Kanter watch

Kanter since the trade has 18 points and 11 rebounds shooting 57 % from the field in just 30 minutes... (10 double doubles) lol
 
The other thing about Kanter is he is fighting through injuries and not just playing to be out there but running like a deer down the court and playing emotional in a good way with a proving to haters how good he is mentality ,even starting to dribble down the court like a guard from time to time. future all star,he is a late bloomer due to his late start and bad fortune. high ceiling,if he only plays ok D how good is he going to be.

They are not empty. They are the signs of an outstanding offensive bigman running towards his ceiling and they warn the opposition that if he learns decent defense, he will be all-star caliber. Like it or not but offense makes a lot of league renown. NBA accounts already call him a star. We know his real deficiencies but if he gets there, he will be worth of a 3rd pick. Maybe more.

You are preaching to a choir, mate. I am pissed Kanter got traded for a bag of chips. It would be hilarious if Kanter ends up playing Harden's role as 3rd go-to scorer for OKC and takes them to the finals this or next year.

Alright man. But 3rd? Will Durant ever be back? Or better, will Enes be wearing the Oklahoma pajamas after this offseason?
 
"Westbrook took umbrage when questioned about the team's defensive struggles recently.

''Defensive issues carrying over? I'm confused, you didn't say that when we won four games in a row,'' Westbrook responded to a reporter. ''I'm just a little confused.''
Oklahoma City has allowed 100-plus points in five of its last six games, including 106.3 points during its recent win streak."

No question Kanter is a great offensive talent. But he's never going to anchor a quality defensive team. And defense is what gets you shots at a championship. You can't hope to just outscore everyone. I think the SA game showed what happens when you're missing a defender like Ibaka and have only offensive-minded players in the game.

Spurs game was mainly the sign of the playoffs drawing near. The wolves of championships and playoffs started appearing with their real claws and teeth.

To be fair, ibaka is out during this stretch right?

Kanter should not be the anchor if a defense but if you surround him with other good defenders and a good scheme then I think a team with him on it could be fine defensively
