Steven Adams WILL start per Donovan, Kanter 6th man off bench

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

This dude has already made better lineup decisions than Scotty has his entire career. Crazy how little that fakkit knew about basketball. Adams is by far the best starter choice. Need his defense and toughness dont need scoring with Westbrook and KD. Adams is a better overall player too. Kanter is a biiiig negative on D and as 6th man its his perfect role:applause: :applause: :applause:

[stalkerforlife]

Best coach alive.

Gator for life.

[oh the horror]

Overpriced 6th man but that's the right choice. You do not need three scorers on the floor in the starting lineup like that with WB, Durant and Kanter.

[Sportal]

No excuses.

[imdaman99]

Good choice. Kanter will be better playing against bench big men who have little to no offensive game.

[KembaWalker]

Where are those stats that prove Kanter like one of the worst defensive centers

lol'd when OKC matched on the obvious overpay

[Uncle Drew]

So basically, they signed a 6th man for 4/70.

:oldlol:

[All Net]

Starting or not he can't see the floor in the 4th if thunder want to win

[bdreason]

And I thought Iggy was an expensive 6th man. Seems like the right coaching move to me though.

Aussies use the same language as us.

Adams is about to get owned by 70% of the leagues starting C's

Why dont you warn that Mike Armstrong guy instead

All he posts is "yarp"

yea cause he didnt start every game last year..

Adams is a beast ya derp

[plowking]

Really?

Jesus...

The league is full of great defensive big men... not so much offensive oriented or overly developed offensive centers.

He is a great tool to have in the 4th when you can't buy a bucket. Throw it low to him and watch him work.

He has like the worse defensive stats for a big in nba history. It's not about just defending bigs it's the job he does when even guards get in the paint

[GIF REACTION]

Am I the only one who gets the Mike Armstrong gimmick?

Hot Fuzz

Ya, it's called English, but it's a different dialect. Just like Canadian, UK American English's all sound different when you hear them. Heck, even in Canada I can have a hard time understanding Newfoundland English sometimes. Your perception of language is pretty narrow if you can't distinguish obvious dialects of English, the language that appears to be your preferred, and the 2nd most spoken language in the world.

I only post because you warned someone for posting something that is obviously readable with an Aussie twist about an Aussie player. There is far worse offences going on with regularity on this board, and for a mod to think this is a warn-able offence would lead one to believe you are biased against the specific poster or against Australia. Either way, bias is not a good trait for a mod.

[Xiao Yao You]

Has Enes said anything about being on the bench? He didn't like that he came off the bench in Utah even though he was starting the past couple years. Now that he got his money and lives on a plain instead of beautiful mountains he's finally happy and doesn't care?

[MiseryCityTexas]

Adams is a much better post defender than Kanter by far.

[GoatBoy]

OKC knows they cannot worry about how big of a pay day they gave Kanter. They are all in to win this year and force KD to sign back with them. Him and WB going back to back :banana:

This is an Internet forum and whether it was Aussie with a twist or not it's not the kind of slang that is suitable on a forum where you discuss topics like this.

Biased against Australia? Is this a serious post. Could care less where somebody is from. Could be from the matrix for all I care. I care about basketball discussion and when somebody spams and posts useless comments that I don't like and the poster in question is posting a lot like that lately which makes me think he is an alt account.

Hes a much better defender everywhere. Perimeter, pickandroll, switches, rim protection etc.

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Have u seen him play:facepalm :lol
u actin like 70% of the leagues starting centers are even good offensively:lol :lol

[SOD 21]

Oklahoma City outscored opponents by 13 points per 100 possessions last year, if I remember correctly, when Steven Adams and Andre Roberson were on the floor with the other three starters. It's a good starting lineup.

Steven Adams seemed like an obvious choice at center given Kanter's defensive limitations. Kanter will beat up on second tier front court players and won't be exposed as much on the defensive side of things, especially his alarmingly bad pick and roll defense.

The problem with starting Roberson, which is likely what they will do, is that it'll work fine in the regular season but teams can easily game plan him off the floor in the playoffs. I don't see how Roberson gets much time in the playoffs, at all.

Word. He is really good at getting under people's skin, and even better at looking like nothing happened when the ref only Ts up the guy he was guarding.

Which is nice when dealing with all those great bigs out west. I really like Adams, in that he doesn't have a big weakness that can be exploited on either end. He's not a shooter, but he has good hands and decent IQ

You can't be serious...this post makes me think it is your first day on ISH, have you ever read any of the other threads around here? :lol


All of us are saying you overreacted, just chill and take the L, it would also be nice of you to apologize to Kawhi for attacking him for no reason. Poor dude.

[Spurs m8]

Thanks for the dudes that supported me...I'm thinking All Net may have had a bad day or something..

Was just saying I like Adams hair at the moment...in the thread about Adams...no harm intended.


Cheers

[bluechox2]

i thought kanter wanted a bigger role...
