Oklahoma City Thunder - Utah Jazz Game Thread.

Might not post much at the beginning, but will be here, especially from the middle onward.

Kanter vs. Gobert is a juicy storyline.

 

[nuraman00]

Orange is a weird color for OKC, but other than that, their new unis are decent. Lettering is nice.

Kanter to speak with Bolerjack and Harpring after the commercial break.

 

[nuraman00]

Kanter says it will be different playing here than any other arena, because he has a lot of memories of wins and losses, and he knows a lot of the players and staff.

He says he has no problems with the Jazz players or fans.

Scoring in the paint is difficult so far.

8 point Thunder lead early in the 2nd.

The Jazz Bear tackles a security guard during a timeout, in the middle of the court.

 

[nuraman00]

Gobert with a technical.

The Thunder have been better on defense, offense, and mentally.

 

[nuraman00]

63-46 halftime.

These late quarter turnovers are like splattering turkey juice all over your family when carving it.

Westbrook offensive rebound, he grabs it, goes past halfcourt, and dishes it to Kanter for the dunk at the halftime buzzer.

This is a Chernobyl game, as sakataters would call it.

If they are to be a top 4 team, they have to win, or at least be within a few points, of these types of games against good teams.

 

[nuraman00]

73-54.

I'm going to switch to a book.

Tonight, the Jazz look like the 20th best team, rather than the 12th.

Have to have a baseball mentality after tonight. "Tomorrow's a new game".
