What's new

Kanter watch

Ouch, looks like Kanter not allowed back in the 4th qtr even though Steven Adams already has 40 minutes. 1 short rebound of keeping his double double streak alive which is highest active streak in the NBA.
 
looks like Scott Brooks could rest Russ and Enes with Adams and Dj Augustin last 4 min of the game. Or you didn't watch the game
 
Andy Larsen did am ama on reddit. One question I found interesting was this.

"From your perspective, did you get the feeling that Kanter was unhappy here before rumors started going around?
Also, out of the core players, who are the most personable?"

AL: It's funny, Kanter was an incredibly happy-go-lucky guy. He was easily the nicest player to me, even when I was ripping him: he's just a fun guy! But then, after games, especially losses, you could just see that it was eating him up that he wasn't getting more of a chance to contribute. He was making very thinly veiled comments about Ty's coaching and rotations. He clearly thought that this year would be a new beginning, but when a second coach limited him too (due to his defense), he wanted out. But yeah, he was unhappy about his situation at least going back to year 2.
Out of the core players, probably Gobert now? Hayward sees dealing with the media as part of his job, and Favors is that super quiet, hardworking type. Burke's really professional and smart, but almost too much so, and Burks doesn't talk long enough to have any idea what his personality is like. Exum I don't think has really hit his groove as a 19 year old in a new country, I'm curious to see what his evolution personally is like.

Being a Jazz fan is a good thing because Favors.
 
Like I stated before, I was pretty bummed when Kanter was traded and after he went off in the press I initially was going to chalk it up to being a young, emotional guy but other players his age have been traded before and have not made jackasses of themselves. Don't burn bridges as they say.

Kanter, you're a ****ing ****.
 
30 pts 16 rebounds with 1 assist and 1 block. Got the L too though. Kanter really needs Roberson and Ibaka back to help him on defense not to mention Durant.
 
Memphis the third worst offensive team since the all star break (only better than the Knicks and Utah) scoring 93.7 points a game. They already have 55 in the first half vs the Thunder.
 
Thunder had a bad game from Westbrook. Green was big enough to guard Westbrook. Kanter had 24 and 17,got praise from Barry. Thunders prob is most of their available roster only play offense .So their only chance to win is to outscore you.
 
Kanter had another awesome performance tonight. 24/17...and another loss. If the Pelicans win tonight, OKC will only have a 1/2 game lead for the final playoff spot. I'd love to see OKC miss the playoffs and blame Kanter for the late season collapse.
