Because Gobert can't score so takes less shots and isn't in his contract year? You ignored the AND in my sentence.
What's your explanation for early OKC success?
- Thread starter idiot
- Start date

I don't know why you guys are acting shocked that he's putting up points. He is going to be able to do that just fine anywhere he plays, just as he did here. We'll see how he looks when he is playing against better more mobile bigs and getting put in PnR situations. Curry, Harden, etc will make him look dreadful like always.

I think Westbrooks 17 assists is a sheer indicator of Kanters good game.

It really is insane how some are acting as if kanter was held back this year in Utah and now we are seeing the real kanter based on two games. He trends this way for 10 games and thunder are winning I will concede I was wrong.

Yeah, but Kanter making it easy for Russel to get them. Thunder Fans are talking about a unstoppable double team right now.

you'll be wrong regardless. okc is a much better fit for kanter. he'll be playing with two true superstars and thus his role is completely different than it was with utah. it was a win-win for both teams.
I hope you're right. I like Enes. I also am leaning toward the conclusion that a trade was best for the Jazz. It looked every bit as good post-Enes Game 1 for Utah.
But I'm sure everyone in OKC is ecstatic about the trade right now.

Did I? There's your post. The only AND in there is "Trey Burke and Dante Exum".
Further there is nothing about his contract year in there.
Can't wait for Rudy to own Kanter tbh.

Why is anyone judging this based on 2 games? Obviously playing with Russ and Durant will open things up for Kanter..

Well some of us who were Kanter fans are excited about what Kanter is doing in just 2 games. Just like how many of us were also happy about limiting Portlands offense to 76 pts after the trade in just 1 game sample size.
WHAT??? How was this trade a win-win for both teams? How many points, rebounds, assists, steals have we gotten from the people that Kanter was traded for? That's right none. The Jazz may never get a single point for the worthless assets OKC traded the Jazz. The draft picks may never make the team and the Jazz may never convince a free agent worth anything to come to Utah next year. In 2017 cap space is worthless since all teams will have max capable room. When it is all said and done this trade will go down as one of the worst in Jazz history and that is not hyperbole.
This is Jazzfanz. Not 'Players-Who-Are-Painfully-Slow-On-Defense Fanz'. Go talk about it over there. Dude doesn't play for the Jazz.
All these threads need to be closed and locked. 'Kanter' needs to be censored.
Yeah, that floor spacing that Houston, GSW, Dallas, Portland, Spurs bring to the table is in some serious trouble with Kanter scrambling around on defense.

Right, we'll see how much he likes it when KD comes back. It will be a great fit if Kanter can accept his role. We've all seen a similar situation with Kevin Love, and once Enes becomes an afterthought playing next to Westbrook and KD, we'll just see how he reacts.

I agree with the ones that say close Kanter threads. Obviously, both the Jazz and he needed that trade. But there's the probability that people will keep talking about him when he performs and some other will talk when he fails and you can't close all of the threads.
OKC fans have never seen a scoring Center and have been seeing a steady dose of Westbrook and Kanter runnng the PNR. A +36 for Kanter a +33 for Westbrook
I'm with Blue Elephant and said it even before the season started Burke has a hard time delivering the ball to the bigs .He does run the PNR with Favors ,too bad he never figured out with the better offensive player in Kanter
