    Below average is low though. It certainly isn't above average/bad like the original post implied.

    Kanter double double and Dame is 2 assist away from one.

    For Detroit? One possession is not that far below. 2 or 3? Sure.

    Also, for further context 60 is the high average for a team.

    I agree... I wouldn't have made a post saying our defense was amazing because we held them 3 points under their average. I also wouldn't say our defense was bad because the 29th rank defense held a team under their average.

    Our defense will always be bad. We are just playing a shitty team.

    I really appreciate Powell's ability to draw fouls, that's a nice addition.

    I agree... of all the games to complain about it, this wouldn't be one (so far).

    I didn't get a good look at the travel call on Kanter. Was it the right call?

    Didn't he miss a bunch of games the last couple years due to health reasons?

    One thing I appreciate about Kanter is that when he's feeling it, he doesn't try to expand his offensive game, he just keeps doing what got him to that point.

    This is what it felt like to be on the Jazz side of their game vs the Blazers

    Yeah that's why I'm asking--think it was a blood clot in his leg so I'm hoping it's not that again.

    It's funny how some people think messing around with lineups is what people are talking about when they speak on Terry's lack of adjustments.

    It's far more fun being the superior team!
