As in most cases Star power > Solid team ball with no stars

116 points against Utah is impressive for the Thunder, and indicative that the Jazz have some work to do. It'll be interesting to see the adjustments for game 2.

Not as much as Westbrook. Also, he's the only offensive threat the Jazz have and the only player that can create his own shot. He's been asked to carry the burden of the Jazz offense and has done a marvelous job for a rookie. He shot 50% tonight in his playoff debut, only bright spot for the Jazz.

Everything about him is a joke, including his name. Embarrassment to Jazz fans on here.

Seriously, I get more joy in beating a team at full strength. Its sickening that someone would actually encourage purposely injurying another player. Also its just one game, PG is not going to this hot every game.

This was a good game. The series will live up to its potential. Don't write off UTA ever though. This will be long unless OKC keep making those contested jumpshots.

Hard to believe Mitchell is a rookie. He's amazing. Fearless.

Utah doesn't have particularly elite individual perimeter defenders. They play great team defense and have an elite defensive anchor.

OKC is immune to some of this, because they play a lot of isolation and P&R basketball where they can put those individual defenders on an island in space.

George shoots out of his mind and OKC shoots almost 100% from the FT line. Still a close game. Utah takes game 2.

Doesn't surprise me that the Thunder won. I pegged them as the team most likely to pull an upset in the first round. Hopefully the Jazz can take them down, though. Time for Ingles to pull out some of that Australian rage!

You're telling me Mitchell aint a star? Also Gobert is a star, this just isn't a great matchup for him.

Guess we should get a happy Westbrook in the presser. Westbrook pressers are always must watch TV.
