    Great defense by Bari, offense was awful most of the game but I loved that he took that many shots.

    BTW...Chet shot 30% and only attempted a three.

    Watch the possessions, Bari checked him mostly, Chet would face up on him to start the game then went into ball protection mode with him when he realized he wouldn't be breaking him down today.

    To have a long defender like this will be a huge benefit.

    Much better team showing this game. I like what I saw from Jabari. Shots will fall. I see a complete player there. Dude is damn good on D and rebounds well.

    Tari and TyTy very solid along with Nix.

    just glad to see the team play together and more complete.

    I mean OKC has like what 30+ 1st round picks in the next 5 or what 7 years??? they have to throw darts and hope to hit on something, if you're not drafting in the top 5 its kinda a crapshoot in getting talent that can turn into franchise pieces. this is the highest OKC has drafted since they started their rebuild and they got Chet(a no brainer pick)

    Couldn’t catch the game - Jabari’s stats look good, but why did he miss so many shots? Shot just not falling, or taking bad shots?
