Game #13 Oklahoma City Thunder at Utah Jazz Monday 23 Nov 2015 @ 7:00pm Mtn (Early bird GT)

your Hate Goggles are too firmly attached. It isn't as bad as you say. And, he's clearly getting better at all facets of the game after just 12 games (...after sitting out since last December).

How bad did I say it was? I just said it was soft (which is bad, but I'm not saying he is the absolute worst). He has a habit of getting killed on screens. It has gotten a lot better.

What I'm writing right now isn't based just on what you've been writing in this thread. You've been a whiny bitch about Burks for a while now. It's funnnie.

? The only thing I have whined about this year is his 3pt attempts.

you'll have to forgive me if my #DiaryQueen skills aren't perfectly accurate on this one. There's been plenty of whining, and I've been paying much less attention. Surry.
 
I'll be at the game with my JazzFanz shirt. ;) Hopefully, we can get a solid win because they play the Clippers on Wednesday. No Durant would be huge, but I can definitely see Westbrook having a 40ish game. We need big contributions from everyone.

Thunder and Clippers could be coming in with some big losing streaks, gotta stay solid.
 
Thunder are having a tough game with Dallas in OKC tonight. Coming to Utah on a back-to-back possibly without Durant.
 
Bring the intensity level up. We cannot let Kanter leave with a W in our house. That and it would be nice to beat the best team in the division.
Favors, Hayward, and Gobert. The big 3 need to ALL show up from the 1st on.
 
was looking at gifs of wesbtrook and found this

thankfully we have favors and gobert protecting the paint now

No one can guard this. Except Wilt Chamberlain.
 
This is a game I was looking forward too if Exum was healthy.Exum's speed and length is unmatched at PG in the NBA and playing against Westbrook would have been fun to watch.I'm by no means saying he'd stop Westbrook but Westbrook is so deadly with those jumpers at the free throw line.He usually shoots over the top of the small PG's like he'll do tonight on Burke and Neto.Exum's length would have challenged those shots and would more than likely funnel him to Gobert.
I'm pretty damn impressed with Utah being #2 in pts allowed ,I definitely think they'd be running away as the top defense with Exum playing.
 
I think baiting Westbrook into having to score 40 points is the best strategy for beating the Thunder. Having him go 12 for 29 like he did last year while playing 48 minutes is a great plan. The trick is to not let others go off on you. I assume KD is not playing, right?
 
I think this game will be a confidence builder and be the start of a winning streak.

But, Westbrook is so going to create havoc, and his posts up will be deadly, especially because Ibaka is going to force Favors out.

Ibaka is shooting under 46% for the season so far. At some point you need to let him shoot the long 2, because he isn't near as accurate over the last couple of years as he used to be. . .

He is shooting %39 from three and %42 from 16<3pt. I doubt letting him open is a good option.

It is from 16<3pt when you consider the Thunder score 1.101 points per possession. An Ibaka long 2 based on his percentage is worth 0.84 points.

An Ibaka long two is almost a guaranteed Jazz rebound on the miss, something that a Westbrook drive to the hoop isn't.
