Hahahaha. Over on RealGM an OKC forum mod is arguing with Nate and I that Kanter is not to blame, even partially, for OKC's dramtic drop, bad D and losing record over the last couple weeks. Still int he honeymoon phase
SMH...
Realgm sucks ***. I just got perma-banned for this comment in the thread about Westbrook giving a single mother a car. "Smart move. Much cheaper than paying the child support. "

Bad joke in poor taste, maybe, but what a bunch of oversensitive d-bags. The HH types who complain about the mods here should go post over at realposgm and then get back to us.
You got banned for that? That's crazy. I think they're salty as hell over there since Reddit is taking away all their traffic.

I got a suspension, but I had a couple of other fracts for trolling other team's boards, so it resulted in a permanent ban. Still, a suspension for that comment was beyond ridiculous. I guess I'll be heading to Reddit. Realgm can suck it.
Almost this exact quote was said on here repeatedly in the last 3 years. lol.quote from the OKC board "he looks like a turnstyle on defense and gets beat so easily almost like he got concrete shoes… but on offense he seems so light on his feet and has all the footwork in the world - almost like a different person on each end"
wakey wakey !! Geez i hope they give him a fat contract ..
Nearly the exact thing was said here about Boozer for years as well.Almost this exact quote was said on here repeatedly in the last 3 years. lol.
figured he’d go top five.
Cleveland had the first pick, Minnesota had the second. He flew out to both cities for a workout. But Utah had the third pick, and Enes didn’t want to go there.
It wasn’t anything against the Jazz organization, but rather the logjam of big men it already had in tow. Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap were the established starters. Turkish legend Mehmet Okur was the veteran backup. Derrick Favors, a young talent, had arrived the year before.
“They told me to come to Utah for draft practices. I didn’t go to Utah,” he said. “They came to Chicago. And you know how players meet in hotel rooms team to team. I didn’t meet with Utah.”
Enes was open about his desire to avoid that situation. He hadn’t played competitive basketball in two years. He couldn’t stomach a third straight season of relative inactiveness.
“I was so rusty,” he said. “I needed some minutes.”
Utah took Kanter anyway. The Jazz liked his talent. It made sense. But they had no way of relaying that message. The NBA lockout had hit. “No contact at all with the Jazz,” he said. Enes’ stay in basketball exile would last even longer.
When it finally lifted, Enes got some burn with the Jazz. But not enough for his liking. He averaged 13.2 minutes per game his rookie season and 15.4 his second year.
“I still feel like I wasted my time because I couldn’t play many minutes,” Enes said.
By his third season, Jefferson and Millsap were gone and Enes was getting the court time he coveted. But his relationship with Utah never fully mended. There was a certain distrust of organizations that was hard for him to overcome. He got a ruthless introduction to the business side of sports during his dealings with Fenerbahçe and the NCAA. The Jazz’s decision to draft Enes against his wishes, while understandable, may have made the relationship immediately irreparable.
OKC lose again. Kanter with 13 points and 5 rebounds. Westbrook with 54 points on 43 ****ING SHOTS. Pelicans currently leading Houston. If they hold out to win, OKC is probably out of the playoffs (since they'd would need NOP to lose to the Wolves).
