Donovan Mitchell is already such a stud. What a draft pick by Utah.

the only possibility is if maybe patterson is still not 100%. it just makes no sense why we are maximizing grant's minutes with the good players instead of patterson, who is demonstrably better than grant at both ends.

What are the numbers with Patterson and Adams together?

+20pp100 or something.

Alright, 12 point lead after three quarters of play. Let's see if we Thunder-up another 4th quarter. We're absolutely going to lose on Christmas day to the Rockets, so it'd be nice to go into that game three games above .500.

I really like our chances to win that game.

Awesome. Rodney Hood is cookin'. If Mitchell comes in and gets going, Utah will almost assuredly come back and win.

Maybe Billy doesn’t want to expose Melo.

Here we go...

We were up by 15 with close to 9 minutes to go.

The Jazz already have their deficit down to 9 by the 8 minute mark.

They are going at Abrines every time. Get his butt off the floor.

Even after missing a few games with an injury, Donovan Mitchell still comes back and makes everything.

We are still far from our ceiling but I like our recent improvements. We still need a scorer coming from the bench though (and a coach but that's not going to change)

Adams needs to put a screen on Mitchell like he put on Beverly last year in the playoffs. Mouthy punk.

I wish I was as cool and chill as Adams is

That Jazz broadcaster is an OKC fan. Never heard so many positive things about the Thunder.

I’d take just a good rotation perimeter player you could trust to show up most nights and could be a spot starter in a pinch.

Bradley would fit the bill perfectly.

No to Bradley please, guy is way overrated. Not what people think defensively and not a force offensively. I'd rather Lee over him easily, and right now I'm back with Roberson (don't @ me Justin).

Missed this one but seems they played well.
