Saturday Thunder VS Bobcats 7 PM ET ---- Enes Kanter Night

[8]

Looked like the same Enes to me. That's what's to be expected anyway, isn't it?

This OKC team is dangerous right now. That was an pretty easy win on the road against hornets with Durant beeing out and 2 new players in the starting line up and a third one gettin major minutes of the bench.

Kanter with a double double and even 2 assists and his team won.
Not bad for his first game. Okc fans have to be happy with his first game.

And Jefferson scoring 20 pts isn't really "going off" imo.

He played well today. If he is cool with being a somewhat limited player (matchup dependent) I think he can be really good in that role. If he wants to be a star, I think he'll be disappointed.

I hope it works out well for him in OKC, he's not a bad guy but Utah wasn't a good fit for him. No way could we have paid him 12+ mill, Favors 12+ mill, and Gobert likely at least that much.

Adams is 7 pts 7 rebs ,he isnt anything special at all ,..know some basketball

I forwarded this quote to some OKC Thunder fans on another NBA board. They think you are stupid.

We are going to stalk Kanters games a little bit because the break up is fresh but after a couple weeks we'll be able to move on.

Agreed.
I won't care in few weeks.
For now I'm interested

Solid game by Kanter, had a noticeable impact on the game.

I think he just wants to win games and feeling protagonist....he just needed a team that gives him total trust.

Wonder if it's the coaching change, or if he was told in no uncertain terms: "Don't shoot until you know the offense. Pass to Ibaka or Westbrook, unless you're rolling or popping."

It's just giving the last ball to an elite scorer. He'll be fine as long as he doesn't become a black hole. He cannot actually or they cut him.

Some eastern crap team is going to offer Kanter the max. OKC is too cheap to match, Jazz would not have matched either.

? He was given plenty of trust and freedom with Snyder.
