Donovan caught saying "Can't play Kanter" to assistant Cheeks

Yeah...I just cant emphasize this enough.

Kanter just CANNOT defend anyone, perimeter or paint.

And he is their only threat in the post on offense.

So when he is in the game, we just need to make a conscious effort to attack the paint.

Not only will we score easy points doing so but OKC will be forced to take him out of the game, and thus remove their only post threat.

 

deserves its own thread

 

We better let Kanter score 20 next game so Donovan will "have" to play him.

... so he can give up 30 on defense for us.

 

Looks like this series will come down to:

Spoiler

Kanter vs Anderson

 

Good. If they stop playing Kanter, they don't have anyone else to score. Unless Roberson keeps shooting at a 60+% rate from threes.

 

Where was Oladipo? Guy is a no show. I am not complaining.

 

Barkley post-game "OKC need to play Kanter more."

He's entertaining but a idiot analyst.

 

Closet Rockets fan confirmed.

 

Thunder don't have a chance to win the series without Kanter playing a key role.

The Rockets have to keep taking advantage of his clueless defense when he's on the floor because he will figure out how to score effectively.

I am amazed the Rockets had 7 more offensive rebounds than OKC. That's another stat they must reverse or the series is a formality.

 

I thought Kanter was better than Adams tonight too (not defensively, obviously but including both sides). Rockets edge in the bigs is HUGE

 

He may have said "can't blame Kanter" as there was no help when Kanter went over

 

Yeah, every time he was involved in a PnR was terrible for them. He's going to have a target on his back every time he checks into the game because he's such a liability.

 

Let's hope so bro...

Let's just hope so.

We need Kanter on the court as much as they need him.

 

Somebody tweet that video to Morey. I'm too lazy to create a Twitter

 

Many people underestimate how good Harden reads P&R plays. he is a savant on pick and rolls

 

They have no choice... who cares, they suck. Warm up for the big guns .

 

yeah kanter moved to the ball like he's supposed to, gordon's man (abrines?) should be moving to the roll man in that situation

 

Will be interesting to see if they'll try to play Gibson at center, probably not but still...

 

Was he serious though?


There is, as everyone on CF knows, a significant difference between saying it, and saying it while being in the condition of also being serious
