Watched him with them twice, looked great both times.

Yea that one will sting. Not sure why or what happened with his last minute agent change, but that seemed to be the issue with brining him back

The Thunder are toying with the Nuggets in Denver.

Shooting 35% Fg and 18% for 3 won't win you many games no matter who you're playing against.

They defended them really well, I watched their 1st matchup last year, Jokic toyed with Chet, and DEN overwhelmed them with their size, all of that was gone this year.

I agree that they defended them well, but those numbers are so bad that can't be only about D, not for contenders playing at home. Both teams struggled with shooting immensely, start of the season I guess.

The Nuggets arent that good anymore. I doubt they finished top 4 in the west. There don’t have 5 NBA level starters on that team.

With this version of Murray, they're cooked, but he's a slow starter, we'll see how it goes...

Jokic ready to come here... You are welcome Nik.

I hate the sports of basketball when LAL are playing well.

It's just 2 games but i already miss DJJ...

I have a strong feeling Giannis is leaving and he will come to us.

DJJ is way better than any of the scrubs we signed this summer.

I've been wondering who will join Spurs, Jazz and Blazers in the bottom 5 in the west, the sooner that team throws in the towell the more important it gets schedule wise, looks like Pelicans are on their way, decimated by injuries, they had a nightmarish run to start the season.

11 games in check up on former Mavs
THJ shooting stroke is back, his defense is still terrible, drawing charges cost him a concussion today.
DJJ is even better than last year.
Green is one giant pile of mess.

THJ is not better than last year, but his number looks pretty similar to Klay's so far.

And where are all the Green defenders now? :lol:

Atkinson made the Cavs a juggernaut...i hope some day Mavs will have a good coach too.

Still cant fathom why the Mavs were ever interested in this guy, complete and utter bum

The guy I'd keep an eye on is Caleb Martin depending on how the Philly season plays out. Solid all around guy and a very fair deal, and has deep playoff experience.

Rockets @ Wolves today in NBA cup, we should root for either Rockets win or Wolves blow out win.
