10.30.13 Thunder @ Jazz Game Thread

[Out_In_Utah]

So excited for this game. I expect Jazz to lose many games this season, but I will still be pulling for them. If the season is as bad as expected, hopefully we get a top 3 pick.

[Budadiiii]

First post in first OKC game thread. :applause:

Biggest OKC fan on the planet. Die-hard.

Question my fanhood and get bullied

[Xiao Yao You]

The season will be a bust if they don't get one of the studs in the draft.

Hopefully they can at least compete at home.

Jazz historically has a good home record, which is what I think will help them avoid a bottom 3 record in the league. But their road record may bring them close to that bottom three.

Let's Go BABY!!!! Thunder basketball is back.....THUNDER UP!!! :cheers:

[CelticBaller]

Favors has skills

[O_City_Thunder]

We're missing too many ****ing easy shots in the paint.



I'm glad Scott Brooks is smart enough to give Adams some playing time.

[Cowboy Thunder]

When Steven Adams was 12 years old he was beating a 20 year old Perkins in tip 21 on a consistent basis .:bowdown:

[KG215]

Did Scott Brooks forget this game counts? He took Durant out with 2-3 minutes to go in the 1st quarter and didn't start him in the 2nd quarter.

First one is best for me

[Budadiiii]

I love everything about this team. Once Russ gets back I see us cruising to the 1 seed.

Lamb and Adams will continue to gain confidence as the season rolls on. Got the veteran savvy. KD and Russ entering their prime. Wow. I love every guy on this squad. Glad Martin is gone, he didn't fit.

Proud to be a Thunder fan. Jazz will be blown out by double digits.

[Cowboy Thunder]

I love every guy on this squad.

You love Perks contributions of fouls, scowls, and turnovers as well? Thunderstruck indeed.

[pauk]

Lets go Durant, 40 pts at least please :cheers:

I love his heart, loyalty, and passion. He's a valuable defensive player. Kendrick Perkins is an asset, remember that

What I took away from that is the Thunder practice facility is located near the Purina dog food manufacturing facility in Edmond. :lol

[Flash31]

Durant going for 40 pts with
under 10 fgm

Impressive or Not?
can't decide

[KG215]

Durant's having an odd game. 24 points on 4/11 shooting, 0 rebounds, and just 1 assist.

Getting to the line and hitting all of your free throws is incredibly impressive. Puts the other team in foul trouble and you put in points in the most efficient manner possible. All legit call too.

If you can't decide you don't know hoops

[LONGTIME]

Perkins :facepalm :lol

[Budadiiii]

Yup. I live ten minutes away. Tried frantically to meet Russ one day. :oldlol:

[Budadiiii]

Thabo said get off my Swedish nuts, bitch

[KG215]

What I took away from that is the Thunder practice facility is located near the Purina dog food manufacturing facility in Edmond. :lol
And it was a converted skating rink.

[LONGTIME]

Thabo don't do em like that!

[O_City_Thunder]

Thabo getting nasty wit it :applause:

[LONGTIME]

Was that move Jefferson did legal?

[O_City_Thunder]

Utah should give us one of their big man. Seems like they have a million of them

[Budadiiii]

The only thing that bothers me about this team is of course, our defensive rebounding..... but also Ibaka's lack of touch near the basket. Just frustrating to watch

[O_City_Thunder]

Yeah, he's missed like 6 shots near the basket, but I think he will start making as the season goes on....

[LONGTIME]

Durant needs to break that habit of carrying the ball.

[O_City_Thunder]

Getting too sloppy with the ball. Nothing pisses me off more than letting a team come back in the 4th quarter :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

[LONGTIME]

I miss Russ :cry: :lol

[O_City_Thunder]

Dat Dirk move

[KDthunderup]

God, this team needs Westbrook so bad

[inclinerator]

durant does it better than dirk so clean the net doesnt even move

[LONGTIME]

What in THE **** WAS THAT? Really Perk really...

[TylerOO]

LMAO Perkins post up in a crucial possession with less than a minute left

[DuMa]

Perk shouldnt be in these final minutes. :facepalm

[KDthunderup]

Coach Westbrook >>>> Coach Brooks

[DuMa]

durant's length and defense saves the day

[imdaman99]

Coachbrook >>>> Scott Brooks

[LONGTIME]

Wtf Kd settle for a three...

[Budadiiii]

:dancin

[Fudge]

Awwwwww Yeeeeeeeeeeee

[LONGTIME]

Ugly second half for OKC, but they got the win.

[28renyoy]

KD got pretty beat up tonight, should have dropped 50 though

[Xiao Yao You]

Utah should give us one of their big man. Seems like they have a million of them

Give?

Jazz will be losing a lot of close games at home I imagine. No experienced closers.

[O_City_Thunder]

Good Game Jazz Fans!!! :cheers:

[Xiao Yao You]

Looks like turnovers were the difference especially their so-called big guys Favors and G. Why didn't Kanter play more? Looks like nice games for him, Harris Jefferson and Burks. They should have played more.

[mrpibb]

Favors was fantastic. Gobert was also playing well, so that led to fewer minutes for Kanter. Kanter probably isn't in his best shape, either.

[andremiller07]

Ibaka without at least two superstars to carry him =:facepalm, dudes time to shine since WB went down and the dude has came up short every damn time in regular season/playoffs. You don't pay for a at best complimentary pieces who can't create anything for himself to a 10+ mil a season and lose a top 3 SG in the process while having vastly overrated defence.

Did you ever see that report about Harden being upset in the lockerroom after game 1 of the Finals (when OKC won) because he didn't get enough touches?

Glad we traded that clown

He was never and would never be a top 3 SG playing with KD and Westbrook, it was never a question of Ibaka or Harden. OKC let Harden go when they re-signed Russell.

[East_Stone_Ya]

yeah favors was solid. Would have been even better if he had made those free throws at the end of the game

Stats wise no but impact wise I don't see why not, end of the day I think they banked on Ibaka becoming a really good player which he's not and step up which he can't do unless there is no pressure on him when they moved Harden.

[mrpibb]

Well, he's young and has only taken 4 free throws in that situation in his career.

That's all I can figure after missing 6 months while rehabbing the shoulder. Afraid it's the same old story of Favors playing ahead of him regardless.

or had 6 of their 22 TO's which appear to be the difference in the game.

He also had 6 assists. Favors is legitimate. Don't let your enthusiasm for Kanter lead you to devalue other players.

[Xiao Yao You]

5 assists/6 TO's. He's a legitimate defensive force. He's starting to show some potential offensively. He's got a lot to prove to live up to the hype though. I certainly haven't devalued him. He's been over valued thus far in his career and unlike Kanter, G and Burks hasn't shown much improvement. I like guys to actually prove something to me before I get too excited about them. See Trey Burke their latest savior who hasn't shown me anything yet unlike Gobert and Neto.
