The production of TT is so consistent I think a lot of times it gets taken for granted. We all know he will be out there every game. If he dislocates his finger he will pop it back in and play the second half.

The motor that's keeping us afloat right now defensively. His game has improved tremendously this season
 
Didn't think he'd top his game against the Celtics. Even hit a jumpshot. Good for you, Double T.
 
Tristan "I earned my money" Thompson.

0 Points
0 Shots
0 Blocks
1 Off rebound against Old man Dirk who can't even jump
-22 on/off

He was great yesterday but today he was utter garbage. At least take a shot man!

This game today is a perfect example of why TT is just invaluable to this team. You pretty much cannot trade him.

Not the best day to be trumpeting his consistency. But as poorly as he played, he oftentimes is the only guy you can expect to give his all on defense, and while that's good for him, it's pretty clear that's a bad thing.
 
I admire this guy's work attitude.. Have somewhat improved his ft%, also been busting out a few jumpshots during the game.. I hope he improves.. Him being paired with a 7footer helps him crash the boards.. He had 8 orebs today.. He needs to get better and i know he will.. Great young bigman..

Btw, i still hate how he always goes for the 2 hand slam.. He gets blocked most of the time.. Go 1 hand, it's quicker...

AC mentioned tonight that Korver is trying help TT with his FT shooting.

Kind of interesting.

4/5 tonight.

Shooting 90% since Korver's coaching. Obviously can't expect that high of shooting but it really illuminates the intangibles of having a great shooter on the team.

Great players just make coaches look so good, huh

For some reason I feel like he has a hard time palming a basketball.
 
Yeah we literally might as well concede the season if we traded TT for Melo.

Thankfully there's no way it would happen because Griff isn't stupid.

He's young, athletic, smart, durable. He is dominant on the offensive glass. He is very good at a lot of the defensive things that big men are tasked with these days.

7 footers that roam the paint are cool and all , but the NBA is all about the defensive bigs who can guard out to the perimeter, switch onto smaller guys, cover a lot of ground , guard the PnR, and still protect the rim s little bit on top of that. Gobert is the best defensive 5 in the league and it's not just because of his blocks. It's because he is great on the picks and roll, he shuts off the paint completely and renders dribble penetration ineffective, and he can move out to the 3 pt line and recover if duty calls. TT isn't Gobert but he's very good on the pick and roll, very good against quick guards, very good at switching, and his rim protection gets better every year. His OREBs have always been elite as well.
 
It is not just the results. The foul shot looks better since Korver starting coaching him.
