Utah Jazz @ Milwaukee Bucks 6pm Mountain Time *Official Game Thread*

Can everyone either confirm or deny wether or not they have commented about Stoked's prediction? I'm keeping a list. Thanks.

Nope. There's always up and downs. Look at last night, it was probably one of the best defensive games the jazz have had, you can't just forget that.

One of the best? How so? We lost to the worst team in the league and their small forward shot 13-14 from the field as as a team they shot 57% from the field....

Since this is the Bucks game thread, and we played the Pacers the night before, it might be logical to assume that he was referring to when we played the Pacers.

I was talking about the Pacers game. The Bucks game was probably the worst defensive game of the season for the Jazz so far.
 
The most interesting and important thing about last game is that Matt and Boler, especially Matt kept on talking how bad the Jazz record is when Kanter starts. There seems to be an effort to show the tendency to drop Kanter off the rebuilding wagon. Even when the guy is the only one to perform well among the team, they put the numbers of the win-loss record of the Jazz when Enes starts and when he does not.

Enes will suck again. But this will not happen because he starts or something else. It will be because of his lack of confidence and basketball IQ. And this can only be fixed by giving this raw talent consistent role and minutes. Even his untaught dead body can put up numbers like that, I am excited to see how he would do under the wand of a better tactics man.

+ And I want to add that against the Bucks, I've seen a really back on track Kanter who trusted himself, trusted his strength and shoved his body to the paint defenders to exploit whatever mismatch they got. The main difference was that he kicked out whenever a guy was open. Jefferson missed an open one. I think Enes will earn many assists from those kick outs. Another one was a long bounce pass from the high post to under the rim position. I don't remember the receiver. It looked confident, but a little overconfident to try for an inexperienced passer like Kanter. But still, you can't get any development unless you risk some of your game and try new things to open up the team game. I liked what I saw.

Another thing I wanted to add is this season has an upside on his Rawness Kanter, since he had to put up with a lot of coach BS coming at him all the time, getting benched and stuff. That brought his buns down enough to let him focus on his basketball rather than posing around. Next season might be slightly better for him under a different coach.
