The Utah Jazz couldn't quite handle the talent and desire the Oklahoma City Thunder brought to the court last night. The Jazz hung with them for the first half, but things went steadily downhill after that. The Thunder are a fun group of guys who appear to be enjoying themselves and each other. Best record in the west as far as I know, so maybe that's easy to enjoy. I don't know, but their team chemistry was palpable.
John: The foul in #1 was obvious and intentional and did get called. Can't say I recall whether or not anything was called in #4. The Thunder shot 32 free throws to the Jazz's 13, so there was some feeling, right or wrong, that some stuff wasn't being called. Nevertheless, the Thunder were the better team, no question. Thanks.
Been back through the images and am posting a few more I like:
Billy, skogis, Frank, Tom, Bret, Richard and Ted: Thanks for your feedback/comments and favorites. Tom, I'm with you about #5, and the crazy thing is that Ibaka (#9) looks like he's out for a stroll in the park--effortless!. Richard: Those blues are awesome! There's no doubt my cameras loved it. These are far and away the best color I've gotten in this venue.
Yet another vote for the nice colors here. Those blues are popping and I'd love to be shooting those unis. Oh, some good action too. Thanks for sharing.
