That first Ingles 3 is pretty weird. I've seen people pump fake into a dribble side step, but I dont I have ever seen anyone pump fake into a dribble side-hop.

Like honestly, what was Joe saying to this poor rookie? Joe looks like some drunk hobo who walks up on you yelling about conspiracy theories.
 
Wasn't that Ferguson the guy that played in the NBL last year. Kind of wondering if Ingles was sticking up for the homeland :)

yes it was. who knows could have been anything, thats why i don't bother homeless people sleeping rough in the city.
 
What a great game. The Jazz have now shut down 2 teams that are going to be great offensively this season. If this team had a reliable 20+ wing player it would be scary good.
 
I'm finding myself agreeing with naos on every jazz-related take so far this season and frankly it grosses me out

- most followable jazz team of my life as a fan (presuming Hood comes back strong, Dante comes back)
- ppl saying Donovan "can't shoot" are ****ing idiots. He looks fine. He's doing okay. There's a reason he was given the keys to start again

Idiots? Have you watched a game in totality? Dude can't hit the side of a barn and has more airballs than the bitches from clueless. Do I think he's this bad of a shooter? God, I hope not. Has he shown me he'll be fine? What the **** you smoking? Kid looks nervous af.
3-11
1-7
1-7
Yeah, "idiots."

Possibly, maybe, kinda.

Just to give some context for our American friends: Ferg did play in the NBL, for the Adelaide 36ers, Ingles' home-town team. Adelaide also has a rivalry with Melbourne, which goes across all sporting codes. When Melbourne played OKC in the pre-season, Ferguson stated "I hate Melbourne, I'm an Adelaide boy for life!" which the local marketing people picked up on.

However, when Jingles played in the NBL, he played for a now-defunct Melbourne team, and his wife is also from Melbourne. Maybe he was talking Melbourne smack to the "Adelaide boy"? It would be odd for an Adelaide person to turn so pro-Melbourne, though (and the reverse is also true)
 
If Ingles weren't on the Jazz, I'd really hate him.

As for Mitchell, Quin just needs to let him keep shooting. Most of his shots haven't been that far off. He's playing great defense, penetrating, find open players. He led the team in assists with 6. He's playing like we had hoped Dante would. I'm not worried at all. I think he'll settle down and the shots will start falling.

I know we hated +/-, but Westbrook was -18 tonight and Paul George was -14. No one else on the Thunder was worse than -6. Rubio was +13 and Udoh was +11. Ekpe may not have had great stats, but he shut down the inside when he was in the game. I liked Withey, but Udoh is such a HUGE upgrade.

He was getting schooled defensively at times. Mind you, he was given some sick covers in his 3rd NBA game.
