Jazz have a game in less than an hour (UTA @ OKC)

These okc commentators sound like they don't know i can actually see what's happening. Or maybe i've just got a radio feed...
 
lol Biedrins 11 min, 6 fouls, 0 points. Not sure who is better tank commander - him or Lucas? mad props to Lindsay anyway...

That's the point, we don't have a true leader. We have a bunch of vets that will take turns commanding the tank. That way Corbin comes out looking great.

"I want 49 Million"
 
It is all growing pains at the end of the day which will pay off nicely in June next year.
 
I'm not worried about Kanter. Looks like strength/energy is his problem right now, which hasn't been a concern in the past. He should be fine, even if it takes a couple months to get into playing shape. He's doing a good job of getting position, securing the ball in the post, and making his reads before backing his man down or facing up. He throws in quick moves occasionally to keep the defenders guessing. He still has a bad habit of forcing shots up when he's surrounded (which is happening even with loads of time on the shot clock...), but that should be correctable.

Derrick's forcing everything. Not making reads at all. Just puts his head down and plows ahead. Ugly.

I agree on this. Favors is forcing way too much. However, Kanter being out of shape won't fix his defensive issues. But I think he will improve with time.

What defensive issues?So far in the preseason his defensive issues have been limited to holding his man off the block. He did a decent job in the pick and roll and in transition tonight. He's not a shot blocker, and gets caught ball watching at times, but he's decent positionally when he's focused.

I have seen a few times this year where he was out of position on help defense. And late to recover in transition. And not being as quick laterally. But that is probably due to him being out of shape.
