Game 17: Utah Jazz (9-7) @ Oklahoma City Thunder (12-4)

The stats on ESPN can't be right.

Does Watson have 8 assists in 7 minutes?

Yep, and Enes pulled off 18/7 in 11 minutes

EDIT: Nevermind, ESPN had their stats wrong. Watson played 13 and Enes played 15. Still impressive.

Not a game I expected to win, but it was nice to see Burkes and Kanter get some burn.

I'm starting to hate Hayward off the bench. Sure, he gets more opportunities, but he's becoming a chucker. Last year, he played within the offense and tried to get players involved. This year, he thinks he's Kobe, but he can't finish inside or consistently hit his jumpers.
Earl and Kanter were great tonight. I still believe Burks can be a good player. He needs more playing time. As of right now, we have too many players. Gotta trade someone if we keep playing .500 ball for the next 20 games.

He's becoming a chucker because nobody else on the 2nd unit can shoot.......

I'm not sure Hayward has taken a bad shot.

He's just missing too many of them.

Watson should be the backup PG.

Just saw NBA standings and I just had to come over to say something about Harpring's dumb comments last night. First he called Durant the best offensive player in the game, which I completely disagree with. Lebron is much better at getting others involved and can outscore Durant any time he wants to. Secondly, he said that at this pace, the Heat have lost too many games for Lebron to be MVP, and that it should go to Durant. Hello!! Miami has lost 3 games, OKC has lost 4. Wake up Harpring.

As far as previous comments on this thread go, I agree Hayward looks more like a chucker lately, but I'm happy about it. He needs to get over his timidness, and become confident in his scoring abilities. Too many times as a starter he doesn't look for his own shot when he should. He's really not turning out to be as good of a shooter as I had hoped though.
