Im sure there is as its being televised on NBA Tv and also KJZZ
NBA TV is broadcasting the game.
I turned on the Philly vs SA game and the first thing I see is Okafor get beaten back on D and luckily for him the PG made a bad pass or else it would have been a dunk.

Are you the poster formerly known as A-Train?
You ever end up playing ball anywhere?
You gave away his secret identity.
Okafor can definitely ball on the offensive end. He has 20 points and 10 rebounds with 1 minute left in the game. He will struggle on the defensive end for sure, but we already knew that.
He has been good on defense today.
Or at least better than I thought he would be.
It's only D-League, but Spurs are only shooting 35% from the field as a team and Okafor has played just as many minutes as anyone. He at least isn't completely compromising his team's defense, as far as I can tell.
Jazz playing that Black Sabbath during dead ball, nice.
Don't think shedding lbs will help. He is always going to be slow, but you can still be a slow/bad pnr defender and still be a good defensive player. I thought I saw some good use of positioning and verticality by Okafor today, which is a good sign.
Marc Gasol can't really cover the PNR well at all and is still considered a top defender.
I'll be so mad if they change announcers for the Utah game and it's Steve Brown.
I'm way too excited for this game right now.
Lol Boler just said Exum and Smart both went 6th. Wtf.
Both starting lineups are signed players on each respective team.
*Except maybe CJ Fair*
