for a now-defunct Melbourne team, and his wife is also from Melbourne. Maybe he was talking Melbourne smack to the "Adelaide boy"? It would be odd for an Adelaide person to turn so pro-Melbourne, though (and the reverse is also true)

Go drink mud.

Wow, that is saying something from Naos.

Except for Hood, every key player is a #Bulldog. How could I not love this team? From the standpoint of grit, this is basically my dream roster: active, in-your-face defense at every position.

Rubio on his way to make me eat crow... I want bigger sample, but this might turn out to be an insane trade.

Don't worry, I got all that **** you said bookmarked

he and Udoh were really nice additions. They bring a different energy to the second unit.

Love the defensive intensity from both of them.

It was a duplicate and wouldn't let me delete it.
Donovan Mitchell's shooting has been impeccable this year so far. How dare any criticize 5/25 shooting. You guys are soft, yo.

I'm watching the last quarter and a half now (missed it cause i was driving to work) loving Joe talking smack and just getting into everybody's grill. Its gonna be a fun year, this team has bucket loads of character and a little bit of Aussie mongrel.

Look i think he's being asked to do a whole lot more than anybody thought he would have to do two or three weeks ago. the kid competes like a lion, I think he will improve quickly.

I was worried about this game - and the Jazz beat a team that has three all-stars. Rubio was fantastic - best game I've seen him play as a Jazzman. He made some amazing passes - especially the one to Rudy. And I like how he swings the ball to the corner - Ingles was the recipient of a few of those passes and was wide open.

Despite too many turnovers (6 by Rubio) we still win. And it's nice to see the wordt +- on the team is a -2. Rubio led with +13. If he'd hit a few more shots he'd be +20+. It's a testament to his defense and intensity.

Thunder have a pile of crap bench and it showed.

Does that translate to him being exempt from criticising his shot for you? For me, it doesn't.

I don't think its his shot, its his decision making and having to adapt to the higher level and tempo he's having to play at. He'll work it out and make better choices.
