Utah Jazz - Oklahoma City Thunder Game Thread.

I'll be watching partly for fantasy playoffs, but I don't think I'm going to win.

Favors is the player I need to have a big game in one league, with 0 turnovers, even though I don't think I'm going to win.

 

[nuraman00]

And I need Hayward to turn it over a lot.

Hayward is also only allowed to make FTs, not FGs.

 

[nuraman00]

Burke to Kanter pick and pop. Brick.

 

[nuraman00]

Hayward to Jefferson pick and roll. Jefferson dishes it on the roll to someone, and the Jazz pass it around some more, before bricking a shot.

Hayward is the best on the team at pick and rolls.

I mean, he executed it with Jefferson on the roll, and this isn't even the young New Jersey Jefferson.

 

[nuraman00]

Kanter with two fouls in a 6 second span.

 

[nuraman00]

Durant is having the most efficient scoring season in NBA history.

I'm still not enthralled, he doesn't do much else.

 

[nuraman00]

Durant to Ibaka pick and roll, Ibaka gets blocked. Thunder then slam it home on the put back.

 

[nuraman00]

Favors makes a basket. Yes!

 

[nuraman00]

Burke with a transition 3. Brick. He's not Billups.

 

[nuraman00]

Durant to Ibaka pick and roll, Ibaka gets blocked. Thunder then slam it home on the put back.

I've always criticized Durant's ball handling, and said he can't do pick and rolls like James and Pierce.

If he can do this more often, I'll change my mind.

 

[nuraman00]

Thabeet in.

 

[nuraman00]

Favors with the step back. Brick.

 

[nuraman00]

Jefferson travels trying to fake his defender.

 

[nuraman00]

"Westbrook rises and shoots an airball".

 

[nuraman00]

Jazz lose the ball. I don't know if the turnover is on Favors or Burke.

 

[nuraman00]

Ok, that's on Burke. Whew.

 

[nuraman00]

Nice rebound by Burks.

 

[nuraman00]

Hayward-Burke transition pick and roll. Burke hits the jumper.

 

[nuraman00]

Utah has 9 points after the 1st.

 

[nuraman00]

WTF how did Favors get two turnovers in the quarter? I didn't see them.
