    Jabari struggle with his shot, but still had major impact on the game… and Lord have mercy when that buttery biscuit jumper starts falling like it’s supposed to

    his defense was impressive

    9 boards, 4 steals, and 3 blocks

    Jabari haters are gonna end up looking real stupid

    Jabari haters use mayo as pizza sauce and have bad credit

    Imagine being OKC and not at least having Green waiting for regular season. They going to suck for awhile. Giddey and Holmgren both big pieces, but they need a number 1 in a big way.

    True so the floater is the most efficient shot for him in the paint. I like it for the aestetic. Floaters are hard to master, man. And he adds a sweet mid ranger.

    Nah. The shots were good - they just weren't falling. He and Tari were pretty awesome 90% of the time on defense, though. Best thing is Jabari not letting his defense slack or falter just because his offense wasn't great.

    Yes, I saw Jabari's full stat line as well. Impacting other parts of the game when your shots aren't falling is what all-star players do.

    Just want him to develop passing/playmaking and then a bad shooting game won't matter.

    Sorry but using mayo as pizza sauce is worse than hating on Jabberwocky.

    Yeah, Chet locks down the paint, he's going to come into OKC doing that day 1.

    Still, I think the big question marks regarding him are still there. Some nights he'll look Durant-ish, not many teams will have a long big defender like Jabari to annoy him. Many guys will be too slow for him or too small...but having a big that switches 1-5 is getting a lot more popular around the league

    But yeah he's going to have issues banging in the post.
