FroButtons 263 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 They really do miss him on a lot of PNRs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
absknicks 3,051 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Good to see he has a pulse. Huge line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
magic32 323 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 (edited) This has to prove he just doesn't give full effort out there usually. For him to have the only solid game against his former team, it shows this is what he can potentially do if he actually gave maximum effort. And i am not talking about the 29 points which is crazy for him. I'd be happy with half those points but with similar boards and blocks which has more to do with effort. Shots hit or miss, but those things are about effort. I really have no idea if this is a just a one-time thing and a sell-high situation or a wait and see situation where his value can go down and good trades wouldn't be possible...

VelvetMerkin 689 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Did he just the dagger to win possibly win the game? If so, that's how you revenge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jehob 673 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 how did he score his points? what was so different about this game vs the others? just his effort as mentioned above? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sylvanus 35 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 He was aggressive but they also ran plays for him. I'm especially impressed by the last shot where he put the ball on the floor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Took the revenge game to finally put some effort the boards. Good game for you owners though. Congrats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EL-Guti 105 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 The points could be a fluke but after apologizing to Orlando fans I dont think the effort is a fluke. We could see a different ibaka from here on out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shredded 646 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 glad they won in the hands of Ibaka the boards, the blocks, the usage, the game winner, this could finally be the new ibaka we drafted Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beautiful move on Adams who's a terrific defender. Just shows how good this guy can be when he fully applies himself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sya 744 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Vogel probably gave this guy all the minutes he can handle for obvious reasons, but at least he took full advantage of it. Also, kudos to OKC fans for actually giving this guy a good ovation, because he was traded and didn't actually leave the team. I don't understand why some fans boo their former long time players when the team trades them (and not the player asking to be traded) esp when the player gave everything he had for the team Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mad Luke 316 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I have just traded his sorry a** yesterday, and he starts to ball NOW? FML I mean, I still got his production from last night, but if this becomes a trend I'm on the wrong side of the trade. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The rebounds weren't because he was going against his former team (he'll occasionally have decent rebounding games), the points were. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rob0403 1,247 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I would wait one game and see what happens. Magic sucks under the old vooch offense and this was what Vogel hoped for. Both sides are interested in him having a good year since the Magic traded for him and Ibaka is on a contract year. I'd be surprised if he didn't improve at all from the lows he was at. Besides you woul need a confirmation game to sell high probably. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd almost rather he never had a game this good because I 100% now know that his awful-ness has simply been a lack of effort and this one game is an outlier... ibaka is officially a sucker to me Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Plus he earns an additional 2.5m if he can get DPOY (not happening) and be 1st team defensive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cois 29 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 (edited) Shockingly, he's at 41st on the season now for 9 cat ESPN. Less surprisingly only 65th on per game rankings. But a top 50 season seems realistic even. Edited November 14, 2016 by cois Quote Link to post Share on other sites
