It is tempting to overreact to Enes Kanter’s 33 point/20 rebound night against the Trailblazers. But we have to remember that even though he is an undoubtedly talented player on the offensive end, his defense is such that…he…uh…SCREW IT! IT’S OVERREACTION TIME!
Watch these highlights. There is only one conclusion to be made, and that conclusion is this: Enes Kanter just took his sweaty Turkish nutsack and smeared it all over Ed Davis’ forehead. There was nothing that any of the Portland players could to do to stop his offensive assault. NOTHING. And, AND, this domination was accomplished without the aid of Kevin Durcantwin and Russell Westbrick. Could one even say that those two players are, perhaps, HOLDING DOWN Kanter? Yes, you could say that. Because they are. That is the truth, folks, and if you can’t handle it, you can screw right off.
If two supposed MVP candidates cannot even lead “their” team to the number one record in the league, than don’t you think that it’s time to hand the reins to someone else? These 33 points, these 20 rebounds, this is just a foretaste of things to come. The Thunder are Kanter’s team now.
