so in the 4.5 more mpg he played this year he averaged roughly 1 rebound per minute?

Yep, just in those extra 5 mins.

[BigOrange1 6436]

well damn.  the knicks should have played him 36 minutes/game then.  he'd have averaged 25 rebounds per game!

Now you're getting it.  Just another failure by the terrible Knicks management.

[ChiTownDoc 21152]

Lol.  That was a fun read from down 25 to covering the spread.  Utah should still be ok but damn if they blow this one at home...

[immortal13 4059]

That was crazy. I would've been a pissed off motherfucker if I had bet on the game

You are delusional.

Now, if only Presti had resigned Gibson, and also kept Kanter & McDermott instead of trading them for Melo, this team could have given Houston a run, but Utah wins in SLC...

Yeah, they came back last night because Westbrook and PG went nuts and hit everything they threw up.

The bench scored a whopping 10 points and Melo and his $28M scored 7.  In an era where everyone can shoot, Presti has built an entire supporting roster of defensive guys who can't shoot.

And can't really even play defense (with Presti's buddy Donovan at the helm)... I can only imagine what a mastermind like Pop could do with just Russ/ PG & Melo for the Spurs...

And the coach has no idea what he is doing & lets the offense just freeball it, while on defense, if you wait long enough, someone will switch off to a total mismatch for a layup...

Yeah, we'll see.  Losing a series after being up 3-1 can ruin a franchise.

Especially by blowing a big 3rd quarter lead, we have seen the same movie with the Clippers

yeah that is what I thought about.   Clips were never the same........not that they were great to start.

[BigOrange1 6436]

clips blew that lead at home though and then had to go play game 7 on the road.  and they didn't blow it because their defensive player of the year was in foul trouble.  they just blew it by clippering it up.

Not really.  Melo is on the roster...he can’t play defense or shoot.  You’re giving Presti too much credit.  

[kopp0e 1135]

The halftime score for this game is the same as zero-zero...

[Machinator 32099]

Block party in Salt Lake City right now.

[hobbes2702 13032]

You’re playing 4 on 5 with Melo on the court.

[Machinator 32099]

If you're going to foul, foul hard.

[Monster 219]

Utah crowd might start setting cars on fire in the parking lot if they lose this game.  They seem really angry. 

[Machinator 32099]

Huge 3 for Felton. The NBA is just ridiculous in that holding a 10 point lead with more than 2 minutes left feels immaterial.

[hobbes2702 13032]

I know the shot clock was low but Jesus Russ 

[Machinator 32099]

That was bad Westbrook there.

[Machinator 32099]

And that was good Westbrook there.

[hobbes2702 13032]

Fouled on a three. Wow

[hobbes2702 13032]

Never mind 

[kingkoopa6 8349]

tuned in... 

[kingkoopa6 8349]

they don't need to go for three...... lol... they go for three

[Machinator 32099]

Utah can't get a rebound.

[hobbes2702 13032]

They go for three, three times. Donovan does no coaching at all

[HtownHorn 14677]

Westbrick(44 attempts to 48 for the rest of the team) was about to launch another horrible 3 before Donovan called TO.

[kingkoopa6 8349]

lmao.. billy literally ran to the free throw line.. should have just passed him the ball....

[BigOrange1 6436]

my god the jazz can not grab a rebound this possession to save their lives. 

[HtownHorn 14677]

They get another shot.

[TexArcher 37774]

Pretty sure the Rockets can beat both of these teams at the same time.

Not sure who else is supposed to shoot. That’s way too many shots but PG13 is 2/14 and Melo is worse. Adams and Westbrook are the only players who can score today 

[BigOrange1 6436]

 

[BigOrange1 6436]

was there any other way for this team of dumbasses to go out?

83 shot attempts in 2 games seems a little high.

[Machinator 32099]

George was fouled. But what a terrible attempt to foul by OKC.

Edited April 28, 2018 by Machinator

[hobbes2702 13032]

OKC needs a complete rebuild.

[crony 359]

Goodbye OKC

[ChiTownDoc 21152]

Terrible no call on George.  But he has sucked so much dick not surprised he didn’t get the call.

Yeah, they need to get Russ some help.  Poor guy's never had a good teammate.

Russ is his best teammate.

[ChiTownDoc 21152]

Hilarious that anyone can watch this mess and blame WB.  If George and Melo are average they win this game.  They both sucked.  Shocking.

Well when one player takes 46% of the team's attempts, it's going to be hard for anyone else to score.
