Kanter watch

Not saying that.
Just saying that westbrook had one of the best stretches of basketball that alot of us have ever seen.

If he played that well simply because kanter arrived then I expect him to record triple doubles in the next 6 games that okc play.

I think he just got hot and no one could stop him at that time. Kanter just happened to arrive on the thunder at the right time to be a part of it. I think it was coincidence

Since the trade Kanter is the most assisted target of RW. 24.6% of RW's assists come from makes by Enes Kanter. The second highest is Serge Ibaka at 16.0%. The next highest Dion at 11.5%.

Since the Ibaka injury Kanter has been the cause of 29.6% of RW assists. The second highest is Steven Adams at 18%. Dion at 14.8%. Everyone else is below double digit.

During the stretch when both Kanter and Ibaka were playing. Ibaka had 28.6% of RW's assists while Kanter had 21.7%. No one else is even double digit. Literally half of his assists came from the two bigmen.

Literally over a quarter of RW's assists since the Ibaka injury have come through Kanter. At the very least Kanter impacts positively to RW in some way offensively. Could maybe argue RW is more comfortable with taking shots knowing Kanter can rebound them at an elite rate. Also Kanter probably provides one of the largest amount of gravity in the NBA for a center. I remember an assist he had to Anthony Marrow where Kanter was literally triple teamed about 15 ft from the basket.

And what's the news on his D?

I'm kidding. I don't expect him to play defense unless they make it to playoffs or he signs a contract so that he won't stuff stats for higher wages.

Don't you even consider that Kanter helped him doing those crazy things? Do you think, Westbrook could have had so much assists without Kanter (for example)?

Maybe not.
Still would have had tons of points and rebounds though and some assists.

Like I said, if it was because of kanter then we should see him get a bunch more triple doubles to finish the season since kanter is still playing with him right?

Fair enough.
So since westbrooks great play is credited to kanter, and not just westbrook getting hot and playing out of his mind for a stretch, then we should see westbrook gets a bunch more triple doubles to end the year since kanter is still his teammate

Didn't say all of his great play. Just having someone with Kanters offensive ability helps a little especially with KD and Ibaka out.
 
NO up on the Warriors and OKC losing to the Spurs...

The Pelicans will be the 8th seed tonight.
 
good for Kanter.

Wouldn't it help the jazz if the thunder make the playoffs? The draft pick and all.
