Enes is playing pretty well and contributing actually, but KD was unbelievably bad. Worst game of his career? And Westbrook is usually like a rabid dog. It's still effective 50% of the time though.
I wish everything went well and he stayed in SLC, leading the score punch of the front man trio.

Durant scored 21 points on 33 shots with 7 TOs!
MAX PLAYER BABY!!!!!
But in all seriousness I am glad the Thunder got the L last night lol.
I am being facetus this whole thread. Making fun of the haters. I love Kanter I believe he will become a all star. Of course he is not the reason OKC is not championship material.

Rudy made him dizzy.
Here is the difference. Withey is a hard working professional. Kanter is a prima donna. Withey is working hard and giving all of his effort so it is easy for Quin to praise him and let him know he appreciates his efforts. Corbin did not have that luxury because Kanter did not do this. Kanter apparently told the Jazz that he did not want to be drafted here because we had good players ahead of him. The Jazz have had a pretty good record of player development. People rag on the Jazz for always going after the sure thing. Kanter had the highest potential and could have been a star, unfortunately it did not work out that way. With his skills on offense there was a reasonably good chance the Jazz could develop him to be adequate defensively. Quin would have been better then Corbin undoubtedly but it ultimately falls back to the player. In his first season or two I remember Kanter seemed to be a very hard worker and I was really excited about his long term potential. After his shoulder injury it seemed to me that the effort was gone. In the end it comes down to attitude and Kanter's went from bad to worse as time progressed. This change in attitude was obvious to me and he went from one of my favorite players to an annoyance at wasted potential fairly quickly. If Kanter had brought a Gobert quality attitude the Jazz would be a true contender. The rest of the bench would be very different but the Jazz would be tough. For example. If Kanter had stayed the Jazz could have gotten D Booker instead of Trey Lyles (I like Lyles but in the fantasy team with a good attitude Kanter that would have been a better pick.) That would have meant zero minutes for TB and CJ at the 2. The Jazz may have also been able to get a better wing as a free agent instead of Trevor Booker. (that would have been sad because Booker gave me one of my all time favorite quotes (He got his 20 points and the L as usual) That would have made the Jazz a stronger contender and maybe they would have gone after a veteran point guard as insurance for a run.
I put most of this on Kanter. The Jazz had faith in him to draft him. They had faith that they could build him. Unfortunately he did not have the Chutzpah of a champion. Based on how he played for us and has played since. I am glad we do not have him as a max contract and I hope he continues to play well but never wins anything. Looking back at that draft it was a weak draft. It is sad that the Jazz won the 3 pick in a year with out a true star at the 3 and that Kanter did not live up to his potential.
I'll rep you for this one, and neg you for saying wowie and your dumb *** response to diamond on one of the last two pages. Rep equality.
A well deserved neg in response to your continuous arguing or negging my posts no matter what I write if it concerns Kanter.

Um, what?
In this calendar year, you have negged me three times. I've repped you once and negged you twice. The first neg was for calling Favors a soft b**** a couple weeks ago, and the second was in this thread for your comment about Kanter being a player to step it up in the playoffs while Hayward shrinks in big games.

First of all, I didn't write that Favors is a soft bitch. I just wrote this:
Second, you didn't neg me for this post, so stop to lie without shame.
Um, that wasn't the post I was referring to.

It was this one. Although you're right, you didn't call him a soft b****. You called him a pus*y. My bad.

I wrote it because I wanted that our best players "bite the bullet" in crucial games for the playoff race, even if they had little injuries.
Anyway you didn't neg me in this post neither.
That was definitely more than a little injury. Favors had no lift against the Clippers the previous game, nor against the Mavs the next night. He was clearly nowhere near his normal self.
And again, the only other post I negged you on in this calendar year was the one I cited earlier. I didn't even neg you for the Kanter bit either - it was the Hayward part.
Yes the game against Dallas showed I underestimated his injury.

Guys, guys, come on. No matter how much we disagree about how much Kanter sucks, at least we can all agree that he's a big, hairy *****.
I hope KD and Westbrook bolt, not LA, and Kanter continue to get his stats and the Thunder finish 20-62
