HOT TIP!: You can put your punctuation right next to the last letter in the last word of the sentence. <-- see how the period is snugged right up to the letter "e"? See how the question mark is placed in this one?Do you have a problem with reading bro ? or are you just a jazzfan ? When did i say Kanter playing more minutes than Adams or ibaka ? or did i say Adams and Ibaka wasnt efficient in this series ? Please try to read before you post . Also i know plus-minus not a trustful stat, but ppl love to use it against Kanter especially if its minus for him, if he had a high scoring game ppl like " hey he got his points but he had negative minus-plus" , when he got positive minus-plus ppl like " Hey he got only 2 points its doesnt matter " The jazzfans are really funny with this blind hate
And I just love it that we don't get to hate on a player that took a giant **** on our team, us as fans and our city.
Yeah, I don't like Kanter. He ****ed us over and then told us how much he hated us. If I didn't hate him I'd be a dumb ***.

Oh oh, stupid Thunder are mishandling Enes and his grand abilities. They better be careful, or he might demand to be traded, and then they will be sorry.

I think he means that Russ is objective about the product of the players for each separate series, and he tries to get the best from his team in different situations.
exactly. Denying Kanter's abilities and weakness is stupid. He is a great offensive rebounder and an offensive presence inside, you put him in against a team with guys like Duncan and LMA who are superskilled but not that mobile (Duncan is now a zombie in terms of speed and LMA was never the fastest) and even though he can be abused on D, he becomes a net contributor. You put him on against a team like the Warriors with very fast mobile bigs and lots of switching required and he sinks you and the team.
Kanter for 70M is an expensive tool, but it is still a usefull tool to have in your kit : Westbrook recognizing that he was detrimental at that time was clever and to the point, doesn't mean Kanter is crap...
I like Enes but he was terrible that night. Like his worst Jazz games terrible. Missed his first shot and from then it was diwnhill on defense.

They got rid of a poor defender. They didn't have to pay that poor defender 17 million per year. They got picks and players. They got rudy.
Kanter got paid and got on a team with superstars and got a diminished role
We don't got the women?
Yeah, I guess it would be nice if your 17 million dollar guy could play more than 9 minutes in a playoff game.

He did. It just adjust according to the opposition.
Here are his stats sorted on a game by game basis in the post season:
He even averaged one block per game in the 6 game series against the Spurs.
I would like to say that they use him just like they need to. But I would agree with you if you are just criticizing the dollars he is getting. Indeed he is expensive, but this does not mean that it is not worth it, or will not be worth it in the future. There is still time for him to live up to his MAX contract even at an higher level especially considering he is still 24 years old and have at least five years to keep developing his game at a rapid speed.
The discussion is if Kanter shows the jazz they made a mistake in these playoffs. Not if he's a good player or not. And with that said, I don't think it shows it was a mistake. Because I haven't been blown away by his play in these playoffs. And I am sure the Jazz org hasn't either. He looks the same as he did here, so we aren't missing much. Same Kanter.
Only difference is the Porn Stache.... And that is something I wish we could have had and the Jazz made a mistake on.

Not to mention he openly admitted to not fully trying here. He quit. Doesn't matter how he plays anywhere else. He quit. Period.
Quitting is underrated.
We should be slamming "premature quitting" (gave up while still had a chance to win, left a job that was very good because they got pi$$ed off one day, turned around half way up the mountain with energy to spare, filed for divorce after first serious marital fight, etc).
But all quitting is not bad.
John Stockton, age 40 -- what a quitter. If someone sucks at something or does not love what she is doing, continuing is insanity, quitting is sensible.

Yeah, Jerry quit after 20+ years here, after 2 trips to the finals, after a rebuilt, after have buried his freaking wife while he was coaching whining kids.
Kanter quit because he wanted kebab and there was only burgers that morning, and because Gobert looked like a starter and he (still) doesn't.
It's the same thing.
New guy by the way, long time stalker blah blah... Hi everyone.
Eh, $17mm is the new $10mm.
It's really not, but even if it were, the point is that's a lot to pay for a situational player. Westbrook only makes 300k more than Kanter.
John Stockton retried at the end of the season. He finished what he started. Hell he played every ****ing game his last season. Quitting in the middle of the season is bad, just like Sloan did and just like what Kanter did. Just funny how we give Sloan a pass.
