Oh well that's depressing. Only worth watching SGA and Bazley. Nothing serious with Gallo I hope?

I’ve never seen Adams make a move quite like that. Hopefully Travis Schlenk is watching.

It only took Billy two and a half years to figure out going under screens is the way to defend Utah.
“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.

Dort is a lot of fun. Just pure unadulterated energy.

Fun game to watch. It’s got to drive the opposing team crazy when Dennis has one of these games off the bench. Dort looks legit as an nba defender. I really wish Shai would quit blowing this easy shots at the rim. Good defense and a lot of unselfish plays. Cp3 put on a nice show for a potential suitor.

It’s got to be rough to be a jazz fan right now. They’ve been such a disappointment.

Cp3 telling shai that backdoor was open was a neat moment. So was Gobert getting danced on. Paul is so much fun.

This Dort guy is interesting. Chris on the broadcast hit on it when he said Dort has a low center of gravity and it enables him to stay in front. I'm sure he'll have his ups and downs but the physical tools are certainly intriguing on defense.

Now the jumper on the other hand is next level awful from what I can tell.

I just can't get over Paul smacking Rudy on the ass with the ball like that. Probably the funniest thing I've seen in an NBA game in years.

mitchell got by everyone with ease except dort. made dort look silly a couple times and maybe he's not conditioned well enough but it was an interesting game for him. like many a presti hail mary, he would have to develop a shot imo to have a consistent role on a winning team.

Nice win! I think the Thunder have turned a corner recently and have started to gel. CP3 still has something left in the tank and he's got a solid supporting cast around him. This team is no joke.

CP3 looked so bad early in the season. I feared he was toast but he is playing great now. What a huge improvement!
My eyes glaze over when reading alternative stat (not advanced stat) narratives that go many paragraphs long. If you can not make your point in 2 paragraphs it may not be a great point. :D
